In Minions, what honor does Queen Elizabeth II give Kevin?

In Minions, Queen Elizabeth II gives Kevin a knighthood.

Kevin is one of the three central Minions who travel to 1960s England in search of a new villainous leader. During the chaos surrounding Scarlet Overkill’s attempt to seize the British crown, Kevin and his friends help save London and restore the Queen to power.

After the crisis, Queen Elizabeth II rewards the trio individually. Bob receives a tiny crown for his teddy bear, Tim, while Stuart gets an electric guitar. Kevin, the tallest and leader-like member of the group, is awarded a knighthood. The gag turns his informal leadership role into an absurdly formal British honor.

The scene is fictional and comedic rather than a depiction of a real royal ceremony. Jennifer Saunders voices Queen Elizabeth II in the film. Viewers sometimes swap Kevin’s reward with Bob’s tiny crown or Stuart’s guitar because all three prizes are presented together.
