A small royal admirer rose up on her father’s shoulders as she presented a Paddington Bear toy to the newly appointed Prince of Wales as throngs gathered at Windsor Castle to mourn the Queen.
The reconciliation between Prince William and his wife, the Princess of Wales, as well as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, has delighted royal fans as they strive to put the past behind them.
The two spouses inspected the sea of flower tributes placed outside the gates of the royal estate in honor of the much-beloved king during a forty-minute walkabout.
Experts anticipate that this event could mark a turning point in the strained relationship between the newly-titled Waleses and the Sussexes, who have been at odds since Harry and Meghan’s humiliating interviews.
As well-wishers lined up to pay tribute to the Queen, a young girl presented Prince William with a Paddington bear. Following their humorous sketch for the Platinum Jubilee just a few months ago, the Peruvian bear has become closely linked with the Queen.
Since Her Majesty’s passing, Britons have reflected on the highlights of her life, and this little sketch has been acclaimed as one of the numerous instances in which she displayed her lighter side.
As the girl hands the Prince of Wales the bear, he is heard exclaiming, “That is really adorable.” Thank you a great deal.
This was the emotional moment when a young girl presented a Paddington Bear toy to Prince William. After their humorous sketch for the Platinum Jubilee just a few short months ago, the bear has become closely linked with the Queen.
Prince William is heard questioning if he should place it among the other tributes or keep it for himself. He decides to give it to Prince George, his eldest son.
Prince William then points to the other memorial monuments and asks the family where he should place his new present. He can be heard saying, “Is this item going there, or do you want me to keep it?”
The young royal admirer thinks that William should keep the gift, despite her father’s suggestion that he give it to his children.
This is precisely what the Prince of Wales chose to do. In a touching moment, he informs the young woman that he intends to give it to his eldest son.
Prince William can be heard stating, “I could give it to George, thank you very much.”

Experts think this could be a turning point in the strained relationship between the newly-titled Waleses and the Sussexes (seen here in 2020), who have been at odds after a number of scathing interviews by Harry and Meghan about the royals.
The Prince and Princess of Wales admire the tributes left for Queen Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle following her death.
The firstborn child of Kate and William, Prince George, is now second in line to the throne. Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, their other two children, are now third and fourth in line.
The three youngsters began attending Lambrook, their new £50,000-per-year school, the day before the Queen’s passing.
Saturday, the Waleses relocated to the four-bedroom Adelaide Cottage in Windsor to be closer to the new school in Ascot.
They are establishing a new life in the country, away from the goldfish bowl of Kensington Palace, in an effort to put their children first and allow them more freedom.
Kate remained with the children at Windsor Castle as other family members raced to the Queen’s bedside in Balmoral, where she died peacefully at the age of 96.
But together with her husband, Harry, and Meghan, they set aside their differences to accompany King Charles III on a walkabout about the castle, after Prince William extended a “11th-hour” olive branch to the Sussexes following a phone call with the new monarch.
It follows the new King’s declaration of “love” for Harry and Meghan in his first address to the nation.
Prince William paid tribute to his late grandmother for the first time in public since her passing yesterday. She was at my side during my most joyful times. And she was by my side during the most difficult times of my life,’ he remarked.
