Once a Princess is a 2014 Filipino romantic drama film directed by Laurice Guillen. It was based on Angel Bautista's novel with the same name and produced by Star Cinema, Regal Films and Skylight Films.

## Plot

Erin Almeda (Erich Gonzales) comes from a rich family and is always known by her nickname "Princess". She breaks up with her geeky high school classmate Leonard Jamieson (Enchong Dee) by pretending that she was only using him after a family crisis that required the help of the influential family of his high school rival Damian (JC de Vera). Leonard is driven to attempt suicide, tormenting Erin with guilt. When Leonard wakes up, he has Erin thrown out of his hospital room.

7 years later, Leonard, now a wealthy executive, employs Erin, now a financially struggling housewife who is married to a now disreputable Damian. After Leonard initially orders her to do excessive tasks, they slowly rekindle their relationship before Erin explains the truth on why she left him. Learning of this and realizing how miserable her life has been since then, Leonard urges Erin to resume their love, which Erin is reluctant to do. Damian later discovers Leonard and Erin's renewed relationship and tries to kill Erin in an act of rage, only to be stopped by Leonard. Erin and Damian mutually break up peacefully afterwards, and Erin becomes together with Leonard once again.
