Paddington Tea Party Recreated to Mark Queen Elizabeth II Bear Launch
The limited-edition bear is capped at 4,996 and priced at £289, with Steiff and Galerista marking what would have been the queen’s 100th birthday.
- At Newby Hall, Steiff launched a limited-edition Queen Elizabeth teddy bear posed in a recreation of the famous tea party scene with Paddington, mirroring the late Queen's 2022 comedy sketch featuring the Peruvian bear.
- Steiff and partner Galerista created the collectible to mark what would have been Queen Elizabeth's 100th birthday on April 21, limiting production to 4,996 bears priced at £289 each with commemorative embroidery.
- The bear wears the late Queen's recognizable lime green coat, hat, pearl necklace, and handbag. Ian Munro, Steiff's director of international sales, called the Paddington tea party moment "one of the most cherished moments."
- Founded in the German city of Giengen in 1880 by Margarete Steiff, the company has created commemorative bears for major events. The tribute follows the 2022 passing of the Queen, when mourners left Paddington toys outside Buckingham Palace.
- Munro noted the bear honors the dedication, pride, and service Queen Elizabeth represented throughout her life, holding a "very special place in all of our hearts.
