___________________________________________

In the fifth installment of the Princess Diaries, Mia, once again, struggles with her royal family. Her father wants her to go to Genovia for the summer but that would take her away from Michael. Besides, before summer, Mia has to convince Michael to take her to the prom even though he hates the idea of it. Grandmere adds to the drama when her dog gets loose at Mia’s birthday party, and the mishap leads to a citywide food services strike inspired by Mia’s best friend! Mia is torn between her family loyalty and her friend’s actions…and with the strike, there is no venue for the prom. While Grandmere refuses to take responsibility, she does assist Mia in saving her friendship – and the prom. Mia’s antics always amuse and her honest voice guarantees to keep audiences coming back for the next installment—Princess in Training.
