Camilla donates Paddington bears left in tribute to the Queen to children’s charity Barnardo’s | UK News


The Queen Consort has personally donated a box of Paddington teddy bears in the Queen’s honor to a children’s charity.

Camilla arrived at Barnardo’s Bow Kindergarten in east London, accompanied by a member of the Welsh Guards carrying boxes of teddy bears for the children.

The stuffed bears are left outside the royal palaces in memory of Queen Elizabeth II, after her death in September.

Other toy bears will be distributed by Barnardo’s to children nationwide.

The Queen was a patron of the children’s charity from 1983 to 2016, when she granted patronage to Camilla.

Earlier this month, the British Royal Family shared a picture of Camilla with teddy bears having been cleaned up.

On the Royal Family’s Twitter account, they wrote: “The Queen Consort was pictured with some of the 1,000 teddy bears left in memory of Queen Elizabeth, which will now be donated to Barnardos.”

“The bears were washed to look their best before going to their new home.”
