I rewatched The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (after like 10 years or sth) and this time I actually liked Andrew better for Mia and yes, I am going to elaborate:
He has an actual job, he’s a pilot
He has a PhD
He’s older than her and he’s more stable so he can be a great advisor
He cares about her
He has interests and hobbies, his main characteristic isn’t being pretty
He’s an artist
He’s loyal and true to his promises
I feel like he would gracefully accept his role as a husband and not try to be a king instead
They could travel together
He would provide balance for her
I’m not saying she should have married him at the time, I’m all for her independent rule and the feminist speech.
She should have been crowned as a “bachelorette” queen and rule alone and only when she’s ready for the official relationship she and Andrew could have gotten married after dating and getting to know each other for some time.
Pt. 1 of Mia Thermopolis costume illustrations. I’ve been feeling ✨sentimental✨ about the ‘00s aesthetic & media. Doing these has been an outlet for my nostalgia. It has also been an excellent way to study costume design as a tool for storytelling.
So in the middle of me trying to explain to my friend that my hair did a reverse Mia from the Princess Diaries, I decided to google her last name to make sure I was spelling it right and uh
They really said you better put some respect on the Princess’ name.
Princess Diaries: Royal Jubilee, where Mia and crew set off on a tour to celebrate her reign. She makes a stop in San Francisco where she attends her high school reunion. We get to see where all the characters from the first movie end up. Typical Mia hijinks ensue. Whatever plot in the middle (maybe a plot dedicated to her and the crew trying to get a photo back from paparazzi?). Movie ends with her at a ball dedicated to her to parallel the PD1 ending.
