Queen Leila: Maleficent
Forgotten Disney character

Queen Leila is a minor character in the film, Maleficent. She was the daughter of King Henry and the wife of Stefan. She was given to Stefan in marriage as part of his reward for his "slaying" of the fairy, Maleficent. About a year or so after the coronation of her and Stefan as the new king and queen, Leila gave birth to their only daughter, Aurora. About fifteen years later, Leila contracted an unknown illness and died. Stefan does not mourn, or show any signs of grief at her death, as he has become one hundred percent focused on hunting down Maleficent and killing her.

Leila is seated on her throne beside her husband King Stefan as the kingdom celebrates the birth of their newborn and only daughter, Princess Aurora. The celebration in the throne room is interrupted by the unexpected arrival of Maleficent, whose appearance visibly worries Queen Leila and angers her husband King Stefan. She watches in horror as the evil fairy Maleficent places a curse upon the baby and the infant Princess Aurora, their newborn and only daughter.

It seems unlikely that Queen Leila knew the true circumstances of Stefan's attack on Maleficent or his treacherous and ruthless nature.

Despite becoming queen, she is credited as Princess Leila.
