The Princess Diaries

ComedyFamilyRomance115 min

Mia Thermopolis is a bright, awkward San Francisco teen raised by her single mother, just trying to survive high school, when news about her absent father turns her life upside down: he was the crown prince of Genovia, and she’s next in line for the throne. Anne Hathaway’s Mia is suddenly dealing with royal lessons, tabloid attention, and a decision about whether to leave her ordinary life behind. Queen Clarisse (Julie Andrews), the grandmother Mia barely knows, steps in to teach her the rules of court life as school friendships, crushes, and public embarrassment all get tangled up in her new title.
