Queen Elizabeth’s beloved Launer handbags saw her through everything from major royal events to everyday moments, and her trusty bag even came along for tea with none other than Paddington Bear. During her 2022 Platinum Jubilee, the late monarch famously shared marmalade sandwiches in a skit with Paddington, and a tidbit from a new royal book reveals the planning behind the adorable video.
In an excerpt from Robert Hardman’s Elizabeth II: In Private. In Public. Her Story published in the Daily Mail, the author shares the behind-the-scenes details of the memorable skit. Royal fans were surprised with the video during the Platinum Jubilee concert in June 2022, and Hardman wrote the late Queen’s staff members were heavily involved in the production.
