Who is the most famous person?

[Richt]

A question for all the non brits!

I you were to be asked "Who is the most famous brit", who would you name?

The queen, Prince Charles, David Beckham? Or someone else? I am intrigued as to who is the best known.

Rich

Well, since we used to have to sing God Save the Queen, I guess I've known about Queen Elizabeth since I was about 4 years old. So I guess she's the most famous person.

David Beckham.....yeah, he's married to Posh Spice, right? lolololololol

My new favourite British hottie (besides Rich) is Colin Firth. I'd watch him change a light bulb. (droooool)

Do they have to be alive or can they be deceased?

Alive and dead.

I'd say Princess Diana!

Re: Who is the most famous person?

Ditto to Sheshy's answer...Princess Di. I really think she's probably the only Brit that all Americans recognize. Queen Elizabeth is second.

all those other people mentioned so far, I have never heard of!

You have never even heard of Prince Charles?

He was married to Diana for quite a long time.

I'll have to go with queen Liz, since we have to look at her daily on our money (well on the days i actually HAVE money).

My stepdaughter, when she was younger thought 'the lady on the money' was the wife of the owner of our local corner store..she had the same hairstyle LOL.

Re: Who is the most famous person?

Diana was known in a positive light more than most Brits. (In my opinion). Next on my list of Brits that I regard as 'famous':

Mick Jagger (of course, he's my fav singer)
Tony Blair (cause he is always in the news)
Hugh Grant (cause he's my fav actor and I love his voice)

Thats about all. There are others I'm aware of but these are my favs.

He was married to Diana for quite a long time.

Yea, I know who he is, but I don't like him so I chose to ignore him.

Oh oh oh Mick Jagger, how could I forget Mick?

Re: Who is the most famous person?

I'm gonna have to vote for Princess Diana. After that, the Beatles. Kira Knightly (or however you spell her name) is gaining some popularity in the states. The UK has all kinds of actors that I enjoy: Sean Connery, Alan Rickman, Anthony Hopkins, Judi Dench, and Catherine Zeta-Jones just to name a few. They all seem to be popular.
