As Joe Biden completes his last few weeks in the White House, he has honored 19 recipients, both alive and dead, with the Presidential Medal of Freedom - and some of his picks have ruffled feathers.

The Presidential Medal of Freedom is the US' highest civilian honor that is presented to individuals who make 'exemplary contributions to the prosperity, values, or security of the United States' and beyond, according to the White House.

Among the list of recipients that received the honor on Saturday are Hillary Clinton, former Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy, fashionista and Vogue head Anna Wintour, designer Ralph Lauren, and scientist Jane Goodall, among others.

'President Biden believes great leaders keep the faith, give everyone a fair shot, and put decency above all else,' a press release read.

'These nineteen individuals are great leaders who have made America and the world a better place. They are great leaders because they are good people who have made extraordinary contributions to their country and the world.'

Here is the full list of this year's Presidential Metal of Freedom recipients.

Hillary Clinton

Hillary Clinton, 77, served alongside Biden under the Barack Obama Administration, where she served as the secretary of state while Biden was VP from 2009 to 2013.

The former first lady also served as a senator for New York from 2001 to 2009. She was the first first lady to be elected to the Senate.

The mother-of-one and Yale graduate was also the first woman to ever be nominated for president by a major US political party.

Biden chose Clinton for her decades of public service, including tirelessly advocating for women's rights.
