A socially awkward but very bright 15-year-old girl being raised by a single mom discovers that she is the princess of a small European country because of the recent death of her long-absent father, who, unknown to her, was the crown prince of Genovia. She must make a choice between continuing the life of a San Francisco teen or stepping up to the throne.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"The Princess Diaries is a coming-of-age story centered around Mia's sudden discovery of her royal heritage and her subsequent decision about her future. There are no narrative elements, settings, or thematic resonances tied to the Christmas season."
