Revisiting The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement

[@forestgrump4723]

The person you’re fumbling the name of is Joe. Queen Clarice more often calls him Joseph. And the fiance is I believe called Andrew. I feel like the second movie had more princess stuff where the first one had more awkward teenager stuff. As someone who has read the books the first one is much closer to the book vibe. Which I respect because I feel like you should try to capture the essence of the story you’re adapting. But there’s something to be said for making it your own too. I don’t think either movie did a bad job, and to me they’re on equal footing for different reasons. I’m hoping the third one will have Mia with a young daughter, maybe 13? Trying to figure out how to be a mom and a queen while her daughter has just a way different view then she did growing up because she grew up royal. Possibly ahead of could have an infant son and learn that he usurps her daughter’s place in succession because he’s a boy? That’s a thing. Dunno

A Princess Diaries 3 with a daughter and son would be so fun to watch! I wonder if they would take inspiration from the books or if it would be more like the second movie? P.S. Thanks for letting me know the names of Joseph and Andrew :)

@@CJs_Galaxy No problem, I expect a third in the series would likely have to branch off and do its own thing, the books didn’t cover Mia becoming queen. So unless they’re planning to do an in between movie with her doing her last year of high school in Genovia… which I hope is not the case because both her and Julie Andrews are a lot older than they were in 2 it would not work great
