As the beloved bear showed Her Majesty a sandwich he had hidden underneath his hat, The Queen prised open her bag and quipped: “I keep mine in here, for later."
And her great-grandchildren were left in stitches, grinning with delight as their gan-gan pulled out her own marmalade sandwich.
The delighted faces were captured on camera with the photo shared on Twitter, where royal fans were quick to gush over the siblings.
One wrote: “By the look on Charlotte's face she’s gonna be checking that bag next time ❤️😂”

Her Majesty, 96, surprised viewers with the warm and hilarious cream tea at Buckingham Palace in honour of her 70 years of service.
