We get to see Mia lets her mom control her life, the Queen, Lily, but at the end of it all she stands up for herself and she takes her own decisions. As the dialogue goes, “No one can make you feel inferior without your consent” we get to understand the reality.

These were a few reasons why The Princess Diaries is still the best.
