They look like little mer-babies, they have fishtails. No idea if "3" of them is symbolic of anything. Maybe there are "4", another one on the other side of the throne-arm.

Queen of Cups

The mer-babies could be Ondines, water elementals - like mermaids and nymphs. Some details of the card also suggest a reference to Aphrodite/Venus, the sea-born goddess of love - the Queen of Cups seats by the seashore; she rests her feet on sea-shells; she also has a pink sea-shell on her chest.

There is an intriguing detail in that card - has anyone ever noticed a small figure in the lower right corner? It looks like maybe a fish, but I'm not sure.
