If you're British, you've very likely seen this video of Paddington Bear visiting Queen Elizabeth II at Buckingham Palace.

It was put out just this June to celebrate her 70th anniversary on the throne.

Thank you for having me.

I do hope you're having a lovely jubilee. Tea? Oh, yes, please.

Paddington's the popular children's book character, and he downs the tea without sharing it with the

queen. And then when he realizes how rude that was, he offers her a marmalade sandwich that he

keeps for emergencies in his hat.

But it turns out, the queen also has an emergency marmalade sandwich.

I keep mine in here.

Which she keeps in her iconic purse.

For later.

It's super cute.

And if you had to summarize how it presents the queen in one word, the best word, by far, would be grandmotherly.

She was the nation's grandma.

Sweet, a little mischievous, would definitely give you a cookie, even if your parents said no cookies.

I'm playing this video for you because people in the UK have been coming out in droves

since the queen died last week. As I record this, there's a five-mile-long queue snaking around

central London to see her coffin. And a much larger proportion of the people out that any of us

expected are young. I was curious how young people are processing

this event and how they'd seen Queen Elizabeth when she was alive.

It got me thinking about the fact that for young people, I guess I'm talking about people

under 30, in their memory, the queen has always been an old person, an old woman.
