Answer

The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, unlike the first one, takes place mostly in the fiction European country of Genovia. Per Genovian law, a princess must be married to assume the crown, so Mia must choose a husband. There's a backround story about a member of parliament trying to steal the crown, but it ultimately doesn't matter TOO much. Mia uses fake wooden leg to simulate the appearance of riding side-saddle, and her love interest Nicholas is played by Chris Pine.
