Garry Marshall,
The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement picks up where its predecessor left off -- that is, with American teenager
Mia Thermopolis (
Anne Hathaway) reeling over the news that she is a princess within the royal family of Genovia, a little-known European nation with a population of barely 50,000. As promised,
Mia, along with her best friend,
Lilly (
Heather Matarazzo), travels to Genovia after their high-school graduation. The unlikely princess has hardly settled into the castle, let alone begun representing the country, when she learns that a larger title is approaching more rapidly than expected; it seems as though
Mia will have to take over as queen. Suddenly, in addition to further schooling on the etiquette of royalty,
Mia finds herself with a daunting prospect -- according to Genovian law, all princesses must be married before they can be crowned. In addition to
Julie Andrews' reprisal of her role as
Queen Clarisse Renaldi,
The Princess Diaries 2 also features
Hector Elizondo and
John Rhys-Davies in supporting roles. Though
Princess Diaries author
Meg Cabot did pen a sequel (
The Princess Diaries: Princess in the Spotlight), this film is not an adaptation.
