Steiff Queen Memorial Bear, 53 cm

Steiff Queen Elizabeth II Memorial teddy bear is a limited edition of only 214 pieces worldwide. The reason that Steiff has chosen to make only 214 pieces as this number represents the date of Her Majesty's birthday, which was the 21st day of April.

This stunningly beautiful bear is made from the finest dense pale white mohair and is 5 way jointed, which means you can move her head, arms, and legs. She has the famous Steiff long arms and her paw pads are made from matching felt - when you look at her paw pads you will see they are beautifully detail embroidered in gold thread. One says '1926 - 2022' and the other has the Mer Majesty the Queen's cypher.

This Bear has an adorable face and wears the famous Steiff white label and gold plated button in the ear.

She has bright eyes and a very special nose and mouth which are hand embroidered with a very special diagonal single thread on each side which makes the most lovely smiling face.

Her Majesty is wearing a special royal tiara which has been made from imitation diamond crystals and pearls. She is wearing a special sash together with the Most Noble Order of the Garter. King Edward III in 1348 founded the Most Noble Order of the Garter which is Britain's oldest order of chivalry. Its phrase of 'honi soit qui mal y pense' means 'shame on him who thinks evil of it - which is the motto of the Order.
To finish off this majestical scene her Majesty is wearing two portaritures surrounded by imitation diamonds.

The top ribbon is of George VI (her father).
The bottom blue ribbon is a picture of George V (her grandfather).
