Following two successful Princess Diaries films, devoted fans have been clamoring for more — but does the tiara still fit?
“There is a script for the third movie. There is a script,” Anne Hathaway, who played Princess Mia Thermopolis in the 2001 flick, revealed during a January 2019 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “I want to do it. Julie [Andrews] wants to do it. Debra Martin Chase, our producer, wants to do it. We all really want it to happen.”
Late director Garry Marshall previously adapted Meg Cabot’s bestselling Princess Diaries novels for the big screen. In the first film, Hathaway’s Mia is an ordinary — albeit unpopular — teenager who discovers she’s the princess of a small European country and meets her estranged grandmother (Andrews) for the first time. A sequel, called The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, premiered in 2004.
Hathaway announced in October 2024 that she’s reprising her role in a third movie — which Disney has greenlit — and hopes to begin filming in 2025.
