Mistake Continuity: During the parade scene, there is a man with a full beard/moustache (sort of a reddish brown) with a black hat, white shirt and black jacket that I believe we first see handing Genovian flags to Charlotte before she tries to get Viscount Mabrey to wave one. This man then goes to stand behind the head of the black man sitting next to Viscount Mabrey. Next, after the parade starts, we see Elsie and Miss Genovia at a table and right above and a little to the left of Elsie's head we the same bearded man. We see some parade shots and then another shot of Elsie with the bearded. Then we see Carolina shots and the parade being stopped. The next shot is of Andrew, Nicholas and Viscount Mabrey and just above and a little to the left of Mabrey's head is our bearded man. Then Elsie ends her commentary with the bearded man's chest and flag in visible in the background. Unless he is a twin like our palace guard, he certainly gets around very fast.

Mistake Continuity: After Princess Mia says, "That's enough flaming ones for now", Brigitte and Brigitta nearly get hit by another arrow. Then when Nicholas shows up, they are holding fire extinguishers, even though Princess Mia are using regular arrows and has said no more flaming ones.

Mistake Continuity: When Princess Mia is being crowned Queen, we see Charlotte at the top of the left set of stairs, the ones Queen Clarisse just descended. We see Charlotte's legs at the top of the stairs until they go out of frame as Mia turns around to stand in front of throne. The next shot is of Nicholas and CHARLOTTE. Wow, how did she get down there so fast?

Mistake Continuity: After Princess Mia and Nicholas fall into the fountain, we see Nicholas come up out of the water and he is just a little to the right of the statue and his tie is not over his shoulder. The scene switches to Princess Mia's head emerging from the water. When she looks over toward Nicholas, the shot shows him now way over to the right and his tie is now over his shoulder.

Mistake Continuity: When Princess Mia is being "scolded" by Queen Clarisse in the Queen's suite, Princess Mia is reclining on a pillow the same color as the sofa and another pillow that is white/cream with fringe. The white pillow with fringe is partially up on the other, darker sofa pillow. Then we see a couple of shots of Princess Mia talking to her grandmother and the white, fringed pillow is flat down on the sofa under Princess Mia, not on the other darker, sofa pillow. After Princess Mia leaves, we see a shot of the sofa and the white, fringed pillow is now back up, partially on the darker pillow of the sofa.

Mistake Continuity: When Princess Mia and Andrew are at the seashore, we see Andrew with two cameras; one around his neck and the second across one shoulder. When they are running after Princess Mia's scarf, we still see the cameras. But when they are flat down on the sand and Andrew wraps the now recovered scarf back around Princess Mia's neck, Andrew has no cameras.

Mistake Continuity: When Lionel is speaking to the Queen, she introduces him to the housekeeper and her two ladies' maids; they are standing in front of the window directly to the right of the Queen. Lionel leans over to tell the Queen he would take a bullet for her and she says that interns don't even want to get her tea. Joseph grabs Lionel and we see the window where the housekeeper and maids were just standing but they have disappeared.

Mistake Continuity: Right after Princess Mia and Andrew meet and are walking on the beach, a shot of them shows Princess Mia's scarf around her neck from the front with the ends blowing very visibly out to the back. Then it cuts to the press corps and then back to Princess Mia and Andrew. You can see her scarf is now on wrapped around the back of her neck with the ends her coat. Then we see her hair move first as her scarf is pulled (blown off?) from a string or wire pulls it off from the back.

Mistake Continuity: When the Queen is listening to the problems of the Genovians, we see a shot of the other Genovians waiting in line for their turn to speak with the Queen. The next person who speaks to the Queen is Jacqueline, but we didn't see her in line, and after that is Tiny Duval, but we didn't see him in line either.

Mistake Continuity: When Gretchen is telling Nicholas that his uncle is up to something, her robe changes from purple to blue and back to purple in three different shots.

Mistake Plot hole: When Jo is getting to walk down the aisle with Queen Clarisse, he hands Shades his top hat and then pops his ear piece right off, in a split second, and puts it in the top hat. In the previous scenes, Princess Mia has Lionel's ear piece stretched from the back of his neck, across his jaw and around his chin and then stretched to her ear but it hasn't popped out, while Queen Clarisse jerks Charlotte with her when she goes to listen to Princess Mia.

Mistake Continuity: After Andrew kisses Mia, in the shots facing Mia, her hair is blowing in the wind. In the shots from behind her, there's no wind.

Mistake Continuity: Near the beginning, at Princess Mia's birthday ball, we see a man in the purple and gold palace attire serving champagne on a tray downstairs. The next shot in the scene has Queen Clarisse introducing Princess Mia and then we see two men dressed in purple and gold ready to open the doors for Princess Mia's entrance - but one of the two men is the same man, who just seconds ago, was downstairs serving champagne.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Nicholas asks if he can help Princess Mia with her archery, he has her take her stance, then says to lower her elbow. We see Nicholas reach up to put his hand on her shoulder (his right hand is seen through Mia's forearm and shoulder because her elbow is still up so high). Nicholas then says anchor her right hand to her mouth, to touch her mouth. Then he says to relax her hand on the bow as he reaches up to put his left hand around her bow hand. We then see Nicholas reaching up to put his right hand on Mia's shoulder again but this time we see it over the top of her forearm because her elbow has been lowered considerably.

Mistake Continuity: When Princess Mia is climbing down "vine" to meet Nicholas, we see SG Lionel and SG Shades playing chess with a monitor showing video feeds from security cameras. The one that shows Princess Mia has her higher than the window she is supposed to be climbing out of (there isn't one higher), the window isn't open like it showed in previous shots and she has on a huge white garment of some type that is past her feet (Princess Mia's sweater is gray and comes to her knees). Obviously, the picture we see on the security guards' monitor is not the same one that Princess Mia is shown to have climbed out.

Mistake Continuity: As Princess Mia is coming down the aisle of the church, she starts to hesitate about three rows from the back. As we see her from the front of the church, she is very near the back when she stops to address everyone. But as she hands her bridal bouquet to the gentleman, he is close to halfway down the aisle and we can see a woman in a pink hat next to (behind) him and a woman in a lavender hat right behind her (who is then right behind the bridal bouquet man). Behind them, down the aisle towards the back, is a woman in a blue hat and farther back is a woman in a pink hat. But the next shot is a long shot from the front and the man holding the bridal bouquet is very near the back and there are not enough rows to hold the women in all the different colored hats.

Mistake Continuity: During the parade, Joe in seen riding on the back of the carriage that Queen Clarisse and Princess Mia are riding in. When Princess Mia stops the carriage, Joe gets off the back and is down on the street. We see several shots of Joe down on the pavement watching Princess Mia as she is talking to the orphans. As Princess Mia is telling them how to be a princess, you can see Joe in the background and he is up on the back of the carriage again. As the drum roll is announced, we see Joe get back up on the carriage, again.

Mistake Continuity: When the Queen is being served chocolate cake by Nicholas, the blob of cream is smaller in the close-up than in the following wide shot. In the last shot of the scene, it's even bigger, without anyone touching the cake.

Mistake Continuity: When we see Asana mattress surfing, the mattress she comes down the slope has no label on the front. But when she reaches the bottom, there is a label (or two) on the top front center.

Mistake Continuity: In the scene where Nicholas is telling his uncle that he was wrong, that Princess Mia has found a suitable husband within a week, the scene shows Viscount Mabrey pulling down his vest and then adjusting his tie with his left hand. His hand is still up on his tie when the shot switches to Nicholas saying, "a husband within a week." The shot switches immediately back to Mabrey and his left hand is down to his side and not even visible. Don't think he could be in that pose so quickly.
