Very little resembles the plot of the books. For the first film, much of the core plot from the first book does remain, however major changes were made to some plot points and characters or some of them were removed entirely. The second film, ''The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement'' is in fact an entirely new creation with the only plot point from the books being used was Mia's mother marrying her teacher and having a baby with him. However, these movies did give the world Anne Hathaway, for which the world will be forever grateful, and are popular sleepover fare with preteen (and not so preteen) girls to this day.

!!Tropes Found In These Films Include:
* AcquiredSituationalNarcissism
* AdaptationDyeJob: Mia in the books is a dirty blonde, and has it cut short. Movie Mia is brunette with shoulder-length hair.
* ArtifactTitle: The movies lose the diary format the books are written in. Mia has a diary of low plot importance, making the title ''technically'' applicable, but not really.
* BetterAsFriends: Mia and [[spoiler:Andrew]] decide they are this in the second film.
* BlackBestFriend: Arguably, Asana from the second movie.
* CucumberFacial: "Can I tell you a secret? The cucumber does nothing."
* DamnedByFaintPraise:
-->'''Clarisse''': You look so... young.\\
'''Mia''': Uh, thank you. And you look so... ''[long pause]'' ...clean.
* TheGlassesGottaGo
-->'''Mia:''' You broke my glasses.\\
'''Paolo:''' You broke my brush.
* HandsOnApproach: Nicholas teaching Mia to shoot an arrow in the second movie.
* {{Homage}}: In the second movie, Mia dances with a succession of royal suitors with humorous personalities and/or odd dance styles, much as AudreyHepburn (also playing a somewhat unorthodox princess) does in ''RomanHoliday''.

* MakeoverMontage
* ModestyShorts: Seen when Mia comes down the spiral steps at the beginning.
