The Princess Diaries is a novel about an ordinary teen, Mia Thermopolis, who discovers she is actually heir to a throne in a distant country few people have even heard of. In addition to the challenges of math class, Mia has to decide if she would like to be the ruler (someday) of this small, fictional foreign nation. We discuss this classic coming-of-age story and the enduring allure (or fear) of being a princess. Since this is also the same month that Prince Harry's memoir debuted, we also got into the connections between these two royals. What does it mean to take charge of your own story?
Next up: We'll cover Everything I Need I Get from You: How Fangirls Created the Internet as We Know It by Kaitlyn Tiffany.
