Why George Harrison Said Queen Elizabeth II's Niceness 'Made It Worse Somehow'

George Harrison wasn’t overly fussed about his country’s monarchy and Queen Elizabeth II. He cared much more about the only figure above her, God. However, that doesn’t mean the former Beatle disliked the queen. He thought she was a very nice lady, but her niceness “made it worse somehow.”

According to Beatles Bible, Harold Wilson, the prime minister, nominated The Beatles for the award. Many speculated Wilson selected the Fab Four to gain the support of younger voters.

Shortly after, The Beatles held a press conference about the award at Twickenham Film Studios, where they watched a rough cut of Help!

“We thought that MBE stood for Mr. Brian Epstein because we always sign his contracts because he’s our manager,” Paul McCartney joked.
