During the telecast of the concert accompanying Queen Elizabeth's platinum jubilee celebrations, viewers were treated to a short film in which the queen tried out her comedy acting chops, playing off every Brit's favorite teddy bear- Paddington Bear! The two are bonding over a cup of tea. One minute of the short was released to the public, in which we learn the answer to that age-old question- what does the queen keep in her purse? The charming vignette ends with a segue into Queen's "We Will Rock You."
The film was a surprise to the audience, as it was recorded much earlier and kept under wraps. Queen Elizabeth did not attend the concert herself due to health concerns, but everyone else was sure she was there in spirit. Read more about this delightful short at Deadline.
