Queen Elizabeth II

In the 2012 Olympic James Bond sketch and the recent tea time scene with Paddington Bear, she insisted on being in on the fun as herself.

In the wake of Queen Elizabeth's death, Frank Cottrell-Boyce shared that it was the late monarch's idea to participate in the closing scene of the London Olympics.

A member of the team was sent to Buckingham Palace to take photos of Queen Elizabeth's ceremony outfit and other images for set building when they were told she wanted to star in the skit herself.

The queen's hairdresser asked why he was doing all this. We said that we could make it look like the queen. He says that she said that the queen wanted to do it. She wanted to be a part of the sketch.

She said good evening to Mister Bond. This line was one of her ideas. He says that on the day of the filming, she told Danny that she wanted to have a line. She was the one who got that. There wasn't a line in the script.

In June, she shared a tea time scene with Paddington Bear, where the two got to know each other over marmalade sandwiches.

She had more lines in the sketch because it was cheaper to film her. She did that well and enjoyed it. It wasn't simple. It is an amazing performance and a brilliantly timed comic performance.

Paddington Bear paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth's death by sharing a message.

In the skit, Padding wished Queen Elizabeth a happy birthday. Thank you, too. It's for everything. She says that is very kind.

The Paddington Bear account thanked Ma'am for everything after she died.
