So why is the Schrubmeister so hot to visit merry old England, espeically when it's obvious the people don't want him there?

Okay, so he gets to sleep in Buckingham Palace, and I guess that's a big deal. I think it's maybe because there's like a knighthood or some or other honour from the British realm coming his way. Can't think why the hell else he wants to go where he's obviously not wanted.
