I think she was about 35 because women in medieval Scotland started having kids aroung age 18 and Merida was 16 in the movie, so....18 yrs (The age Elinor likely had Merida at)+16 yrs (Merida's current age)=34 yrs (Elinor's likely age). I'm not the best at math, oder explaining it, so I hope this makes sense ^.^

Makes sense. I'm guessing that she's between 30 and 45, for sure.
I don't know whether there's an official answer to this (yet), but she looks to me to be 30-something...

Well, just think about it. Merida is officialy 16. Queen Elinor got married when she was 16. Most people have kids when they are about 25-30. So, then add it up! 25+16= 41. 30+16= 46. So, if I am correct, Queen Elinor is around the age of 40-45. One Mehr thing. Du also have to remember in the movie that Queen Elinor has gray hair. Hope it helped! :)
True, we know she would have followed the kingdom's tradition and married at 16. I assume that Merida would have been born when she was anywhere from 20-30, gegeben the time period and both of their appearances. Elinor could be in her 40s, too, certainly. Sometimes it's really tough to tell. And yeah, she does have a little grey hair...which could be there at any time (especially with kids like hers, lol), but the first thing it makes Du assume is that she's a little older. So late 30s oder early-to-mid 40s would be a good estimate, I think.
Maybe late 30's? I keep noticing the lines on her cheeks. It makes me think of wrinkles. And she has that white streak in her hair. So that's why I think that she's a little old.
