Isn't it speculative to assume that the woman behind the guards is Peach's mother? There's nothing in the text that mentions her mother and it states that the Mushroom Kingdom is ruled by the king and his daughter, likely showing the absence of a queen. Furthermore, the woman is situated behind the guards as if she is not allowed direct contact. Finally, she does not wear a crown unlike the king and Peach. It's far more likely that she is just a noblewoman or some other non-royal mushroom person.--Platform (talk) 05:10, June 7, 2023 (EDT)


 * No, the lady next to the king in that picture is the queen: she wears a crown, her clothing are different enough from Peach's (see the veil around the head that Peach doesn't wear and the very distinct crown/tiara) so you can't use a "it's a simple miscoloration error" excuse. The strongest hint was also how Peach and the King have the same exact Toad-esque designs in the manga (Peach has also the same colors she sports in "How to win", in the cover: it is intentional) and so does the queen (again, see the veil) except for the slimmer look. 05:29, June 21, 2023 (EDT)
