Padmé appeared pregnant at her funeral to deceive Darth Vader and Emperor Palpatine into believing the twins, Luke and Leia, died with her, hiding them from the Empire as per Yoda's instructions to protect the future Jedi Order. Her body was prepared by Bail Organa's people to show a lingering pregnancy bump, a deliberate act to sell the story that she and her child(ren) perished together, ensuring the children's safety.
She was pregnant during Episode 3. She was made up to look like she died while still pregnant to give the impression to Darth Vader that he had no surviving children, allowing them to hide for 20 years.
So did she hide her entire pregnancy or just the fact that Anakin was the father? Yeah, Padmé kept her marriage secret in the first place too, since marrying a Jedi against their code would make for a huge scandal in the Senate. She carefully selected her wardrobe to disguise her pregnancy.
After her death, Amidala's body held the japor snippet during her funeral procession, and was buried alongside her body in a privately owned mausoleum. During the Galactic Civil War, a band of criminals stole all the stock of japor snippet necklaces and the carving tools from a japor carver on Tatooine.
Padmé didn't wear bras (or underwear) in Star Wars because director George Lucas famously told Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia) there was "no underwear in space," a rule extended to other characters like Padmé, suggesting a sci-fi lack of undergarments for comfort or visual reasons, though Carrie Fisher found the rule odd and compared it to Padmé's frequent costume changes, as cited in Wookieepedia and Reddit. While Leia famously went braless under her white robes (using gaffer tape instead), Padmé's elaborate outfits often made bras impractical or unnecessary for the desired look.
Padmé was elected Queen of Naboo at 14 because Naboo valued youthful, "pure" leadership, and she was already a respected public servant groomed for duty, but it was also heavily manipulated by Senator Palpatine, who pushed for her, removed her competitor, and saw her as an easily controlled figurehead to advance his own power. Naboo's system, a democracy with elected monarchs, often chose young leaders for fresh perspectives, and Padmé's intelligence and dedication made her a prime candidate.
Anakin's indignant rage and feeling of betrayal fuelled that moment of violence against Padme. You can even look at 'dark side of the force' as a metaphor for alcohol if you wanted to transplant the scene into our dour reality. The dark side didn't make him hurt Padme. He did.
Surprisingly, Vader had no idea that Leia was, in fact, his daughter. Despite his interrogation of Leia, the Sith Lord still hadn't discovered that he was related to the princess. In contrast, Vader sensed his connection to Luke Skywalker almost immediately.
It's not made clear in the movies whether anybody knows she's pregnant. Obi Wan says I'm so sorry when he figures out the baby is Anakin's, so assuming it's common knowledge, Palpatine would immediately know it's Anakin's.
The saddest Star Wars deaths often involve poignant sacrifice, broken relationships, or innocent lives lost, with fan favorites including Kanan Jarrus (heroic sacrifice for his family), Duchess Satine (Obi-Wan's lost love, brutally killed by Maul), Clone Trooper 99 (innocent loyalty and tragic end), Tech (sacrifice for his squad), Padmé Amidala (heartbreak and loss of hope), and Han Solo (fatherly tragedy). These deaths resonate due to their emotional impact, the characters' potential, or the deep impact on other heroes.
That means that by the time anything romantic actually mutually developed between the two, Anakin was 19 and Padme was 24.
Padmé Amidala died from a combination of immense emotional trauma, specifically a "broken heart" after Anakin's fall to the dark side, and physical exhaustion from childbirth, as confirmed by creator George Lucas who stated she "lost the will to live" after seeing her husband become Darth Vader. While medical droids found her physically healthy, her spirit was crushed by Anakin's betrayal and transformation, leading to her death during childbirth, with some theories suggesting Sith magic may have also played a role in siphoning her life force to save Vader.
Hermione Granger became pregnant with her and Ron Weasley's first child and only daughter, Rose Granger-Weasley, after the Second Wizarding War and sometime in or around 2005. Rose inherited her father's red hair.
Keira Knightly had no idea who she played in the Star Wars franchise. The actress played the part of Sabé in 1999's The Phantom Menace when she was 12 years-old. The character is a very important handmaiden and body double for Natalie Portman's Queen Padmé Amidala.
Jenner was only 20 years old when Stormi was born, but becoming a mom was something she felt she was always meant to do. “I used to have dreams, even at a young age, of having kids, like actual dreams,” she told James Charles in a joint YouTube video in October 2018.
No, Darth Plagueis is not Anakin Skywalker's biological father, but there's a strong theory (especially in Star Wars Legends and early drafts) that his experiments with midi-chlorians to create life led the Force itself to create Anakin, the Chosen One, as a reaction, making Plagueis the "unintentional father" of the prophecy. In current canon, Plagueis is a legend Palpatine uses to lure Anakin, and the exact nature of Anakin's conception by the Force remains a mystery, though he had no conventional father.
Vader's betrayal cut deep, as he had been responsible for the destruction of her home planet, Alderaan, and the deaths of countless innocent people, including her adoptive parents. The revelation that Vader was her father must have been utterly shattering for Leia.

Anakin Skywalker, one of the main characters in the "Star Wars" films, meets the criteria for borderline personality disorder (BPD).
In the book, the two have an exchange that is clearly and unambiguously queer when Kaeden reveals she wants to kiss Ahsoka. The passage reads: "'I could kiss you. ' Ahsoka stopped in her tracks.
After a lightsaber battle with his former mentor Obi-Wan Kenobi, Vader is severely injured and is transformed into a cyborg. He serves Palpatine for over two decades, hunting down the remaining Jedi and attempting to crush the Rebel Alliance.
Queen Jamillia served as the successor of Queen Amidala as the elected sovereign of Naboo. It was Jamillia that convinced Padme Amidala to serve as senator for the system, and spoke with Padme about the political realities of war as the Senator hid on Naboo just prior to the outbreak of the Clone Wars.
