Watch Queen Elizabeth II’s Return to Acting — With a Fan Favorite Friend
The most precious tea party ever.
Queen Elizabeth II showed off her impressive acting skills along with Paddington Bear in a lovely new video.
In the clip, the monarch and favorite British character meet for afternoon tea at Buckingham Palace in London.
“Perhaps you want a marmalade sandwich”, offered by the CGI bear – voiced by the actor Ben Whishaw– when he pulls one out of his hat. “I always keep one for emergencies.”
“Me too,” the Queen commented, pulling her own sandwich out of her trusty handbag. “I keep mine here, for later.”
This is not His Majesty’s first stab at acting. She previously appeared with Daniel Craig as James Bond in a video played at the opening ceremony of the 2012 London Olympics.
The Queen and Paddington pre-recorded skit was broadcast to attendees at the BBC Party at the Palace concert in front of Buckingham Palace, part of the 96-year-old house Platinum Jubilee celebration.
