Fiona is the wife of Shrek and the cousin of Arthur Pendragon. After King Harold's death, she and Shrek are the heirs to the throne of Far Far Away. During the film, Fiona reveals to Shrek that she is pregnant, which horrifies him because he believes he is incapable of raising children. While Shrek is away, Fiona and Queen Lillian host a baby shower with a group of princesses. When Prince Charming and his villains attack the castle, the ladies escape, but Rapunzel betrays Fiona, and she is locked in the castle dungeons. Queen Lillian later frees them all by headbutting an opening in the stone wall. At the end of the film, Fiona and Shrek are back at the swamp raising their new triplets with help from Donkey, Puss, Lillian, and Dragon, with Shrek overcoming his fear of parenthood.
