built 651 days ago
The Princess Diaries is a teen comedy released in August 2001 by Walt Disney Pictures, and based on the Meg Cabot book. In it, Anne Hathaway plays an ordinary girl who discovers her links to the royal family of the fictional land of Genovia.
As the film opens, gawky American turned refined princess Anne Hathaway faces a crisis. To succeed her grandmother (Julie Andrews) as queen, Hathaway must marry within 30 days; otherwise, she must cede the throne to Chris Pine, the handsome nephew of scheming usurper John Rhys-Davies. Boxed into a corner, Hathaway reluctantly agrees to marry a well-born English bloke who's reasonably attractive and fairly nice, but never quite handsome or charming enough to actually get the girl. Pine, on the other hand, does stoke Hathaway's fires, even though his uncle's attempts to unseat her seemingly doom their relationship.

She openly claims she is anything but self-assured for the task at hand.
