Comes home to find the queen sitting at her dining room table, drinking a cup of tea and reading a newspaper. And the bit where her husband tells her, "Dear, this is King George VI". "How do you do, Mrs Logue."

I looked it up, and while Logue didn't get a knighthood, he was made a Companion of the Royal Victorian Order, which is given for personal services to the monarch.
