Princesses just want to have fun. This spring, Mia's determined to have a good time, despite the fact that the student government over which she presides is suddenly broke.

And speaking of engagements. Mia's gorgeous longtime boyfriend, Michael, managed to clear both their schedules just long enough for an exotic (and very private) Caribbean island interlude where he popped the question! Of course, Mia didn't need to consult her diary to know that her answer was a royal oui.
