The Prince and Me is a 2004 romantic comedy film directed by Martha Coolidge, and starring Julia Stiles, Luke Mably, and Ben Miller, with Miranda Richardson, James Fox, and Alberta Watson. Though its title recalls that of The King and I, the film is a loose adaptation of The Student Prince, a 1954 MGM musical, which was in turn an adaptation of the 1924 operetta, The Student Prince which was in its turn an adaptation of the German play, Alt Heidelberg.
The film focuses on Paige Morgan, a pre-med college student in Wisconsin, who is pursued by a prince posing as a normal college student.
The film marks the return of Martha Coolidge to the big screen after a 7 year absence, and her service as the first female president of the Directors Guild of America. It also features a cameo by Eddie Irvine, a retired Irish Formula One driver.
The film has three sequels, starring Kam Heskin for the part of Paige Morgan instead of Julia Stiles: The Prince and Me 2: The Royal Wedding in 2006, The Prince and Me 3: Royal Honeymoon in 2008 and The Prince and Me 4: The Elephant Adventure in 2009.
