Oh, that's not such a big deal. Throughout history there have been many real-life monarchs that were even younger than 13 (but yeah, it's crazy).

I can buy the part about her being Queen at 13 (her accent bothers me more than her age) but it's all of the other implausable and stupid stuff I can't get past in the PT.

But consider in history they are usually put into power as a figure head if they are that young, if this was the case then I would have no problem with it. The problem is that the story is that she was freely democratically elected. That makes you think the Naboo are idiots. I didn't get this idea until that horrible "I was too young to be elected speech in AOTC", that made the whole thing seem silly frankly.
