If Padme died during childbirth, then why does Leia say "She was very beautiful, kind, but sad" when asked what she remembers of her mother in Return?

Leia is known as Leia Organa, not Leia Amidala - the woman she speaks of is her Alderaan mother. Obviously, the lie was maintained for her protection, the same way Luke was told his father had died.

At this point, Leia still doesn't know of her true nature.
