Not only are Lilly and Michael Moscovitz openly Jewish in the book, but it is a recurring theme. How did I not notice this the first time?! Um, hello - why haven’t we discussed this before?!Īs it turns out, “The Princess Diaries” is full of specific, fun Jewish references, mainly about the Moscovitz siblings - Mia’s best friend and unexpected love interest, respectively - and their family. ![]()
