In the series, Michelle played as Lizelle Gonzales, an ordinary student in the Philippines who makes a living from dressing up like a princess, turns out to be a real princess.

Lizelle’s dream to be with her father crumbled upon learning that he’s already dead. But what really turned her life around was the discovery that she has royal blood! She will meet Ethan (played by Bret), a rich diplomat and the grandson of the man that destroyed her and her father’s lives.

Lizelle accepts the challenge of being a princess to clear her father’s name but it won’t be an easy task as Ethan is also dead set to prevent the restoration of the monarchy because this would mean giving up the fortune he grew up with.

Amid their petty quarrels and disagreements, something unexpected will happen between the two “mortal enemies”—and that’s falling in love with each other.

What will Lizelle choose, her duty as princess or her feelings for Ethan? Can Ethan give up everything for Lizelle?

The series is fresh from the huge success of Glory Jane starring the mall princess Cherryz Mendoza, which will already aired in the pre-primetime slot at 5:45pm before Express Balita, IBC-13’s adaptation of Glory Jane will air weekdays at 8:30pm for 45-minutes. “For the most, the local version stayed faithful to the original materials save for very few tweaks which the Philippine producers felt was important in order to make the series more relatable for Pinoy viewers,” says Boots Anson-Roa – IBC President and CEO.

With its perfect balance of comedy, drama and romantic love, My Princess promises to heat up the season with 100% kilig and romance in the romantic love story. Directed by Mikey del Rosario and Ricky Rivero, with the stellar cast that also includes Dimples Romana, Tonton Gutierrez, Sofia Andres, the love team of Alexandra Macanan and BJ Forbes, Maybelyn dela Cruz, Jay Manalo, Sunshine Dizon, Fretzie Bercede, Nathan Lopez, CJ Navato, Nathaniel Britt, Aria Cariño and Paul Salas.
