He turned down a knighthood because of it. Possibly the only person who ever turned one down.

Not only did he turn down knighthood, Peter O’Toole who played him in film also turned down knighthood. Yea I know, weird

At least 82 other people turned down the knighthood that Lawrence also turned down. See here: List_of_people_who_have_declined_a_British_honour#Knighthood_(Knight_Bachelor)
