Born on 21 April 1926, Queen Elizabeth II was the first child of The Duke and Duchess of York, who later became King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. When she acceded to the throne at just 25 years of age, her life changed dramatically from that of a young wife and mother to the responsibilities of Head of State. Throughout her remarkable reign, she became renowned for her unwavering sense of duty, steadfast leadership, and lifelong commitment to public service. Queen Elizabeth II became the longest-reigning monarch in British history, surpassing the record previously held by her great-great-grandmother, Queen Victoria. Following her peaceful passing at Balmoral on 8 September 2022, she remains deeply loved, respected, and greatly missed around the world.
To honour her extraordinary legacy and commemorate what would have been her 100th birthday, Steiff has created this magnificent limited-edition Teddy bear, crafted from the finest golden mohair. The bear features delicately embroidered paw pads adorned with the royal cypher EIIR and a silhouette of Her Majesty in golden coloured thread, while a beautiful cameo pendant hangs from its elegant double bow. As with all Steiff creations, this exquisite collectible reflects exceptional craftsmanship and quality, making it a treasured keepsake for generations to come. Limited to just 1,926 pieces worldwide, it will come to you boxed with her certificate of authenticity and is a fitting tribute to one of the most beloved monarchs in history.
