If Merida's brothers looked around 18 to you, doesn't that mean they were around the right age? Because they didn't look around 3 in the Disney film.

By the way, is Merida a queen regent? They looked like a foot tall in the movie, I don't think they were around 8.

And Merida isn't a queen at all. Fergus died but Elinor is alive, so Elinor is the one "true and rightful queen", to quote Merida. I don't know how Elinor could be exiled by the clans from her own home, but Merida obviously knows where she is, because she tells her brothers Elinor will be very happy to see them.

And Emma says the brothers are with Elinor, so she's probably in DunBroch. TL;DR, Elinor is alive so she is the Queen.

And yes, I think Elinor is a queen regnant (queen in her own right). She's no longer a queen consort, being a widow, and she'd only be a queen regent if Harris, Hubert or Hamish were the King.
