Didn't see this particular film, but from what I have seen/read, Mr. Harrison it appears was poorly treated, or put bluntly, screwed over by those in power.
It did seem that King George sort of "put the thing to rights", in that he ordered payment to Harrison, if I understood correctly. Better late than never, though it remains that Harrison, despite his efforts and contributions, was poorly treated by his country, his reward coming near the end of his life.
