Anne Hathaway, the iconic star of the beloved Disney franchise, has dropped some tantalizing hints about the much-anticipated third installment of The Princess Diaries. In an exclusive interview with V Magazine, she revealed that the project is moving forward, albeit with no official announcements just yet.
“It’s all looking very promising,” Hathaway teased. “That’s all I can say. There’s nothing to announce yet. But we’re in a good place.”
The Princess Diaries series, which captured hearts worldwide with its charming tale of Mia Thermopolis’ royal transformation, has been a cherished part of pop culture since its debut two decades ago. With the last film, Princess Diaries: Royal Engagement, hitting theaters in 2004, enthusiasts have eagerly awaited news of a sequel.
In addition to updates on The Princess Diaries 3, Hathaway also addressed speculation about another beloved film in her repertoire: The Devil Wears Prada. While fans have clamored for a sequel, Hathaway expressed doubts about its feasibility in today’s digital age.
“Although we all adore the idea of a sequel, the landscape has shifted dramatically since the original film,” she explained.
“The dynamics have changed with technology playing a significant role. Perhaps it’s time for us to explore new ventures together.”
What’s Known About The Princess Diaries 3 So Far?
Reports emerged in November 2022 that Aadrita Mukerji, known for her work on Supergirl and Reacher, is penning the script for the third Princess Diaries installment. Debra Martin Chase, the producer behind the first two films, is also onboard for the project. However, concrete details have been scarce since then.
Chris Pine, who portrayed Mia’s romantic interest Nicholas Devereaux in the second film, has expressed enthusiasm about reprising his role. “Count me in,” Pine declared. “Just give me a call or shoot me an email.”
Sandra Oh, known for her role as Vice Principal Gupta in the original film, has likewise signaled her interest in returning for the threequel. “I’m ready for the Queen,” Oh exclaimed. “Bring Gupta back—I’m eager to see her rise!”
Reflecting on the enduring popularity of her character, Oh shared a humorous anecdote about a surprising encounter with a fan. “It’s remarkable how Gupta’s scene continues to resonate,” she mused. “Even unexpected fans, like a young frat boy I encountered in Chicago, still quote lines from the film.”
With the pieces falling into place and excitement mounting, fans can’t help but anticipate the triumphant return of Mia Thermopolis and her enchanting world in The Princess Diaries 3. Stay tuned for further updates on this highly anticipated cinematic journey!
