Of course none of them were ordinary in the end, but they all had fairly mundane origins, Leia being the notable exception. Even she, however, was easy to relate to because she seemed normal, as if she had had a normal upbringing and had just happened to be a princess.
Now, if we contrast Leia with Padmé, there's a marked difference.
Which is odd considering that while Padme was only elected queen for a short period of time during her late teens, Leia had been raised as royalty right from infancy.
