Queen Elizabeth II is being honored with a limited edition collector’s bear to mark what would have been her 100th birthday. The Queen Elizabeth II Bear, made from the finest mohair, showcases intricate details characteristic of renowned teddy maker Steiff, such as a jeweled brooch, an adorned hat, and Steiff’s signature ear tag with a brass button.
This special bear is part of the celebrations planned to commemorate the late monarch’s 100th birthday on April 21. Priced at £289, only 4,996 bears will be available globally, paying tribute to the Queen, who lived to the age of 96. Each bear comes with a unique number, presented in a high-quality souvenir bag with a certificate of authenticity. It is a 5-way jointed and fully movable teddy bear, featuring fine colored embroidery on the soles of its feet in honor of Queen Elizabeth II’s milestone.
Dressed in one of Queen Elizabeth II’s iconic lime green coats with a matching hat, the bear replicates the attire she wore at one of her final official engagements. Adorned with classic accessories like a pearl necklace, a crystal brooch, and her unmistakable handbag, the bear captures the essence of the beloved monarch’s style.
In the upcoming week, the royal family will lead commemorations, with King Charles delivering a recorded address celebrating his mother’s life and legacy to the nation and the Commonwealth. King Charles and Queen Camilla, along with other members of the royal family, will welcome representatives from various charities and organizations connected to Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace in her memory.
To honor the late Queen, Royal Mail has released a set of 12 stamps marking the centenary of her birth. The stamps feature images spanning her life from childhood to her reign’s later years. Additionally, a set of four stamps in a miniature sheet highlights her lifelong affection for horses and dogs.
Following the upcoming commemorations, King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to embark on a State Visit to the United States, hosted by President Donald Trump. This visit occurs amidst tensions in the Middle East and during a critical juncture in the UK-US relationship.
