The Princess Diaries is a series of novels written by Meg Cabot, and it was adapted into a film in 2001. Let's compare the book and film.

In Meg Cabot's book series, the story is presented in the form of diary entries written by Mia Thermopolis. Mia discovers that she is the heir to the throne of a small European principality, Genovia, and the narrative follows her journey as she navigates the challenges of royal life and adolescence. The 2001 film adaptation saves this summary but introduces changes to make it more entertaining.

Firstly, the portrayal of Mia's grandmother, Queen Clarisse Renaldi, was changed. In the books, Queen Clarisse is a more serious and authoritative figure, while in the film she is a charming and warming character.

Secondly, the film simplifies some of the events from the books, focusing on Mia's transformation from an awkward teenager to a princess.

In addition, the film employs visual storytelling and humour to engage the audience, while the books tell us about Mia's inner thoughts and emotions through the diary format.

The 2001 film received praise for its humour, heartwarming moments, and the performance of Anne Hathaway as Mia. It contributed to the popularization of the story and introduced The Princess Diaries to a broader audience.
