Julie Andrews Answers What We’ve ALL Been Wondering About the Third ‘Princess Diaries’ Movie

Our return to Genovia might end up being a bittersweet one. Disney has been on a roll lately in revisiting some of its movie franchises: there have been a ton of live-action remakes, and, most recently, we got sequels to both Hocus Pocus and Enchanted!

Fans of the original Princess Diaries movies, though, have been waiting for a sequel, and recently, it seemed like it might happen. However, a third Princess Diaries movie may not feature queen of Genovia actress Julie Andrews.

We previously learned that Disney was working on a third movie in the franchise, with a script being written by Aadrita Mukerji, who also worked on Quantum Leap and Supergirl. In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, though, Andrews commented on the possibility of her being a part of that project.

She said, “I think we know that it’s probably not going to be possible. It was talked about very shortly after two [The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement] came out, but it’s now how many years since then? And I am that much older and Annie the princess, or queen, is so much older. And I am not sure where it would float or run. In terms of us doing it, I doubt that now.”

Although the third movie is reportedly a continuation of the story from the first two movies, Anne Hathaway, who portrayed Mia in the films, does not currently have a deal to return to the franchise, although there is hope for her to do so — and she has been vocal in her support for a third Princess Diaries movie.

We’ll just have to wait and see what happens when it comes to the third movie, but fans may not be as interested if Hathaway and Andrews do not reprise their roles in some way in the sequel. We’ll keep our eye out for more details and share them when we have them!

In the meantime, you can stream the first two Princess Diaries movies on Disney+. Speaking of which, here’s everything that is coming to the streaming platform this month.
