Perhaps this fun and relatabe image of the Queen will pave the way for a monarchy that encourages the nation through humour.
Judi continued: “Paddington was, of course, hilarious, but the Queen was no straight-guy to his comedy.
“The timing of her appearance was perfect as, once we realized what we were watching, a small question mark grew that she might actually appear on screen and the public erupted in part-delight but part-disbelief when she did.
“Her body language showed a woman who knew how to deliver a comedy line rather, than someone who has just been given a script.”
Indeed, Screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce praised the Queen’s acting skills, calling her part a “brilliantly timed comic performance”.
