Queen Elizabeth II is set to make an appearance in the third Paddington movie, following her death two years ago.

The longest-reigning monarch died at the age of 96 in September 2022, having ascended to the throne at just 25.

Our late Queen was first associated with the beloved Paddington Bear during the celebrations for her Platinum Jubilee, which saw them form an unlikely bond in a heartwarming sketch.

Then, when she died and as the nation grieved, stuffed Paddington toys appeared everywhere in tribute, with mourners leaving his famous marmalade sandwiches outside the gates of Buckingham Palace.

So, it probably seems fitting that the late royal has a cameo in Paddington in Peru.

The family adventure movie, which opens in cinemas on November 8, also stars Olivia Colman and Ben Whishaw, who, of course, reprises his voice-acting role as the adorable bear.

The plot of the movie centres around Paddington and his adopted family, the Browns, as they visit his aunt Lucy in Peru.

However, in typical Paddington style, circumstances lead them towards misadventures in the mountains and Amazon rainforest.

As for the Queen’s minor appearance, this will be a photograph of her having afternoon tea with Paddington, which was given the green light by the Palace.

Ron Halpern, the head of global productions at StudioCanal, the film’s distributor, said the Queen’s cameo was done ‘with the consent and agreement of the royal household’.

Co-producer Rosie Alison told Variety: ‘[The royal family] were actually very happy for it to happen.

‘But we don’t like to make a big deal of it because Paddington’s obviously a very modest fellow.’

The original sketch between the Queen and Paddington aired in June 2022, just months before she died.

In the week leading up to the milestone, millions hosted street parties up and down the country before tuning in for a special concert on the BBC.

Prince William gave a heartfelt speech, while the likes of Sam Ryder, George Ezra, Sir Rod Stewart, Andrea Bocelli, Alicia Keys, and Diana Ross performed.

Perhaps the most talked about moment, however, came from the pre-recorded comedy segment, which showed the Queen offering tea to Paddington and pulling a marmalade sandwich from her handbag.

Removing his hat from his head, the bear pulled out his own sandwich and professed his love for them, with Her Majesty replying: ‘So do I,’ prising open her bag to say: ‘I keep mine in here.’

Chaos then ensued as Paddington was his usual clumsy self and squirted the cream from his chocolate eclair over a footman.

The segment ended with her showcasing her fun spirit, tapping her teacup to the beat of We Will Rock You before Queen and Adam Lambert opened the show in real time.
