Hold onto your tiaras! Anne Hathaway recently set the internet ablaze with her exciting TikTok announcement – The Princess Diaries 3 is officially happening. While we eagerly await Mia Thermopolis’ next adventure, Disney+ has you covered with both The Princess Diaries and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, now streaming on the platform. It’s the perfect time to dive back into the royal chaos and heartwarming moments that made us all fall in love with Genovia.
The Princess Diaries
In The Princess Diaries (2001), Mia Thermopolis (Anne Hathaway) is an ordinary teenager until she receives life-changing news — she’s the heir to the throne of Genovia. With the help of her regal grandmother, Queen Clarisse Renaldi (the incomparable Julie Andrews), Mia embarks on a hilarious and touching transformation from awkward high schooler to poised princess. Between media storms, jealous classmates, and learning royal protocol, Mia’s journey is full of relatable mishaps and heartwarming growth as she embraces her destiny.
The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement
In The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004), Mia faces new challenges as the future queen of Genovia. While she has everything a princess could want, she lacks the one thing she’s dreamed of — a magical romance. To make matters worse, she’s suddenly faced with the ultimatum of getting married or losing the crown! With comic complications and royal antics at every turn, Mia discovers what it truly means to follow her heart, stay true to herself, and fulfil her royal duties.
Whether you’re revisiting these beloved films or introducing them to a new generation, now’s the perfect time for a Princess Diaries marathon. I introduced Zee to Mia Thermopolis a few years ago, and we can’t wait to watch both films again in anticipation of The Princess Diaries 3! Stream it all on Disney+ and get ready for the ultimate royal experience — Genovia awaits!
