John Lewis makes Coronation Bear announcement after royal teddy flies off shelves

John Lewis has announced their popular Coronation Lewis Bear is back in stock. The teddy, which is a gorgeous keepsake of the momentous occasion, flew off the shelves when it first landed at the store.

Last week John Lewis and Waitrose said the plush toy was the most popular teddy bear they'd ever stocked. On social media, they promised shoppers: "Our Coronation Lewis Bear is our most popular teddy bear ever! He is back in Waitrose shops this week and more stock will be landing into John Lewis shops early next week, but you'll have to be quick to get your claws on one."

And now the bear has returned, with John Lewis informing their one million Instagram followers: "He’s back. Our exclusive Coronation Lewis Bear is back in stock. Get your paws on one now while stocks last."

The medium sized coronation-themed bear costs £15 and is available to buy online at John Lewis. A description reads: "Complete your celebrations with Coronation Lewis Bear who is sure to be adored by little and big kids alike. A commemorative keepsake marking the coronation of King Charles III."

And John Lewis isn't the only one marking the occasion with memorabilia. Supermarket Aldi has given their famous mascot, Kevin the Carrot, a royal makeover.

Aldi's King of Veg and his Queen landed in stores on April 20 with a price tag of just £3.99. However, as with all Aldi Specialbuys once they are gone they are gone, as the limited-edition collection is only available until stocks last so you should check with your local branch before heading there.

M&S has also launched a celebration bear called the popular Coronation Spencer Bear Soft Toy, £15. The teddy features a crown on his head and a Union Jack design on his paws, but sadly at the time of writing the product was out of stock online.

Shoppers can also still get their hands on the Sainsbury's King's Coronation 2023 Bear, £8, and the King's Coronation Teddy Bear, £6, in B&M.
