It is sung by two talented actresses: Julie Andrews, who plays Queen Clarisse, and Raven-Symoné, who plays Princess Asana.

About the Song

"Your Crowning Glory" is a pop song that lasts about 2 minutes and 35 seconds. It was released in 2004 by Walt Disney Records. The song was written by Lorraine Feather and Lawrence Grossman. It is part of the movie's soundtrack, which is called The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.

Julie Andrews' Singing Return

In 1997, Julie Andrews had a throat surgery that affected her singing voice. For a while, she could not sing in the same way she used to. Because of this, when her characters in movies needed to sing, older recordings of her voice were sometimes used. "Your Crowning Glory" was a big moment because it showed her singing again in a new film.

In the Movie

In The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, the main character, Princess Amelia (Anne Hathaway), remembers this song from her childhood. As she gets ready to become an adult and possibly marry, she asks her grandmother, Queen Clarisse, to sing it. Queen Clarisse sings the song at a fun sleepover party for Amelia and her friends. Later, Princess Asana joins in to sing the second part of the song.
