August 7, 2004 – The World Premiere of The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement is held at the AMC Downtown Disney Theaters
“Well, I think you should try to be princess for as long as you can, but inevitably you must accept responsibility and become a queen. Once that happens, true greatness can be achieved. So in my opinion I think it’s better to be queen.” – Actress Anne Hathaway
