Bond’s daughter, author Karen Jankel, said that the ‘whole family are still buzzing’ after the Queen and Paddington Bear and the bear on screen togeaired, as she shared that her late father would have been ‘chuffed to bits’.
Jankel confirmed that she did know the sketch was going to happen and was forced to keep it a secret – even from some of her family.Asked about when she was first approached, she replied: ‘I couldn’t believe it to be honest with you. I had to pinch myself, it was just such exciting news.
‘And you know, obviously Paddington himself knew about it clearly, because he was the one who went to some tea with the Queen, but the rest of the family didn’t know.’ The author said her father would have ‘absolutely loved’ the sketch, especially the marmalade sandwich part.
