All hail Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi, Queen of Genovia! The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement has turned 20. Its prequel film, The Princess Diaries, is the movie we all have to thank for making Anne Hathaway a movie star.
Over the past two and a half decades, Hathaway has delivered iconic performances that have made us laugh, cry, and, of course, swoon.
