The revelation is a shock, but Sofia is eventually convinced by her mother's reassurance that everything will be all right. The mother and daughter duo travel to the Kingdom of Enchancia, where King Roland II, the king himself, awaits them.

Sofia soon finds herself settling into her new life as a member of the royal family. Alongside her mother and stepfather, the king, she is also introduced to her new step-siblings, Amber and James. Amber is a spoiled princess who takes pride in being a part of the royal family, while James is a kind and gentle prince who instantly warms up to Sofia. As Sofia navigates this new world, she begins to discover her own unique qualities that make her special.

With her new step-family by her side, Sofia begins to learn how to become a princess, attending etiquette classes, learning royal protocol, and participating in elaborate royal functions. These new experiences open her eyes to the beauty and magic of the world of Enchancia. At the heart of the story is the bond between Sofia and her mother. Throughout the movie, Sofia's mother serves as her guide, confidante, and role model, as they explore their new life together.
