Fifteen-year-old Mia discovers that her father is the Prince of Genovia and she is the sole heir to the throne. She must decide, by her sixteenth birthday, whether she will live as a princess and move to Genovia or remain in Manhattan where she lives with her artist mom. She must suffer through the indignity of princess lessons at the hands of her stern grandmother...

"The Princess Diaries I" focuses on a fifteen-year-old high school outcast named Mia who is content with her ability to remain invisible to the world. Her life, however, takes an unexpected turn when her grandmother arrives with some shocking news; her father's recent death has left Mia as the sole heir to the throne of Genovia. Now, against her will, Mia is being rushed from classes at school to princess lessons with her grandma, trying to figure out who exactly she is. And finally as expected this shy San Francisco teenager, who can't even confront her long-time crush, actually lives up to her family name and accept the responsibilities that come with being a princess. And in the sequel Queen Clarisse will step down at the end of year and Mia is supposed to be the new queen. But our college graduate princess Mia is facing another problem that she has to marry someone within 30 days to assume the Throne of Genovia according to the Law.
