14 times Fat Louie from “The Princess Diaries” expressed what we were all thinking

All hail Amelia “Mia” Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi, prinCESS of Genovia! The Princess Diaries is still important after all these years. Anne Hathaway, Julie Andrews, Heather Matarazzo, Mandy Moore, and Caroline Goodall (and author Meg Cabot, of course) all played a part in creating such an honest and real movie for teen girls.

And even though Mia is a princess, she’s still so relatable. Mia is awkward but smart. She has the best support system: a hardworking single mom, a deeply caring grandmother, and a fiercely independent best friend. Mia encounters mean girls and the “popular” crowd, but they help her realize the importance of embracing her true self. We think it’s pretty important for teen girls to see the invisible girl become a princess. (Also, was Michael Moscovitz Mia’s true love? Discuss.)

But one of the most relatable characters in The Princess Diaries isn’t a human — he’s Mia’s black and white cat, Fat Louie.

Even though Fat Louie can’t talk, he just gets it. His facial expressions speak volumes, and we can tell he always knows exactly what’s going on. Now that The Princess Diaries 3 officially has a script, we sincerely hope it includes a role for Fat Louie. He’s a star!
