The Princess Diaries

She’s just a New York City girl living with her artist mom..

News Flash: Dad is the prince of Genovia (so that’s why a limo meets her at the airport).

Downer: Dad can’t have anymore kids (so no heir to the throne).

Shock of the Century: Like it or not, Mia Thermopolis is prime princess material.

The Worst Part: Mia must take princess lessons from her dreaded grandmère, the dowager princess of Genovia, who things Mia has a thing or two to learn before she steps up to the throne.

Well, her father can lecture her until he’s royal-blue in the face about her princessly duty-no way is she moving to Genovia and leaving Manhattan behind. But what’s a girl to do when her name is Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo?
