Did Sir Robert Peel become Lord Peel?

Answer:

No. Initially Queen Victoria resented Sir Robert as she had formed a strong relationship with the preceding Prime Minister, Lord Melbourne. Years later and through the influence of Prince Albert, Queen Victoria ranked Sir Robert Peel as a great friend to the Crown, visiting his estate, and offering him a hereditary title. Sir Robert politely deferred. When offered the honor of a Westminster Burial, he also deferred, stating he came from the people and should return to them and the place he was born.
