Story Plot

In The Princess Diaries 3, Queen Mia Thermopolis Renaldi has reigned over Genovia for nearly two decades with grace, reform, and heart—but not without challenge. Now in her early 40s, Mia faces her most personal and political trial yet: preparing her adopted daughter, Mathilda, a brilliant and bold 15-year-old of mixed heritage, to one day wear the crown. As Mathilda begins to question where she truly belongs—in a royal family and country that doesn't always see her as one of their own—Mia must fight old laws, stubborn traditions, and a divided parliament to secure her daughter’s place as heir. Amid a rising tide of criticism, invasive headlines, and the growing rift between mother and daughter, a looming independence celebration—and Mathilda’s 16th birthday—becomes the stage for a showdown between the future and the past. With cameos from beloved characters, fresh faces, sly royal humor, and emotional depth, this next chapter blends legacy with progress in a heartfelt story about identity, family, and the courage to lead.

  • My version of PD3. Although a biracial teenage sister is book canon, I feel that does not fit the established movie narrative. In film narrative, Mia's father died in 2001, so it would make no sense to introduce a teenage biracial half-sister and it would be ridiculous to retcon the already established film narrative. So I re-imagined it as an adopted biracial daughter. Anne Hathaway has spoken publically about fertility issues she had in the past. And book canon has a refugee narrative in which Mia's stance on helping refugees angers some Genovians. I've incorporated both into my story. Mia and Nicholas had fertility issues and adopted a refugee daughter whom they loved and raised as their own. They eventually have twins. When it comes time to name Matilda heir to the throne, it causes issues on who should really inherit the throne.
