Coronation of Padmé Amidala

The coronation of Padmé Amidala was the ceremony in which the young Padmé Naberrie was formally crowned and invested as Queen of Naboo.

It took place in 33 BBY, the morning after King Ars Veruna abdicated the throne. As the former monarch's abdication was certain well before the official announcement, Amidala's coronation was properly prepared in advance. Sio Bibble, head of the Naboo Royal Advisory Council, had supervised the grooming of the Princess of Theed by a team of royal handmaidens.

The day of the ceremony, one of the handmaidens placed the crown (in fact an elaborate wig adorned with a gold faceframe and the precious Jewel of Zenda) on Amidala's head. The new Queen then delivered an official acceptance speech she had been writing the day before, with the help of her chief advisor.
