Programming note: A princess is discovered on The Disney Channel on Friday 29 April on Prince William's Royal Wedding day.


You're reading it here first.

On The Disney Channel (DStv 303) a princess will be discovered on Friday 29 April... on the same day as the real-life Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

There is a new heiress to the throne for the small kingdom of Genovia and her name is Mia Thermopolis. There's just one technical detail ... she's an ordinary schoolgirl in America and she has no idea that she's actually royalty yet.

To celebrate the Royal Wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton on Friday 29 April, The Disney Channel is showing The Princess Diaries with Anne Hathaway at 18:45.

Of course on this special day in April there's a little more fairytale fun. In A Kind of Magic at 14:55 fairies and ogres can't get married, so Willow the fairy and her husband the ogre Gregore have no choice to emigrate and settle in the real word with their children Tom and Cindy.
