In the movie "Shrek 2", where do Princess Fiona's parents live?

The story behind the answer

In Shrek 2, Princess Fiona’s parents live in the kingdom of Far Far Away.

Fiona’s parents are King Harold and Queen Lillian, and Far Far Away is their royal realm. After Shrek and Fiona return from their honeymoon, the newlyweds receive an invitation to visit the kingdom for a formal celebration of their marriage. Shrek travels there with Fiona and Donkey, beginning the film’s central conflict.

The kingdom is depicted as a fairy-tale version of a wealthy, glamorous city, complete with a grand palace and a royal court. Its polished appearance contrasts sharply with Shrek’s swamp and with the hostility Fiona’s parents initially show toward their daughter’s ogre husband.

A common mix-up is to identify Fiona’s home as the castle from the first Shrek film. That castle belongs to Lord Farquaad and is where Fiona was imprisoned. In Shrek 2, Fiona’s family home is the palace in Far Far Away, where King Harold and Queen Lillian rule.
