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.

Continuity mistake: In the chicken scene, as we see Tiny starting to hand the chicken in a basket to Princess Mia, in the background are Brigitte and Brigitta. They are behind the palace guard and to the left of Charlotte and the housekeeper. When we hear Princess Mia say, "May I?", the scene show Charlotte (and the housekeeper) but now Brigitte and Brigitta are behind Charlotte.

Continuity mistake: When the newly engaged royal couple is presented to the Genovian public, they walk out onto a balcony between two royal palace horn players. Just as the royal couple begins to wave, the horn players lower their horns. The view is switched to a long shot of the front as the royal couple is waving and the horns are back up. They remain up near the players mouths for the rest of the scene even though they don't play anymore.

Continuity mistake: When Viscount Mabrey and Nicholas are at Mabrey's home, plotting Nicholas' next move, Mabrey is sitting on a sofa with his legs crossed at the knee and a magazine is across his lap. Mabrey's right hand is holding the top of the magazine. Mabrey points his left index finger at Nicholas and asks if he remembers who his father named him after. The shot switches to Nicholas saying that he was named after Grandfather Nicholas. It then goes immediately back to Mabrey starting to get up but now, in just a second or two, Mabrey's feet are both on the floor and the magazine is folded up and held in his right hand.

Continuity mistake: 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.

Continuity mistake: When Queen Clarisse is getting ready to mattress "fly", we see Asana, Lilly and Princess Mia lined up front to back from the post at the top of the slide to the back which has Mia near the doorway by Queen Clarisse, just as Asana asks, "Is she really going to do this?" Then as Queen Clarisse jumps on mattress, we see a shot of Asana, Lilly and Princess Mia lined up across the view, with Asana on the stairs and probably down a step, Lilly mostly behind the balloons and Princess Mia between post and the Queen, almost where Asana was before. After the Queen successfully reaches the bottom standing, the trio are back to their previous position, cheering the Queen.

Continuity mistake: When Ben and Riley go down the smuggler's hold in Charlotte, Riley's bag gets set on fire, the flap side. But in any of the following shots where we see his bag, it is not burnt.

Continuity mistake: When Riley and Abigail are running through the tunnel, trying to get away from Shaw and Viktor, we see Riley running into people and getting knocked around and held up. We see a lady in a red suit go by and then there are two men in suits, the one closest to the camera has a medium brown suit on, over the collar salt and pepper hair and glasses whilst the man farthest from the camera has a medium gray/blue suit on and very short brown hair. The next shot shows Riley trying to go between these two men only now, the one nearest the camera has a very dark charcoal suit on, short white hair and no glasses whilst the other man is wearing a black suit, has greyish brown hair and is much older than before.

Continuity mistake: When Sadusky has Ben handcuffed across the desk from him, there is nothing on the desk directly between Sadusky and Ben except Sadusky's coffee mug, a gray thing that is about mid-way between Ben and Sadusky, and a white spiral notebook to the right of the coffee mug. Then Ben says, "Ian still ended up with the Declaration of Independence," and as the shot switches from Ben to Sadusky saying, "Because of you," we see the glasses Ben found at Independence Hall appear on the desk in front of Sadusky between the gray thing and himself. Then as Sadusky says, "Someone's got to go to prison, Ben," and Ben says, "Yeah," two short stacks of papers appear on the desk in front of Sadusky and the glasses changes position as well.

Continuity mistake: When we see Ian's men pull up over the grate that they are going to go down through to get to the National Archive, we see the street wet so it had to have rained, been hosed down, etc. But when one of Ian's men drops a large bag down, it whirls up a huge cloud of dust when it lands. This shouldn't have happened because there was nothing over the tunnel but a grate and some water would have gone down the tunnel, wetting the dust.

Continuity mistake: When Abigail runs down the aisle trying to find a hiding place from Shaw and Viktor, she jumps over a small space between some meat display coolers. In that shot the "butcher lady" can be seen behind a large roll of brown paper to the right of the scene. To the left of the space, behind a roll of white paper, is a second butcher. This second butcher is right next to where Abigail lands and is sitting when the first butcher lady says: "If you're not a steak, you don't belong here." But there is no one near Abigail when the camera show her sitting there, talking to the butcher lady.

Continuity mistake: 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.

Continuity mistake: 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.

Continuity mistake: 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?

Sheri Hartman

Continuity mistake: When Princess Mia stops the parade and goes over to talk to Carolina, we see Carolina's hair from a back, side view and it is pretty messy. Then we see a front shot and her hair is very neatly tucked behind her ear with her braid hanging neatly by itself. Then we see a quick back shot as Princess Mia asks the boys' names that are messing with Carolina and we can't see her ear but the hair over it is very messy. Back to a front shot and it is neat again until Carolina tells Princess Mia that the boys were tugging on her braid and she demonstrates by pulling on her braid. (00:55:40)

Continuity mistake: After Nicholas has kissed Princess Mia in front of the fountain, we can see the front of his hair is messed up, probably from the brim of her hat. As they walk around the fountain, his hair is still messed up. As the scene angle changes as Nicholas says, "Maybe I am," his hair is now fixed and not messed up as in previous shots.

Sheri Hartman

Continuity mistake: 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.

Continuity mistake: 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.

Continuity mistake: 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.

Continuity mistake: 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.
