Best Answer

The Queen of Hearts is a playing card character. as far as I know she is not based on any real, regnant monarch, past or present- one of the Navarre ( French) Queens- maybe Margaret ( or Margot) of Navarre, was given this nickname. I have heard it argued the somewhat dark and sinister Queen of Spades ( and espada means Sword in Spanish, not a type of shovel) may have been based on either an anonymous Female Knight or possibly the Black Madonna of Czestochowa ( pronounced Chest- a Hova). Holy Cow!

Are Queen of Hearts and Red Queen the same people in Alice in Wonderland?

No, the Queen of Hearts and the Red Queen are two different people. The Queen of Hearts originally appears in Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and is a playing card which has come to life. The Red Queen is a chess piece come to life who appears in Through the Looking Glass which is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland.Confusion arises because film adaptations tend to combine the two characters into one. Disney's 1951 animated film gave the Queen of Hearts lines originally said by the Red Queen and Tim Burton's 2010 movie features the Red Queen but gives her many of the lines and characteristics of the Queen of Hearts.
