Wow. Gee whiz. Golly wolly.
July 29 officially marks 21 years since The Princess Diaries was released in theaters.
This movie is ICONIC, and it honestly shaped an entire generation. What film better prepared us for the world? Without it, how would we know how to wave like a princess? Or know what a “foot poppin’ kiss” is? Or understand that even though responsibility is often terrifying, it’s better to meet the challenge than to run? (OK, got a little sincere there. Moving on!)
One of the most memorable parts of this classic is its cast. It is jam-packed with STARS, babe, and some incredibly memorable character actors.
So, let’s take a look at what the cast is up to 21 years later.
