Adorable Full Video: Queen Elizabeth & Paddington Bear - #PlatinumJubilee #Jubilee_Pageant! #HM70

An absolutely delightful surprise for the Queen’s Jubilee: A starring role with Paddington Bear! "The Queen took the world by surprise on Saturday as she shared afternoon tea with Paddington Bear, starring on-screen with her own marmalade sandwiches and lighting up the Platinum Jubilee celebrations as only she can. The monarch delighted an audience of millions around the world by inviting the animated bear for tea at Windsor Castle in a top-secret sequence in honour of the Jubilee. The sketch was a surprise even to some of her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren watching in the audience and at home. She spent around half a day filming at Windsor Castle, with palace aides declining to ruin the magic by explaining how she managed to converse with the fictional bear. It was the result of months of planning, with Jubilee organizers keeping the surprise up their sleeves as the crowning moment of the Saturday night celebrations. The sketch, which opened the BBC’s Platinum Party at the Palace, reveals the Queen inviting Paddington Bear for a “warm and hilarious” cream tea, which goes wrong almost immediately." https://www.telegraph.co.uk/royal-family/2022/06/04/queens-jubilee-surprise-starring-role-paddington-bear-really/
