The Princess Diaries is a great little family movie (I think it holds up so well!) and in my opinion Anne Hathway was perfectly cast.
If you look at imbd trivia there is a looooong list of actresses who were allegedly considered for the part, but I don't believe a lot of them (like a 27 year old Juliette Lewis being offered and turning down the movie...). I do believe these three below because a producer of the film specifically named them as actresses who auditoned.
Would you have preferred any of them over Anne, ONTD?

Scarlett Johansson
January Jones
Emmy Rossum
