The Princess Diaries

Meg Cabot

About the book

Read the book that inspired the smash-hit Disney film, starring Anne Hathaway!

Mia was just an average New York teenager. But one confession from her dad sends her on a whirlwind journey of royal responsibilities, mandatory makeovers and fancy gala balls!

'You're not Mia Thermopolis anymore, honey,' Dad said. 'You're Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo. Princess of Genovia.'

One minute, Mia is a normal fourteen-year-old learning maths, putting up with a bully and crushing on a boy who doesn't know she exists.

The next, Mia is receiving etiquette lessons from her snobby grandmother, getting glamorous makeovers from someone called Paolo, and being trailed by a bodyguard. A life of royalty is every young girl's dream – but Mia can't think of anything more absurd!

Life just got a whole lot more interesting for this distressed princess!

The Princess Diaries by Meg Cabot is the first in the fun, funny and beloved Princess Diaries series. The series continues with the second book, A Royal Disaster.
