LONDON — British authorities have released a list of the more than 250 people who rejected royal honors over the past half-century. The Cabinet Office’s list of rebellious would-be award recipients include author Roald Dahl, artist Lucian Freud and sculptor Henry Moore. Painter Francis Bacon and novelist Aldous Huxley are on the list, which was made public Thursday following a freedom of information request.

For many, the disclosure was the first official confirmation that they had rejected a royal award. Generally such rejections are kept confidential unless the recipient goes public or the news leaks.
