Alfred Hitchcock was knighted just a few months before his death in 1980. When asked by an interviewer why he thought it took so long for HRM to get round to knighting him, Hitchcock answered, ‘I suppose it was carelessness.’ This caused a minor uproar, with some people saying he was being disrespectful to the Queen and demanded that Hitchcock apologize.
His entire apology was this: ‘I’m terribly, terribly sorry that Her Majesty has gotten so terribly, terribly careless.’
