Next Thursday, the Queen Consort will attend a special teddy bears picnic, featuring some of the stars of the Paddington movies. During the event, Camilla will hand out Paddington Bear teddies and other stuffed toys that were left as tributes toQueen Elizabethto a group of kindergarteners.
Ahead of the event, the palace released a set of charming images of the bears having the run of the palace! The teddies are shown sliding down the grand staircase banister and lounging on the velvet-covered chairs. An adorable video also shows them getting an all-important spruce-up ahead of next week’s party.


At the royal tea party, which takes place on November 24, Paddington film cast members Hugh Bonneville and Madeleine Harris (Mr. Brown and Judy Brown respectively) and the daughter of Paddington author Michael Bond Karen Jankel, for whom the original stories were written, will join the party.
