Queen - hand puppet for babies by Sterntaler

Where the king decides, the queen in fairy tales often has a say too. With the queen hand puppet by Sterntaler, she gets that say in play as well. She wears a golden yellow crown and a red coat.

The king announces and commands, but in fairy tales the queen often turns out to be the wiser of the two. A well-known example is the Grimm tale ‘The Peasant's Wise Daughter’. The girl solves the king's riddle and becomes queen as a result. Later she secretly advises a farmer wronged by the king's unjust ruling how to make the king see sense. So the queen meets the ruler as an equal rather than simply carrying out his orders.

Did you know that queens in European history repeatedly ran the government themselves? Such a regency usually came about when the king was still a minor, seriously ill or away for a long time. It was then often the queen mother or the queen herself who conducted the affairs of state in his place.
