What do we know about Princess Diaries 3?

At present, details about the upcoming movie installment remain scarce. The actress Anne Hathaway, who featured in the initial film and its follow-up, has provided encouraging insights on the production throughout the years, but hasn’t disclosed many specifics. Regrettably, Julie Andrews — who portrayed Mia Thermopolis’ grandmother in the series — has expressed doubts about her participation in the third movie.

In 2001, “The Princess Diaries” movie debuted, featuring Anne Hathaway as a U.S. teenager who eventually discovers her royal lineage to the European kingdom of Genovia. This film was adapted from Meg Cabot’s book with the same title and Julie Andrews co-starred in it. The release received widespread praise, launching Hathaway into stardom and grossing over $165 million at the box office, far surpassing expectations due to its family-friendly rating and theme.
