Mike Tindall has weighed
in on the Queen’s comedy sketch with Paddington Bear, saying she
absolutely “nailed it”.
The monarch, 96, took part in
an amusing and endearing sketch with the lovable children’s character in a
video recorded for the Party at the Palace concert.
The clip saw the Queen
enjoy a cream tea with Paddington at her home, Buckingham Palace, and the
two national treasures even bonded over their love of marmalade sandwiches.
“I think she’s officially
now a qualified actor,” Mike said on his podcast The Good, The Bad
and The Rugby, adding that his wife Zara’s maternal grandmother was “bang
on” with her performance. “I’ve always said she was funny but she
nailed it,” he added.
Retired rugby star Mike also
spoke about his highlight of the Jubilee bank holiday weekend –
a private lunch for the cousins and their children after Thursday’s
Trooping the Colour.

While Prince William, Kate,
Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, as well as Lady Louise
Windsor and James, Viscount Severn, were among those who took part in the
carriage procession, the majority of the royal family watched the flypast and
military parade from indoors.
These included Mike, Zara and
their children, as well as Prince Harry and Meghan, Princess Beatrice and her
husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi, and Princess Eugenie, her husband Jack
Brooksbank and their son August. Peter Phillips’ children Savannah and Isla
were also spotted at Trooping the Colour.
