Disney gives us all this garbage that nobody asked for - remakes and money grabs that make me cringe - but what I need - we NEED
I NEED A MOVIE ABOUT YOUNG QUEEN CLARRISE TEARING IT UP IN GENOVIA.
Think about it, shes a dutiful young princess who has an arranged marriage to the young handsome King Rupert, but odd sexual attraction between her and her new bodyguard Joseph.
It writes itself.
Headcannon Rupert and Jo are best friends and Rupert knows that they are basically a throuple- and is on board.
I was watching The Princess Diaries but in that movie somehow Mia wasn't the Princess of Genovia, her cousin was, and Mia had to protect said cousin from zombie apocalypse.
I rewatched The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (after like 10 years or sth) and this time I actually liked Andrew better for Mia and yes, I am going to elaborate:
He has an actual job, he’s a pilot
He has a PhD
He’s older than her and he’s more stable so he can be a great advisor
He cares about her
He has interests and hobbies, his main characteristic isn’t being pretty
He’s an artist
He’s loyal and true to his promises
I feel like he would gracefully accept his role as a husband and not try to be a king instead
They could travel together
He would provide balance for her
I’m not saying she should have married him at the time, I’m all for her independent rule and the feminist speech.
She should have been crowned as a “bachelorette” queen and rule alone and only when she’s ready for the official relationship she and Andrew could have gotten married after dating and getting to know each other for some time.
I’m currently doing a rewatch of one of my favorite movies ever, Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, which if you haven’t seen, was a very influencial movie for young Gen Zs growing up in the early 2000s. But in my rewatch I realized the sequel that I’d love to see made.
Basically it would act as both a Sequel and a Prequel, telling the story of Mia’s daughter, the new Princess of Genovia, in tandum with the story of Clarisse and how she became Queen of Genovia all those years ago. I want to see her arranged marriage with King Rupert, with her early relationship with Joe, and then later into the life of Mia’s father and the death of both him and her husband. It would parallel a lot of parts of both the women’s lives, and of course, we’d bet Julie Andrews back in her iconic role to tell her story.
I don’t know about y’all, but I’d pay good money to see something like this
Honestly the prime minister and his wife in the Princess Diaries are real ones, after just meeting Mia they let themselves look like fools while eating the palate cleanser just so she wouldn’t be alone. MVPs
