No, he's not an aristocrat. He got knighted because he has so much money and owns a tabloid. He's not old money, he's nouveau riche, which is why the Dowager Countess (Maggie Smith) talks down to him. Sir Richard: I'm leaving in the morning. Dowager: Promise?

Not necessarily. He could have received a knighthood from the monarch, a la Sir Paul McCartney.
