Synopsis

It’s the first coronation of a female monarch of Genovia in 200 years, and Her Royal Highness, Princess Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison, is giving listeners the inside scoop in Royal Crown, an audiobook from New York Times—bestselling author and illustrator Meg Cabot!

Olivia Grace Clarisse Mignonette Harrison should be having fun. Her best friend is visiting from America, her sister’s royal coronation is only three days away (the first coronation of a female ruler in two centuries), and she’s even got a new boyfriend who is actually a very smart and charming prince!

But it’s hard to celebrate when her royal cousins are scheming to take over the throne. And with everyone running around, Olivia and her friends have been saddled with royal babysitting duties. Then, to make matters worse, Olivia's snobby cousin Luisa insists on gossiping about her, especially about things that should be personal . . . it's none of her business whether Prince Khalil and Olivia have kissed or not!

When did growing up royal get so complicated?!?

Goodreads review by Katie on August 11, 2018

This rating may be too high. It's FINE, but it also feels like a retread. Like, yes, I saw Mia go through all these things however many years ago. It's fun to see glimpses of characters, but I'm not sure this series has ever really managed to shine on its own. Something brand new probably would've b......more

I will never stop reading I been reading princess diaries books since I was 14 years old. A little over a decade later I'm still reading after falling in love with Olivia. These books still let me have glimpses of Mia and the lot and it makes me happy.......more

Goodreads review by SuperWendy on September 23, 2018

Cabot's Princess Diaries world is my happy place. For me it's like tap-dancing unicorns farting out rainbow sprinkles while I gorge myself on cupcakes.

For those of us who already read the entire Princess Diaries series, this middle school detour gives a lovely view from the younger set. In a way it is like starting over.
