Margaret Delacourt

Margaret Delacourt is the Duchess and later Queen of Montenaro. She is one of the main protagonists in The Princess Switch and The Princess Switch: Switched Again. Margaret is arranged to marry Prince Edward as her duty as the Duchess of Montenaro. However, she is drawn to an ordinary life without royalty. She is portrayed by Vanessa Hudgens.

Throughout The Princess Switch
When Margaret runs into Stacy at a baking contest, she is shocked to discover that Stacy looks exactly like her. Margaret convinces Stacy to switch places with her for a few days so she can experience a normal life away from the spotlight she despises.

Margaret takes Stacy's place and starts a friendship with Kevin and his daughter, Olivia. Margaret, Olivia, and Kevin explore the town and start a snowball fight. Kevin is surprised to see that "Stacy" has suddenly become spontaneous. When Kevin forgets to bring toothpaste, he comes into Margaret's room one night to ask to borrow hers while shirtless. Margaret is enticed.

Margaret finds herself falling for Kevin, and they even share a kiss. However, Margaret tells Kevin to forget about it as she is only masquerading as Stacy, and that she feels she must fulfill her duty as Duchess and marry the Prince.

Stacy and Margaret switch back, but they are both crestfallen as Stacy has fallen in love with Edward and Margaret has fallen in love with Kevin.

However, Frank De Luca, King George's assistant, spots Stacy and Margaret together in the suite. Shocked and pleased, Frank takes pictures of the two, planning to expose them. He takes the pictures to the King, but Queen Caroline intercepts. She finds out that Margaret has a doppelgänger: Stacy. Connecting the dots, Queen Caroline figures that Stacy and Margaret switched places, and that for the last few days, the Duchess of Montenaro has been, in actuality, Stacy. Instead of presenting the awards at the Belgravian baking contest, she proposes that Margaret and Prince Edward to do so. Margaret tries to back out, as she knows that Stacy will be there and that they will be exposed, but the Queen insists.

As Margaret is getting ready for the wedding, Mrs. Donatelli comes in and gives Margaret a necklace that Edward had gifted to Stacy and that Stacy wanted Margaret to have. Embellished on the locket bearing the Belgravian royal family crest are the words "Truth, Honor, and Love". Noticing that Margaret does not look like a happy bride-to-be, Mrs. Donatelli advises her that the locket says nothing about duty, which is Margaret’s only reason for marrying the Prince. After her conversation with Mrs. Donatelli, Margaret decides to tell Edward about the switch.

Margaret and Edward arrive at the baking competition as Stacy and Kevin are announced to have won first place. Since Margaret is wearing sunglasses, her uncanny resemblance to Stacy goes unnoticed. When Stacy and Kevin go onstage to receive their medal, Margaret removes her sunglasses. Kevin is left stunned and reeling at her resemblance to Stacy. The four go backstage so Margaret and Stacy can explain.

Margaret and Stacy admit that they switched places. Margaret confesses to Kevin that she has fallen in love with him, and the two share a kiss.

A year later, Stacy and Edward marry. Stacy throws the bouquet and Margaret catches it, implying that she will be the next to get married. Kevin tells Margaret to hold on to the bouquet and wait for New Year’s, implying that he will propose on New Year’s Day.
