Why I don't think Padme will still be Queen.
If she is still Queen and she marries Anakin, that would make Anakin Skywalker King of Naboo. Lucas won't want to complicate thing even further by introducing this storyline.

Just because she's Queen doesn't mean that he will become King.

It will. Leia became a Princess because of who her adopted father was. It would be the same with Anakin.

Leia was also a princess because of her real mother.

I don't think what necessarily goes on Alderaan goes for Naboo, they are two different ruling systems. Anyway..Look at the British Monarchy (and several others) even though they are inherited they don't even always have a King and Queen. Prince Philip wasn't crowned king because that would be looked as trying to be equal to the monarch. The same rules don't apply to prince and princesses because that doesn't threaten the monarch's title. Anakin may end up with some Prince consort title...maybe not. Another factor you have to look at is the fact that it's an elected title and he might be entitled to nothing as far as titles and such.

O.K. I submit. If padme isn't Queen then what do you think she will be doing in Ep2? She should still be important to the Republic somehow.

Re: why I dont think padme will still be queen
Just trust me on this...it's very unlikely that Anakin's going to be King. Also, based on the Queen Jamillia information I think we might see a new monarch be elected. Maybe Padme has served her time in the office, or maybe is forced out by Palpatine...or maybe she abdicates the throne.

Re: why I dont think padme will still be queen
Maybe she is kicked off the throne by the bad guys(whoever they are). I don't think the Queen Jamillia name has to be related to Naboo. Does Alderaan have a monarchy? She could be their Queen.

Re: why I dont think padme will still be queen
I'm guessing it's a principality...I don't remember reading anything other than that Bail Organa is a prince and he's the ruler of the planet...If that's the case then Jamillia isn't from Alderaan...
I really think that either Amidala isn't reelected or that she gives up the throne, based on the new information about the town square in Seville and the 50 extras.

Re: why I dont think padme will still be queen
TF.N just posted this spy report about Amidala not being queen in EP2, thought it's not clear if this change occurs before the movie's timeframe or during...
------SPOILER-------
This is pretty big, so you might want to check withyour spies. Anyway, someone who had a chance to see the set in Caserta called me yesterday, saying that in the scenes filmed there Padmè/Amidala/Natalie Portman is NOT the Queen: Ayesha Dharker is the Queen of the Naboo in Episode II, then! Still, we don't know when all of this change is going to happen during the movie. At the beginning I had some doubts about this, but I checked other possible informants and I found confirmations to all of this.
----------------
Looks like we're on the right track...

Re: why I dont think padme will still be queen
Jeesh...I can't believe you just lectured me 
Of course TFN isn't always accurate, but this sounds reasonable to me. The scenes with her handmaidens could simply precede her turning her political postion over to Jamillia (if that's who Dharker is playing). The part that nobody has a clue about but everyone wants to speculate on is why she's no longer queen.
Another question-
If the Monarchy is an elected office with set terms why would the Naboo elect a child, no matter how smart, to office. If it was a lifelong position I could almost understand it then because it would almost imply that there's so much to learn that they feel that in some ways a child who is elected and grows into the role might do a better job...With a set term of office it would seem like someone who understood more going in would do a better job in a shorter amount of time.
What do you think? Am I thinking about this too much?

Re: why I dont think padme will still be queen
I think she will renounce her title as Queen to go off with Anakin. She will feel she has fullfilled her role as Queen by having the Trade Federations occupation removed.
Considering that EII is supposed to be a love story, she might be forced into giving up her postition as Queen for marrying/being involved with someone who is not from Naboo. Without much background information we don't really know the reason she was made Queen. With the rumors of her family being involved in EII maybe we will find out why she was made Queen. We will undoubtably find out why she is no longer holding the position.

Re: why I dont think padme will still be queen
I think it will be her choice to go. She saved Naboo so I don't think that the Naboo people are going to turn against her. Just look at how many were at the celebration at the end of TPM.
She could quit to take another job, just like Palpatine did when he became Chancellor.
The Queen Jamillia thing is interesting and I think she will be an Evil Queen and work alongside Palpatine. Maybe it was him who got her elected. Lucas won't introduce this new character if she is the same as Amidala. What would be the point?

Re: why I dont think padme will still be queen
Good point KJ. Palpatine will definetly need someone on his side to help him with his rise to power. By manipulating the system to have his choice of Queen receive the position helps move the story along. Amidala would most likely soon realize his motives and attempt to get in the way.

Re: why I dont think padme will still be queen
Okay..this is going to sound weird...but what the hell...I'm weird.. ..
Has anyone considerd that maybe Padme wasn't the Queen??
Why go through all that just to denounce your thrown???
For some reason..knowing Lucas...Padme is really Padme...Not Amidala/Padme...So Many rumors..I just get the feeling that the whole time we saw Amidala..we were seeing Amidala..not Padme...I think the decoy business was to throw us off track..But then again..who am I..George Lucas??

Re: why I dont think padme will still be queen
Yep...that's weird 
I don't think GL would ever to something that complicated. It would totally confuse anyone who wasn't a avid fan...especially a kid. Since the throne is electorial then it's not unlikely that she simply served her term in office or resigned...It's not too far fetched...even in real life think about how King Edward VIII gave up the throne to marry Wallis Simpson (and that was a lifetime of training). Stuff like that happens all the time...
