Queen
Elizabeth
II
left
everyone
delighted
after
she
appeared
in
a
surprise
video
with
the
Paddington
Bear
during
the
Platinum
Jubilee
celebrations
of
her
accession.
The
96-year-old
stole
the
show
after
appearing
in
a
mini-movie
with
the
animated
bear.
The
British
monarch
may
have
skipped
the
star-studded
music
concert
celebrating
her
70
years
on
the
throne,
but
she
was
seen
with
the
bear
at
Buckingham
Palace
for
an
afternoon
tea
party.
In
a
pre-recorded
video,
we
see
the
Queen
showing
off
her
acting
skills
as
she
appeared
alongside
the
CGI
bear
voiced
by
Ben
Whishaw.
The
adorable
short
film
has
now
gone
viral
on
social
media
in
which
the
monarch
is
seen
patiently
tolerating
a
tea-slurping
Paddington
who,
upon
realising
his
mistake,
attempts
to
pour
tea
for
Her
Majesty.
However,
he
then
ends
up
stomping
over
a
pastry
on
the
table
which
covers
up
a
footman
in
cream.
In
order
to
make
amends
for
his
mistake,
Paddington
takes
off
his
red
bucket
hat
to
offer
the
Queen
his
secret
treat
from
a
reserve
supply.
The
video
ends
with
the
Peruvian-born
bear
congratulating
the
Queen
on
her
reign
by
saying,
“Happy
Jubilee,
Ma’am.
And
thank
you.
For
everything.”
This
is
followed
by
her
Majesty
simply
replying,
“That’s
very
kind.”
Meanwhile,
during
their
quick
chat,
Paddington
even
opened
up
about
his
undying
love
for
marmalade
sandwiches
and
offers
the
Queen
one
from
his
stack.
In
return,
the
Queen
takes
out
a
stash
of
marmalade
sandwiches
from
her
black
leather
royal
handbag
and
confides
to
the
Bear:
"I
keep
mine
in
here,
for
later." Take
a
look!
The
aforementioned
video
became
a
showpiece
moment
for
the
Platinum
Jubilee
celebrations
and
was
followed
by
some
emotional
speeches
from
members
of
the
royal
family.
This
was
followed
by
the
audience
being
entertained
by
Diana
Ross,
the
rock
band
Queen,
Lin-Manuel
Miranda,
Sir
Elton
John,
Duran
Duran
and
Alicia
Keys
among
others.
