Whether you grew up as a The Princess Diaries stan–the movies or the books (shout out to everyone else who was raised on Meg Cabot)–or, like most people with taste, you recently got swept up in the epic love stories of Bridgerton and haven’t been able to satiate your craving for royal romances since, we’re here to help. ![]() ![]() ![]() Then Saoirse’s “stupid accidental life” is upended again by the return of the town’s prodigal son, Joshua Elmwood, with his girlfriend, Honey Bartlett.
