The popular bear first tells the queen, “thank you very much for everything,” before the beat comes on and both begin tapping the china cups to the tune of We Will Rock You. Nothing you see today is cuter, we guarantee!
The pre-recorded two-and-a-half-minute video was shown at the start of the televised BBC’s Platinum Party at the Palace. Appropriately, the opening act is Queen + Adam Lambert, former American Idol winner.
Royal Family News – The Queen Listens To Queen
The concert is the signature event on the third day of a four day bank holiday in honor of the queen’s 70th year on the throne. The 96-year-old monarch’s Platinum Jubilee proves that she is the most popular royal, with a record-breaking 22,000 people in attendance outside Buckingham Palace. Scheduled performers on the specially built 360-degree stage include Diana Ross.
In the cute clip Queen Elizabeth and the digitally animated character have tea at Buckingham Palace in the footage, and the Queen shows that she also loves marmalade sandwiches by pulling one out of her black handbag. Who knew?

Royal Family News – The Queen Likes Marmalade Sandwiches
Ever modest the Queen replies, “That’s very kind.” It’s not the first time the queen has starred opposite a cultural phenomenon. In 2012 she and Daniel Craig filmed a James Bond skit for the London Olympic opening ceremony. In it, she confers with 007, and later seems to parachute into the stadium (with the help of a body double). According to Buckingham Palace, “the Queen felt the opportunity to invite Paddington to tea was ‘too fun to miss.’”
“Her Majesty is well known for her sense of humour, so it should be no surprise that she decided to take part in tonight’s sketch … While The Queen may not be attending the concert in person, she was very keen that people understood how much it meant to her and that all those watching had a great time.”
