Queen Elizabeth II Cameo in Paddington 3

Queen Elizabeth II will make a posthumous cameo in 'Paddington in Peru,' set to be released in UK theaters on November 8 and in the U.S. on January 17, 2025. The cameo features footage of the late monarch enjoying afternoon tea with Paddington Bear, originally filmed as part of her Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June 2022. The royal family approved the use of this footage, with producer Rosie Alison stating they were 'very happy for it to happen.' Olivia Colman will also star in the film, reprising her role as the Reverend Mother. The film pays homage to the Queen's playful engagement with pop culture, including her memorable appearance in a James Bond sketch during the London Olympics in 2012. This tribute comes as a touching reminder of her legacy, especially given the fondness for Paddington that resonated with many during her reign.
