I actually didn't think there would be that much interest in them, because it has been so long and no one was really talking about them except for the diehard fans. I didn't until now! I felt no pressure at all because I didn't tell anyone.
Then boom! All of a sudden, it turns out she has this other sibling there's another princess! And that idea kind of bloomed into a companion book for younger readers, because I have nieces and nephews now who are getting really into reading and I thought it'd be great to have books for them about royalty too.ĭid you feel a lot of pressure to get it right after all these years off from the series? I thought something that could actually happen with her dad is that it might turn out that he has other kids and she doesn't know about them.
And then I kept hearing from readers who were like, "Keep it going!" Then a big thing that happened was that Prince William and Kate Middleton got married, and readers were like, "When are we gonna get to hear about Princess Mia's wedding?" I started thinking, "You know, that isn't actually a bad idea." But you can't just have a story about a royal wedding - there has to be some tension and some other stuff going on. When I started the series, I really only intended it to go until she graduated from high school, and I had no ideas after that. What made you decide to return to Mia and Genovia? It's been six years since the last Princess Diaries book came out, and at the time it was supposed to be the final installment. Meg recently talked to about Mia's beloved cat, royal gossip, and how "adult" Royal Wedding really is. The former concerns Olivia, Mia's recently discovered royal half-sister, while the latter follows Mia as she plans a wedding to her high-school sweetheart Michael Moscovitz (read an excerpt here).
Now, six years after publishing what was supposed to be Mia's final adventure, Meg Cabot returns to the world of Genovia with two new additions to the series, From the Notebooks of a Middle School Princess (out May 19) and Royal Wedding (out June 2). The movies were great, of course, but they couldn't quite replicate the mix of vulnerability, sarcasm, and rapid-fire pop culture references that made Princess Mia so compelling across 10 novels. For women who were in middle school about 15 years ago, the Princess Diaries books were the thing.
