10 Reasons Why 'The Princess Diaries 2' Is The Most Underrated Sequel Ever

Throughout my life, my taste in movies never really evolved at all. For example, for the past 13 years, my favorite movie of all time has been "The Lizzie McGuire Movie" and I highly doubt any other film is going to take its place in my heart. One of my other favorite childhood movies is "The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement," which truthfully, I love even more than its precursor. (Please don’t hate me.) To be honest, I think the main reason for this was because 10-year-old me was obsessed with Chris Pine upon watching it for the first time. However, this movie is also a story that teaches us that instead of marrying a man you don’t love in order to become queen of a small country, just get rid of the law that says you have to. In other words, to heck with the patriarchy! In honor of the recent 15-year anniversary of "The Princess Diaries," I wanted to shed some light on its amazing sequel and its best moments.

1. This scene still sends chills down my spine.

It's truly the definition of goals.

2. In every scene she's featured in, Lilly is the best friend we all need in our lives.

3. That moment when you're trying to give yourself a pep talk in the morning even when you know you look awful.

4. Let's face it, Mia's slumber party ruined every other sleepover you ever went to, simply because they could never compare.

Why don't all staircases come with a giant slide attached?

5. Someone came up with a brilliant plan to have Julie Andrews and Raven-Symone sing a duet that would change the music industry forever.

Whoever you are, I am forever grateful.

6. In case you need to be reminded, Chris Pine is a total dreamboat.

I always had trouble keeping track of whether he was a villain or not, but quite frankly, who cares? This was the only moment of my life that I even remotely had any interest in learning a sport.

7. This iconic line delivered by Queen Clarisse Renaldi, played by real-life queen, Julie Andrews will go down in history as one of the best of all time.

Feel free to use it as a life motto.

8. She also cements her status as a true feminist icon.

9. If this line doesn't make you emotional, then I don't think you're human.

10. Lastly, we got the most perfect surprise happy ending.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
