King Charles will have ‘very best security’ for US state visit after Trump dinner
Queen Camilla to give missing Winnie-the-Pooh stuffed toy to New York library during royal US state visit
Queen Camilla will give a stuffed toy to a library during the royal US visit to complete its collection.
On Camilla’s itinerary is a visit to the New York Public Library, where she will view its permanent Treasures collection.
Roo, a character from Winnie-the-Pooh, has been specially created by a British teddy bear maker for the New York Public Library, which will receive the gift from the Queen.
This is home to the teddy bears that belonged to Christopher Robin, son of Winnie-the-Pooh creator A A Milne, and which are believed to have inspired the stories first published a century ago, in 1926.
The collection on display currently includes Winnie, Tigger, Piglet, Kanga and Eeyore.
It is missing the original baby kangaroo toy – Roo – which was lost in an apple orchard in the 1930s.
