Princess Diaries 3 (2025) picks up over a decade after the events of the second film. Mia Thermopolis is now a confident and accomplished queen, ruling the kingdom of Genovia with grace—but also with mounting pressure. As modernization sweeps across Europe, Mia is torn between preserving Genovia’s traditions and pushing for progressive reforms. When political tensions rise and her approval rating slips, Mia is faced with a bold question from her council: should she consider stepping aside?
At the same time, a royal discovery shakes the palace: a distant American relative—20-year-old Emma, a quirky and artistic college student from New York—is revealed to be a legitimate heir to the Genovian throne. Reluctantly invited to Genovia, Emma arrives with no intention of becoming royalty. But the media frenzy and public fascination with a “new American princess” cause a stir—and a rivalry the kingdom wasn’t ready for.
Mia is tasked with mentoring Emma in royal etiquette, hoping to prove she’s unfit to rule. But as Emma brings a fresh and relatable energy to the court, Genovians begin to connect with her. The two women clash over everything from politics to palace protocol, yet slowly discover common ground. Hidden insecurities surface for Mia, as she confronts fears of being replaced—not just as queen, but as a symbol of hope.
