It has been announced that the beloved Queen Elizabeth II will be making a special appearance in the highly anticipated sequel, Paddington 3. This comes two years after her passing, making it a bittersweet moment for fans of the longest-reigning monarch.
The late Queen's connection to Paddington Bear dates back to her Platinum Jubilee, where they formed an unexpected bond in a heartwarming sketch. After her passing, mourners paid tribute by leaving stuffed Paddington toys and his famous marmalade sandwiches outside Buckingham Palace.
So it seems fitting that the late royal will have a cameo in the upcoming film, Paddington in Peru. The movie, set to release on November 8, also features Olivia Colman and Ben Whishaw, who returns as the voice of the lovable bear.
The plot of the movie follows Paddington and his adoptive family, the Browns, as they visit his aunt Lucy in Peru. However, as expected with any Paddington adventure, things don't go quite as planned and they find themselves in hilarious mishaps in the mountains and Amazon rainforest.
The Queen's cameo will be a photograph of her enjoying afternoon tea with Paddington, which was approved by the Palace. According to Ron Halpern, the head of global productions at StudioCanal, the film's distributor, the cameo was done with the consent and agreement of the royal household.
Co-producer Rosie Alison also shared that the royal family was happy for the cameo to happen. However, they didn't want to make a big deal out of it because Paddington is a modest fellow.
The original sketch between the Queen and Paddington aired in June 2022, just a few months before her passing. In the week leading up to her Platinum Jubilee, millions of people across the country celebrated with street parties and a special concert on the BBC, where Prince William gave a heartfelt speech and popular artists performed.
One of the most talked-about moments from the celebration was the pre-recorded comedy segment featuring the Queen and Paddington. In the sketch, the Queen offers tea to the bear and even pulls out a marmalade sandwich from her handbag. This leads to chaos when Paddington accidentally squirts cream on a footman.
The Queen then shows off her fun side by tapping her teacup to the beat of "We Will Rock You", which was followed by Queen and Adam Lambert opening the show in real-time.
Paddington in Peru is the third installment in the live-action franchise, with previous films being Paddington and Paddington 2. Along with Jim Broadbent and Julie Walters, Emily Mortimer joins the cast as the new Mary Brown.
Fans can catch Paddington in Peru in theaters on November 8. And if you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, you can share them with the entertainment team at The Agency by emailing, calling, or visiting their Submit Stuff page. They would love to hear from you.
