Whilst I fully respect anyone's decision to turn them down are those that do forgetting that they are not politicians and whilst the cabinet office vets the awards and makes the final decisions other than political appointees people are nominated by others so is to turn it down not being slightly disrespectful to those (usually normal non political titled people) that have nominated you , those that think you deserved their nomination.
I think that was part of the reason she announced that she'd refused it as it would have been nominated by others who would want to know why she hadn't accepted it.

She could have just quietly refused the honour instead of making sure the public are not only aware of her refusal, but are also left under no illusion that she does actually deserve it but is turning it down on the grounds of moral principle.
