The Princess Diaries is a series of epistolary young adult novels written by Meg Cabot, and is also the title of the first volume, published in 2000. The series consists of 12 core novels, 4 novellas, and 4 companion novels. The series follows normal-American-teen-turned-royal Mia Thermopolis through her "diary" entries. The series originally concluded in 2009 with the tenth volume, but was revived in 2015 and 2023 with Royal Wedding and The Quarantine Princess Diaries, respectively. A spin-off series for younger audiences was launched in 2015, which follows Mia's younger half-sister, Olivia.
