It has officially been 20 years (don't worry, we're all in denial) since Julie Andrews first graced our screens as Queen Clarisse Renaldi in The Princess Diaries.

In honor of The Princess Diaries' 20th birthday, here are 14 of Julie Andrews' most iconic lines and moments from the first film.

1.When she lowkey trolled Mia's word choice.

Mia said, "My mom said you wanted to talk to me about something...so, shoot" to which Clarisse responed, "Oh, before I...shoot,' I wanted to give you something"

2.And then was continuously baffled by early-2000s teen slang.

Mia sayd, "Me? A--A princess? Shut UP" to which Clarisse says indignantly, "I beg your pardon"

Honestly, one of the most memorable scenes in movie history.

3.When she discreetly wiped the grime off of Helen's mug.

14.And finally, when Mia showed up late, soaking wet, and severely underdressed to the ball and Clarisse couldn't have been prouder.

Her eyes are literally oozing love and pride.

In summary, Julie Andrews can do no wrong. But as Queen Clarisse, she was on a different level.
