This post is for my friend, who is a big Star Wars fan. To see her blog, click here.
Ok. I know that in my welcome post, which you can view here, I made it very clear that I would only be talking about real royals. But, sometimes you have to bend the rules a little. Of course, Star Wars The Last Jedi is coming out very soon, so I have put together a post about two of the most well know royals in Star Wars, Padme and Leia, and some less commonly known Star Wars royals.
Padme Amidala, played by Natalie Portman, was elected Queen of Naboo when she was just fourteen years old. To compare her to a real monarch, Queen Elizabeth II became the Queen of England when she was twenty five years old, which is a very young age. Unlike the real life monarchs that you can read about on this blog, Padme was only Queen for a few years, and then becomes a senator for Naboo. She succeeded by Queen Jamillia, who is not her daughter, nor do they have any relation.
Another of Naboo's young queens is Queen Apailana, who became Queen at just twelve years old, even young than Padme. She is present at Padme Amidala's funeral as well.
Now, of course, we must talk about Princess Leia, played by the late Carrie Fisher. Princess Leia is not one of the royals from Naboo, even though her mom was. She is actually the Princess of Alderaan, that is, of course, until it gets blown up. I don't exactly know what happens to your royal title when you kingdom gets blown to dust. But besides that, Princess Leia also has a twin her brother, Luke Skywalker.
I hope you enjoyed this article about Star Wars royals!
