LONDON, ENGLAND: The late Queen Elizabeth II is set to make a surprising cameo in the Hollywood blockbuster 'Paddington in Peru', two years after her death, as the film is set to release on Friday, November 8, after a seven-year wait from the last sequel.

Queen Elizabeth II to make shocking cameo in 'Paddington in Peru'

Queen Elizabeth II sat down with a version of Paddington for tea and a marmalade sandwich for a skit that was shot for her 2022 Platinum Jubilee celebrations. A part of the footage of her with the CGI bear will make up for her cameo in 'Paddington 3', starring 'The Crown' actress Olivia Colman.

The makers of the film needed approval from Buckingham Palace to use the Paddington footage featuring the Queen, and the producer of 'Paddington 3' said the royal family was "very happy for it to happen", per the outlet.



 

Ron Halpern, head of global productions at Studiocanal, added to Variety that its use came "with the consent and agreement of the royal household".

Producer Rosie Alison said, "(The royal family) were actually very happy for it to happen. But we don’t like to make a big deal of it, because Paddington’s obviously a very modest fellow."

Olivia Colman says she 'signed without hesitation' to appear in Paddington 3

Olivia Colman said she 'signed without hesitation' to appear in 'Paddington 3' and would return to the franchise to play nun the Reverend Mother.



 

She said, "Paddington is just the best person in the whole wide world. Imagine if everyone was like Paddington – wouldn’t that be lovely?"

The film will follow the journey of the iconic bear, which is animated and voiced by actor Ben Whishaw, 44, who travels abroad to visit Aunt Lucy in his homeland of Peru.

A former adviser to Elizabeth II said, "Had she lived another year, he would have been out. It was her plan to move him out, to end the lease for the Sussexes at Frogmore Cottage and to move Andrew in there. It was mainly a money thing, as she could see it was becoming unsustainable."

An updated edition of Hardman's best-selling biography 'Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story', which was published earlier in 2024, is now being brought out in hardback with extra content and three new chapters packed with interesting detail.
