Limited-edition Queen Elizabeth bear recreates iconic outfit for late monarch’s 100th birthday

A limited-edition Queen Elizabeth II bear has been unveiled, honouring what would have been the late monarch’s 100th birthday on 21 April 2026.

Teddy bear maker Steiff recreated the iconic tea party scene with Paddington Bear at Newby Hall that was shown during the Platinum Jubilee in 2022.

The bear wears one of the late Queen’s most iconic Royal outfits, consisting of a lime green coat with a matching hat, complete with a pearl necklace and handbag.

Limited to 4,996 pieces, a nod to her 96 years of life, each bear is individually numbered, has coloured embroidery on its feet, and costs £289.
