Anne Hathaway is one of those actresses who has a timeless beauty. 2010 she starred in Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland as the White Queen. There have been many versions of the character over the years, depending on the Alice in Wonderland media.
In the Burton film, the White Queen’s name is Mirana of Marmoreal, and she’s the younger sister of Helena Bonham Carter’s murderous Red Queen, whose name is Iracebeth of Crims, and let’s not forget Bloody Big Head.
The sisters do not get along because the Red Queen usurped the throne of Underland, despite the White Queen being the rightful ruler. While not explicitly stated, the White Queen in the Burton film is unmarried and rules alone.
Mirana is also very graceful and is the one who gives Alice the infamous shrinking potion. The Wii game based on the Burton film gives the illusion that the White Queen is much more powerful than the movie lets on. By the film’s end, the two queens reconcile and become friendly.
The White Queen Returns In Alice Through The Looking Glass
Both return for Alice Through The Looking Glass, where they’re at odds again. This time, the Red Queen accuses the White Queen of lying to her. When they were little girls, Mirana had allegedly taken and eaten a tart that had belonged to their mother.
When Wonderland is restored after almost being turned to rust, the White Queen apologises to her sister for what she did as a kid. Why the Red Queen would be upset over this is anyone’s guess, as they were young girls, and the White Queen was clearly rebelling.
