Factual error: No real archery instructor would allow Princess Mia or anyone for that matter, to shoot with people in front of the shooting line and that close to Princess Mia. And, the arrows aren't retrieved until all have been shot, not after every one.
The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004)
1 factual error - chronological order
Directed by: Garry Marshall
Starring: Anne Hathaway, Julie Andrews, John Rhys-Davies, Hector Elizondo, Callum Blue
Continuity mistake: When Princess Mia is announced at her birthday ball, she waves with her right hand and then waves so enthusiastically with her left hand that her bracelet flies off backward. We see it flying fairly high up judging by the door in the background. But when the doorman catches it, its much lower then it should have been (from the previous scene) with a much lower and flatter trajectory.
Mia Thermopolis: Oh my God, you're here.
Lilly Moscovitz: I know.
Mia Thermopolis: In Genovia.
Lilly Moscovitz: I know.
Mia Thermopolis: You're in my closet.
Lilly Moscovitz: Yeah.
Mia Thermopolis: You're blonde.
Lilly Moscovitz: I'm blonde.
Trivia: When Julie Andrews says that she never slides, she adds that she "has done a lot of flying". That is referring to Mary Poppins, which she starred in as Mary Poppins.
Question: The movie is supposed to be three years after the first movie, which would make her 18. But on all the trailers, they say she is 21. Why is this?

Answer: I have visited a lot of websites and they all say the movie is supposed to be taking place 5 years after the first one and that would put her at about 21 since it should be a little after her birthday. Don't assume because this movie's made 3 years after the first that that's how long after the first one it's meant to be set.
