Thank you so much for your patience.
I have an announcement to make.
-My granddaughter--
-She's here!
I wouId Iike to announce that my granddaughter has arrived.
With a fascinating expIanation as to her wardrobe, I'm sure.
She's styIing a wet, sort of grunge-Iook hairdo...
and is wearing a sweatshirt, jeans, and Docs.
Mia, wouId you care to say a few words?
Um, yes.
Why didn't we dress Iike her? We Iook Iike idiots.
Thank you, Your Majesty.
Do you think they're trying to save money on the gown?
Hello,I'm Mia.
It stopped raining.
Get your tiara ready.
I'm reaIIy no good at speechmaking.
NormaIIy I get so nervous that I faint...
or run away or sometimes I even get sick.
But you reaIIy didn't need to know that.
But I'm not so afraid anymore.
My father heIped me.
EarIier this evening,I had every intention of giving up my cIaimto the throne.
and my mother heIped me by teIIing me that it was OK.
and by supporting me Iike she has for my entire Iife.
But...
then I wondered how I'd feeI...
after abdicating my roIe as Princess of Genovia.
WouId I feeI reIieved or wouId I feeI sad?
And then I reaIized...
how many stupid times a day I use the word ''I.''
ln fact, probably all l ever do...
is think about myseIf.
And how Iame is that...
when there are biIIion other peopIe on the pIanet
But then l thought...
if I cared about the other biIIion out there...
instead of just me...
that's probabIy a much better use of my time.
See, if l were Princess of Genovia...
then my thoughts...
and the thoughts of peopIe smarter than me...
would be much better heard and just maybe...
those thoughts couId be turned into actions.
So this morning when I woke up...
I was Mia ThermopoIis.
But now...
I choose to be forevermore...
AmeIia Mignonette ThermopoIis RenaIdi...
Princess of Genovia.
I hope you didn't order your stationery yet.
This was my very first tiara.
I was rather fond of it.
I'm hoping you wiII be, too.
Oh. Grandma, but you had it aIready.
How did you know I'd even be here?
Because I recognize the same spirit in you...
as someone eIse I know.
Who?
Me.
Ah-, you made it.
You bet your Iife, you big, taII string bean.
Here. PaoIo here to save the day.
Genovia
The land l call my home
Genovia, Genovia
Forever will your banner wave
Her Majesty, Queen Clarisse...
and Her RoyaI Highness, AmeIia, Princess of Genovia.
I think perhaps we'd better get you dried off now.
No Ionger does Mia stand for ''Missing In Action.''
Genovia has a new princess.
They had the same idea I had...
but now the garden is ''occupado.''
Why me?
Because you saw me when I was invisibIe.
And just because I'm royaI...
doesn't mean I'm any different.
I'm reaIIy the same person.
Yes, I wiII have to Iive in Genovia a bit
but I'II stiII go to schooI and...
