Continuity mistake: 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. (00:27:05)

Continuity mistake: 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. (00:38:35)

Continuity mistake: When Princess Mia and Nicholas duck into a closet to finish discussing the "lie-dance," we see Nicholas reach across to turn off the closet light. As he touches the light switch, we see he has a wristwatch on. But the very next shot is a close-up of him actually twisting the switch, and either he has no watch on or it is now under the sleeve. (00:33:50)

Continuity mistake: When Mia takes the chicken out of the basket and it gets loose, we see the chicken run away, followed by Mia running after the chicken, and finally the palace guard falling amid a number of boxed, gift-wrapped presents. The only boxed presents that were visible in any of the previous shots were already on the floor, and there were none anywhere close to the palace guard that he could have knocked down as he fell.

Trivia: In the opening scene where Mia is introduced and waves to the crowd from atop a staircase, (wearing a big red dress) she accidentally flings a bracelet off her wrist, where a footman catches it. That is the same footman who catches the snail Julia Roberts flings in Pretty Woman, and he uses the same line "It happens all the time".

Question: The movie is supposed to be three years after the first movie, which would make her 18. But on all the trailers, they say she is 21. Why is this?

Answer: I have visited a lot of websites and they all say the movie is supposed to be taking place 5 years after the first one and that would put her at about 21 since it should be a little after her birthday. Don't assume because this movie's made 3 years after the first that that's how long after the first one it's meant to be set.
