American Princess is a reality television series directed by Leslie Garvin and hosted by Mark Durden-Smith and Catherine Oxenberg. It was broadcast in 2 seasons, in 2005 and 2007. Many celebrities made guest appearances on various episodes. There is also an Australian version called Australian Princess which features similar judges such as Paul Burell who also appears in both versions.
American Princess is based on George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion and Alan Jay Lerner's My Fair Lady in a modern setting, where twenty American women who are average, plain, and rather ill-mannered, are taken to London, England to master the finer arts of British society and be crowned "American Princess" and earn valuable prizes. But first, the women have to learn how to eat dinner, handle cutlery, serve tea, walk in high heels, dance, and act as a proper royal should be.
