you do know that although the awards are given in the Queens name

she has no input into who gets them

and that a vast majority of them go to ordinary people , do you resent them getting an award

we only read about the high profile people who get them

789 (72%) of the recipients are people who have undertaken outstanding work in their communities either in a voluntary or paid capacity.
556 women are recognised in the List, representing 51% of the total
9.1% of the successful candidates come from a BAME background
11% of the successful candidates consider themselves to have a disability (under the Equality Act 2010)
3.3% of recipients identified as being LGBT+
