Princess Diaries Father Death Explained Author 25 Years Later

Meg Cabot, author of The Princess Diaries, finally addressed a major plot point from her source material a quarter-century after the original book's release.

This explanation apparently sparked some "wait, what did he actually do?" reactions from fans revisiting the story. It's the kind of behind-the-scenes lore drop that makes readers go back and reread everything with fresh eyes.
