'Peppa Pig' Episode Stars The Queen

“Peppa Pig” will pay homage to the Diamond Jubilee (a series of events in the U.K. celebrating 60 years of The Queen’s reign) later this year with a special episode starring Her Majesty the Queen. It will mark the first time in the show’s history that a human character will be featured in the series and a host of marketing activity is planned to run around the broadcast to get children involved with the Jubilee celebrations. The U.K. television premiere of “The Queen” is scheduled for June 4 Channel 5’s milkshake! Prior to the television broadcast, “The Queen” will also be released on DVD May 21, and a book based on the episode, entitled Peppa Meets the Queen, was released by Ladybird Books Thursday.
