Princess Diaries 3: Excitement Builds as Sequel Seems Likely
Por August Tales
Genovia, a fictional country made famous by The Princess Diaries, has gained a loyal following over the years. Its young and vibrant monarch, Mia Thermopolis, quickly found a place in our hearts in the early 2000s. The movie’s sequel, ‘The Princess Diaries 2: A Royal Engagement’, further fueled our obsession. Audiences worldwide were smitten by the unconventional royal love story between Anne Hathaway and Chris Pine. Julie Andrews’ portrayal of tough yet caring Queen Regent, Clarisse Renaldi, only made us fall deeper. And now, it’s time to rejoice. There are strong indications that The Princess Diaries 3 is underway.
Disney’s Royal Comeback
The Hollywood Reporter affirms Aadrita Mukerji will write the script for Disney’s third Princess Diaries movie. Meanwhile, Adele Lim (celebrated for ‘Joy Ride’) is slated to direct the film. “As a diehard fan of the original Princess Diaries, I’m thrilled to help reincarnate this cherished saga. We anticipate the movie’s profound themes of female empowerment, joy, and mentorship resonating with global audiences,” Lim confessed.
A Court without its Queen?
However, don’t get your hopes up for a reappearance of the regal Julie Andrews. She expressed doubt over returning as Queen Regent, Clarisse Renaldi. “It’s probably improbable now,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “There were sequel talks years ago. However, nothing substantial materialized. I believe it has now passed me by,” she added. So, we might have to brace ourselves for a Princess Diaries devoid of Clarisse.
Other Royals are Aboard
Consequently, despite Andrews’ absence, other cast members seem eager to return. Chris Pine is particularly excited about a third movie. “I am game. Just give me a call or an email,” he told Entertainment Tonight. Interestingly, though yet to be contacted, Pine has intriguing ideas about the potential storyline.
The Princess is Ready
Anne Hathaway also has shown enthusiasm about reprising her role for The Princess Diaries 3. In April 2024, she mentioned, “We are at a good place at the moment. There’s nothing official yet, but we are hopeful.” She also told Entertainment Tonight, “I would more than just be interested, I actually am rooting for it.”
Ready for New Adventures
There is still no word on the plot of The Princess Diaries 3. However, Disney may throw in a princess daughter or similar character in the mix. Fans are hoping for a storyline that maintains the light-hearted yet emotional tone of the previous two films.
A Queen’s New Era
Despite all the uncertainty, fans eagerly await a grown-up Queen Mia. Not to forget, endless possibilities of a Chris Pine comeback. Imagine the iconic couple recreating their whimsical palace fountain dip! It’s not impossible, Pine is confirmed for Star Trek 4, so a return for The Princess Diaries 3 is equally plausible.
While We Wait
While we hope for official confirmations soon, let’s spend our leisure rewatching the classics. After all, true fans never tire of timeless royal romance.
