Like everyone born sometime around the Nineties and raised in the early 2000s, I see Anne Hathaway as much more than an Academy Award-winning actress and talented performer— in my eyes, she is and forever will be Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi, Princess and then Queen of Genovia.

Both 2001’s The Princess Diaries—where a young Mia Thermopolis learns that she’s actually the crown princess of the small but fierce European country of Genovia—and 2004’s The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement—where she discovers she has to marry before she’s allowed to take the Genovian throne—have been pillars of my adolescence and remain comfort movies I turn to at least once a year. Julie Andrews as Queen Clarisse? As iconic as they come. Her love story with Héctor Elizondo’s Joe? Beautiful and moving. The scene where Chris Pine teaches Anne Hathaway how to shoot an arrow? The stuff of dreams.
