You didn’t think that he would miss all of the celebrations, now did you? Paddington Bear made a surprise appearance this weekend at Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations. Here’s what you need to know.
Showing off her good sense of humor, Queen Elizabeth managed to delight millions of viewers during her Platinum Jubilee celebrations by appearing in a surprise comic sketch with Paddington Bear on Saturday night, revealing she loves marmalade sandwiches, and keeps an emergency stash in her famous handbag.
Paddington Bear Makes A Surprise Appearance At Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee Celebrations
The monarch and the famous bear met for a chaotic cream tea at Buckingham Palace in a secretly pre-recorded sequence played at the start of the BBC’s televised Platinum Party at the Palace concert. They were pictured sitting opposite each other in ornate chairs at a table, laid for afternoon tea, covered with a white linen cloth in an opulent room.
Paddington told his host how he ensured he always had his favorite treat on him just in case, lifting up his red hat to reveal his snack. Queen Elizabeth responded by saying: “So do I.”
She then opened her bag and declared: “I keep mine in here” – showing her very own ready-made supply of the bread and orange preserve staple. “For later,” she added.
If that weren’t enough, Paddington also raised eyebrows from a Buckingham Palace footman by gulping down his tea from the spout of the teapot, and leaving none left for the amused Queen Elizabeth, who declared: “Never mind.”
However, the bear congratulated the monarch on her reign of 70 years, saying: “Happy Jubilee Ma’am. And thank you. For everything.” Queen Elizabeth replied: “That’s very kind.”
The unlikely duo then tapped out the beat of We Will Rock You – on china teacups, using silver spoons – to get the concert under way at Buckingham Palace Garden for opening act Queen + Adam Lambert. Other acts on the bill included Diana Ross, Elton John, Rod Stewart, Duran Duran and Alicia Keys.
