Queen Elizabeth II, 96, celebrated her 70th year on the throne earlier this year as the first British monarch to hold a platinum jubilee celebration. During the Firm’s festivities, Her Majesty released a short video featuring Michael Bond’s fictional Peruvian bear Paddington.
The clip, which has been viewed more than five million times on the Royal Family’s YouTube channel, shows the Queen having a cup of tea with the marmalade-loving, duffle-coat-wearing bear.
Reflecting on the iconic anniversary moment, the royal family’s Twitter account captioned yesterday’s message: “Sandwich Ma’amalade, Your Majesty?
“Exactly 70 days ago today, The Queen and Paddington Bear got the Platinum Party at the Palace rocking.”
However, fans of the royal family took to the comment section to share their thoughts at the moment.
