Royal Wedding: A Princess Diaries Novel (Princess Diaries, 11)

After reading Forever Princess and getting Meg's signature on my blue paperback, I thought we were saying goodbye to Princess Mia and her adventures forever, apart from her blog and Twitter. As it turns out, with this book and From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess, we are getting an enthusiastic welcome from an old friend.Mia is 26, only three years older than I am, and she has her hands full. Her dad, the Prince of Genovia, is suffering a midlife crisis. The press hounds her every where she goes, including when she visits the community center she founded, and she has a stalker that has sent death threats. Mia's been forced to hide out at the Genovian consulate from the press and her stalker, and she rarely gets to see the man she loves. She hopes that at least she and Michael can have the wedding of their dreams-- quiet, with a few family members and family-- but Grandmere gets involved, and the drama ensues. And Mia hasn't even found out about ALL her father's shenanigans, or that a twelve-year old named Olivia needs her help.I don't blame Mia for suffering an eye twitch from all the stress. Like me, she suffers general anxiety and I would have an eye twitch if my dad (RIP, Appa) had gotten arrested driving a race car into New York, in addition to my regular stresses.Honestly, this book packed more than a few punches, and was levels better than the movie sequel that supposedly featured an engagement party, because it talked about real-world issues like oppression and refugees from the Middle East, upper-class snobbery and racism (shame on the fictional people that sent death threats to Mia and her family!) and Internet trolls that have no better things to do than to harass a princess that does a lot more community service than they do.Let the facts state that I hate Internet trolls, and I hate racists that have an Internet connection. Good for Meg to address these issues and show them in a serious light. Even better for Meg was to show that Tina has become Mia's best friend in life, though Lilly and Mia are still on good terms, to show that some things can be forgiven but never forgotten. JP, back from his morally dubious stints in book ten, shows that forgiveness has its limits, even from princesses.Michael is a really amazing boyfriend, though he's certainly got the makings of an evil genius like his sister. If he likes or loves you, he'll use his smarts to make you happy. If you cross him, however, he makes Lilly's brutal moments look tame.Is there anything that I dislike about the book? Actually, yes: the fact that someone dies before the book starts and we only see the aftermath a year later, not to mention what ends up happening with Mia's mom. We didn't see any pain there, though Mia founds the community center in his honor, and it would've been nice to have a proper goodbye with him.Apart from that, Kudos. Also with the twist towards the end of the book, I hope that a sequel will happen during which we see Michael's shenanigans in the Genovian palaces.

Princess Mia, age 26, is mostly grown up and happily celebrating her birthday with the love of her life, Michael, when he asks her to marry him! life will never be the same, and all because of circumstances they can't even imagine!A lovely conclusion to this long running series that is filled with so many emotions and interesting characters. New characters and newfound emotions in this volume makes it perfect reading even though it has taken me years to get to this.I've never met a Meg Cabot book that I haven't loved!!

So, I know this book has been out awhile, but I love the Princess Diaries books even as an adult. I also love Meg Cabot's digs at the movies about her life. Having heard Meg speak at a convention once, she actually talked about meeting Julie Andrews and loves the fact that Julie Andrews plays Mia's grandmother (even though she's so much nicer than the book version). Still, Mia pulls it off again. I want to read the spinoff books as well.

I have not read the earlier Princess Diaries books but have enjoyed many other Meg Cabot books and I always enjoy them and they always make me smile and chuckle. Meg Cabot has a knack for writing very likeable characters. I liked the move into adulthood that this book took and it definitely opens the door for more books in the series. The book is not award winning or thought provoking but it is a very fun, enjoyable read!

Never thought I'd read a Princess Diaries book again. I used to love them in my teens but am now in my 20's. Then I randomly came across this book, and it was well worth the read! It's funny reading Mia as an adult like me instead of the teens we were (and Michael, boy is Michael all grown up) but it was a really sweet story that at the same time managed to deal with issues such as: racism, immigration, and corruption. Highly recommend you give this new Mia a try.

I will admit first that I did not read her entire Princess Diary collection being an adult. I did enjoy the movie, so when I saw that this book was was geared to a slightly older crowd I was intrigued.My daughter (17) and I have both been reading at the same time, on 2 different devices of course. It is quite amusing to hear us giggling at different parts of the story, and also getting frustrated that one or the other didn't read quick enough to discuss a certain part without spilling the beans.Today I finished the book and found that I thoroughly enjoyed it. I enjoyed the story twists, romance, Royal headaches, humor, towns I recognized, and all that is relative to things today. I totally recommend this as a good light read.

It's a pretty fitting end to the series with good tie ins to Meg Cabots middle school princess spinoff. I felt pretty satisfied with Mia, Michael and the others ending and careers. As a fan of The Princess Diaries in school, I really felt this worked. I grew up with Mia and this just makes me smile

A rather boring, and flat read. There wasn’t really a storyline, nor any suspense or tension. Of course Michael will ask Mia to marry him – the clue is in the title of the book! The sub-plot with Mia’s half sister seemed to be more focused on promoting her new book (Notebooks of a Middle School Princess) and didn’t have much bearing on the overall story. Mia didn’t seem as funny or as likeable in this book, and Michael had been transformed into some sort of overly-obedient doormat. Lily was as unpredictable as ever and Tina was a caricature of her old self. I didn’t enjoy this as much as I thought I would, and that makes me feel quite sad. I feel like this truly is the end of my teenage years.

This is one of my favourite books of all time. It is my favourite Princess Diaries book, and I have read it a hundred times! It is my comfort read, I read it whenever I am anxious or upset and it always manages to cheer me up. It tackles so many subjects and works on so many levels. I hope this helped you decide, this book is a worthwhile purchase. Love it so much!❤❤❤❤

I thought this book was lacking on older characters, why the changes? A little uncomfortable when they were talking about their sex play fantasies, and generally I wouldn't have been sorry to give this book a miss.The ending was a bit silly, but I still loved Mia and Michael. Book 10 will always be my fave, this book was unnecessary and not as good.

I enjoyed this book thoroughly though I thinkm it would have been better if Meg Cabot included a description of how the wedding goes and maybe at the end a bit about Mia and Michael with the twins. I am looking forward to finding out if there is going to be more books in the series!

Almost perfect! I've been a fan of the princess diaries for many years now and I was so glad to hear that another one was being written, this book jumps straight back in to Mia's life and all of the character's still have their old charm, I would 100% recommend for any fans of the series and I feel if you haven't read any of the books you could still enjoy it but not as much. Overall amazing and I wasn't initially sure about the *spoilers* sister story line when I heard it'd be in the book but it worked perfectly. Bring on a sequel!
