That is a quote by a character in the movie "The Rock", not a quote by The Rock.

Also it was said to a guy whose wife/fiance was the prom queen.

That quote makes me feel bad for the Prom Queen.

Congrats, you're a trophy with a tiara.

Is there any other meaningful interpretation of prom queen?

That's a very misogynist quote that doesn't belong in HN, in my humble opinion.

The Rock was released in 1996, Hollywood standards have changed haven't they. That said, I always felt that quote was out of character for a British scholar and polyglot (Sean Connerys character). Is there even a prom culture in the UK? I thought that whole shebang was a US construct.
