Developing your pageant interview skills should be a top priority.

After all, it's where pageants are won.

I believe that every contestant should leave her pageant interview feeling proud of her performance.

But sometimes it can be hard to know what it takes to set yourself up for a good pageant interview.

So this week I thought it would be fun to review the movie Princess Diaries.

As I’m sure you’re familiar Amelia gets the shock of her life when she finds out that she’s a princess.

She then undergoes princess etiquette classes and some of the things she learns are transferable to pageantry!

So enjoy 9 pageant tips from Princess Diaries.

1.Present yourself like a titleholder.
