* NonSequitur: After Mia’s wooden leg is exposed to the people from her horse being scared by a rubber snake, one woman amusedly points it out as reason for being so clumsy. Another woman quite randomly follows that up by pointedly noting “I like all these men wearing helmets.”
* NoSparks: Mia and Andrew's problem in the sequel. They click immediately -- as friends. While they would have had a comfortable marriage had the wedding gone through, it wouldn't have necessarily been ''happy''. This relationship apparently mirrors that between Mia's grandparents. Clarissa called her late husband her best friend, and she was happy with him, but she didn't ''love'' him -- at least, not as much as she should have, and not quite in the way a wife would love her husband.

In the event that she doesn't, Nicholas Devereaux, a distant heir, is next in line. Gets resolved when Nicholas allows Mia to have the throne, mainly because he never wanted it and is in love with her.

* {{Retcon}}: Despite having liked two guys in the first movie and officially dating one of them at the end, Mia will state in the sequel that she's never been in love. Then again, she could have been talking about being in a serious relationship; how many high school romances tend to last after high school?

In order to inherit, Mia arranges a MarriageOfConvenience between herself and Duke Andrew Jacoby (Creator/CallumBlue), but cannot deny her attraction to Nicholas.

Enter Nicholas Devereaux (Creator/ChrisPine), a young nobleman who seems to be trying to steal the throne from right under her nose...

----
* AdvertisedExtra: Creator/RavenSymone's role as Asana was heavily promoted but she only really plays a major role in the opening party and at the sleepover.
* AwesomeMomentOfCrowning: Mia takes her place and is crowned as queen of Genovia at the end of the sequel.
* AwkwardKiss: Mia and Andrew try to kiss to see if they have any romantic chemistry at all. Cue extremely uncomfortable liplock and the realization that they are definitely BetterAsFriends.
* BelligerentSexualTension: Mia and Nicholas's bickering is a sign of their mutual attraction, which they eventually act on.
* BetterAsFriends:
**Mia and Michael have broken up, and Mia mentioned that they're now back to "just friends".
** Mia and Andrew. The two got along really well, and Mia expected him to be her perfect match to secure the throne of Genovia. Later, they fall for other people, and they (quite happily) called off the wedding.
* BettyAndVeronica: Invoked. Mabrey instructs Nicholas to seduce Mia with the thought of a passionate romance, contrasting her intended MarriageOfConvenience with [[NiceGuy Andrew]]. The one thing he ''didn't'' count on was Nicholas genuinely falling for her.
* BigShutUp: Flipping the BigShutUp moment from the first film where Mia yelled "Shut up" in front of a scandalized Clarisse, Clarisse herself cries "Shut up" when the Genovian parliament drops the bomb that Mia must be married in order to ascend to the throne. Leads to a funny moment when the camera cuts back to an eavesdropping Mia:
--->'''Clarisse:''' Shut up!\\
'''Mia:''' Grandma said 'shut up'? ''Shut up!''
* TheCameo:
** Freakin' Creator/StanLee appears as a guest. And that was before anyone even thought about the idea of Disney buying Marvel.
** Creator/SophiaLoren also cameos in the birthday party scene.
* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Jeremiah is nowhere to be found in the second movie. It's possible Lilly lost touch with him at some point in between the two films.
* FriendshipAsCourtship: Queen Clarisse's longtime bodyguard Joe spontaneously proposal to her following an hour and a half of UnresolvedSexualTension, which she accepts.
* ImprobableHairstyleSequence: Paolo, the royal hairdresser, is tasked with doing Mia's hair for her wedding. She grimaces and says she looks like a moose. At any rate, Mia comes to her wedding with a normal-looking hairstyle.
* MarriageOfConvenience: In the sequel, Mia resigns herself to this with Andrew so she can properly inherit the throne, although they both acknowledge that there's no romantic spark between them. [[spoiler: She calls off the wedding at the altar, to both of their relief]].
* {{Nepotism}}: A throwaway gag line reveals that the reason why Mia's suite wasn't ready upon her arrival is because they asked her grandfather's cousin to do the bathroom. As Clarisse puts it, nepotism belongs in the arts -- not plumbing.
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: When Nicholas attempts to woo Mia, he pulls her close to him and kisses her at least once.
* ObviouslyEvil: Mabrey makes it clear that he's out for the throne.
* NoSparks: Mia and Andrew's problem in the sequel. They click immediately -- as friends. While they would have had a comfortable marriage had the wedding gone through, it wouldn't have necessarily been ''happy''. This relationship apparently mirrors that between Mia's grandparents. Clarissa called her late husband her best friend, and she was happy with him, but she didn't ''love'' him -- at least, not as much as she should have, and not quite in the way a wife would love her husband.
* PairTheSpares: The garden party makes it quite clear that not only are Mia and Nicholas the OfficialCouple of the film, Andrew is quite taken with Lady Elyssa, Nicholas' date. The final scene implies that they did indeed get together.
* ParentalMarriageVeto: The whole conflict of the second movie could've been avoided if they had betrothed Nicholas to Mia -- especially since it was becoming increasingly clear to anyone watching them interact that they wouldn't be opposed to the idea ''at all''. Nicholas even brings up the possibility to his uncle, who immediately shoots it down as he does not want anyone to threaten his attempts to make Nicholas a PuppetKing.
* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage:
** PlayedWith. Mia does find Andrew to be all the things a PrinceCharming should be, handsome, kind and intelligent, and she does genuinely like him, she just doesn't love him, and vice versa. He is willing however to still be her consort if it means she inherits her birthright as Queen of Genovea, but she decides she cannot allow him to sacrifice his own chance at happiness for her.
** Discussed in relations to her grandparents. While the two did have a happy marriage, and Clarrise did love her husband, enough that she was able to produce two heirs, she claims that King Rupert was her best friend, but not the love of her life.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Mia frequently wears shades of red, pink, and orange while her love interest Nicholas is frequently seen in shades of blue.
* PrecociousCrush: Prince Jacques, age 12, tries to romance Mia while dancing with her at her 21st birthday.
* PrinceCharming: Andrew Jacoby is a duke, not a prince, but fits the part in all other aspects. He's an UsefulNotes/{{Oxbridge}}-educated NiceGuy who does volunteer work and photography, has experience as a military pilot, and is apparently a champion swimmer.
* RaceAgainstTheClock: Mia has 30 days to get married to someone or she'll have to give up the throne.
* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Robert Schwartzmann was busy touring with his band when the sequel was produced, which is why Mia's narration says she and Michael are BetterAsFriends at the start.
* {{Retcon}}: Despite having liked two guys in the first movie and officially dating one of them at the end, Mia will state in the sequel that she's never been in love. Then again, she could have been talking about being in a serious relationship; how many high school romances tend to last after high school?
* RomanticRunnerUp: Andrew really is just as nice as he appears, and if things had been different, he and Mia probably could have made a go of a content, if not exactly passionate, marriage. He is seen standing with Lilly, Nicholas, and Lady Elyssa at Mia's coronation, making it clear that they did remain friends -- and that, thankfully, [[PairTheSpares he got his own happy ending]].
* RunawayBride: Played straight in the climax where [[spoiler:Mia decides not to marry Andrew for the sake of Genovia, much to his relief since he didn't particularly want to marry her either]].
* ShipperOnDeck: Lilly ships Mia/Nicholas. Mia ships Joe/Clarisse.
* ShippingTorpedo: Nicholas and his uncle initially try to torpedo Mia/Andrew so Nicholas can be king. He has a change of heart.
* ShipTease: Lily and the leader of the Royal Guard Band in the sequel. [[spoiler:He even goes as far as to ask if he could call her in California, and she slips him her business card.]]
* SuccessionCrisis: The plot of the second movie -- an obscure law bars Mia from inheriting the throne of Genovia unless she is married. In the event that she doesn't, Nicholas Devereaux, a distant heir, is next in line. Gets resolved when Nicholas allows Mia to have the throne, mainly because he never wanted it and is in love with her.
* SymbolSwearing: In the sequel, Mia does a mixture of this and GoshdangItToHeck by angrily muttering some nonsense syllables while stomping off.
* TookALevelInKindness:
** Lilly has noticeably matured by this film, shedding most of her slightly caustic traits from the first film.
** The Baron and Baroness, comical crown-grabbers from the first film, also briefly appear in this film but have backed off seeking the crown except for a PlayedForLaughs moment near the end.
* TranquilFury: In the sequel, after Viscount Mabrey has staged a humiliating accident while Mia was inspecting the royal guard, Joe confronts him, having quickly figured out he was the one behind it. Joe never once raises his voice, but you can definitely hear the anger in it.
-->'''Joe:''' Viscount, you may not be aware of what my job entails as the Royal Head of Security. My job is to protect the crown. To make sure no harm comes to the crown. To step in when someone toys with the crown's emotions, you see.\\
'''Viscount Mabrey:''' [[DoubleEntendre I think the entire country understands how well you cater to the crown's emotions]].\\
'''Joe:''' (''{{Beat}} as his expression turns stoic'') [[PapaWolf If you hurt my girl, you will answer directly to me]], and whatever crimes I commit against you, remember; I have diplomatic immunity in 46 countries. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking Including Puerto Rico]].\\
'''Viscount Mabrey:''' Sir, you will find that the word "fear" is not in my vocabulary!\\
'''Joe:''' Perhaps... but it's in your eyes.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Clarisse and Joe. If Viscount Mabrey's comment is anything to go by, this has been going on for quite some time. They finally resolve it by getting married in the end.
%%* VillainousBreakdown: In the sequel, with Viscount Mabrey. Five words: “LOVELY ON A POSTAGE STAMP?!”
* WhyWasteAWedding: Played straight [[spoiler:when Mia and Andrew call off their wedding at the altar, Mia convinces Clarisse and Joe to ''finally'' tie the knot. The former sheepishly says "you were all dressed" to the confused wedding guests.]]
