Princess Diaries 3 confirmed under development

15 Comments | Anne Hathaway, Genovia, Julie Andrews, Mia Thermopolis, Princess Diaries, Princess Diaries 3, Queen Clarisse Renaldi | By | | 2 minutes of reading

Princess Diaries 3 is currently under development by Disney. The first film is based from Meg Cabot‘s 2000 her novel Princess Diaries. There are 10 main line Princess Diary Books but only two movies got made. The second one is not even based from the books. It has been 18 years since the last time a movie based from the long running book franchise god made.

The first book made $165.3 million and the sequel made $134.7 million. It made a then new comer Anne Hathaway a household name. This movie won’t win her an Oscar but it gave her the opportunity to star on movies that won her an Oscar. Fans of both the books and the movies have been hoping for a sequel for a long time, but there was never a Princess Diaries 3. Director Garry Marshall, who directed production on the first two films in the series, passed away in 2016, putting the continuation of the franchise on hold.

Princess Diaries 3 could continue where the 2nd film left off or adapt  of the remaining nine books.

The movie and book series are about an introverted and socially awkward schoolgirl from San Francisco named Mia Thermopolis. She wasn’t well-liked at school, and her only friend was the most unpopular kid there. Her life did a full 180 when she found out that her grandmother is  Queen Clarisse Renaldi (Julie Andrews).  She is the Queen Regnant of the Kingdom of Genovia.

Anna Hathaway is now on her 40s and Julie Andrews is still alive and healthy. It will be great if both of them will reprise their roles. In an old interview, Anne Hathaway said she will be supportive of a third movie. Unfortunately, Being supportive does not equate to accepting the role. A recast will not make sense if its not a reboot. This third movie will be a continuation of the second film. I do hope a 40 year old Anne Hathaway will reprise playing Mia.

Anne said she is open to do another Princess Diaries movies.

Julie Andrews is also open about it. I think Heather Matarazzo will also accept the gig because she struggles to get roles these days. The question is will Chris Pine return now he is a bigger actor now.

Oh my! This is my mom's favorite movie! She said this is the movie that is her first date with my dad. I think she will be very happy for this news.

I'm not sure, but I believe it would be better to start over, so that all of the books can be made into films. Because Anne Hathaway is too old, many of the books will never be made into films. Because she is now 40 years old, the third film is very likely to take a different turn. There will never be a film or television series that does the books justice.

I'm so happy and excited that I can hardly contain myself. Please, please, please let this happen! I want Anne Hathaway, Julie Andrews, and Chris Pine to be in Princess Diaries 3 so badly that I'm willing to write them a big check and pull all the strings Disney can. With Princess Diaries 3, the world can take a break from the problems of the present. Genovia's future is in jeopardy.

The Princess Diaries 3 is finally coming, after years of being deceived by clickbait websites and fake trailer channels. Will they finally stick to the story as told in the books, or will they instead write a new script? It's a shame that a ten-book book series has only been adapted into one film, because the second film doesn't do the book series justice. But Princess Diaries is a masterpiece, and I'm thrilled that there will be a sequel. I really hope Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews appear in the third film.

My childhood favorite movie is finally getting a remake. I hope that Queen Mia will have her own children and teach them the same values that her grandmother did. I also hope that the former Queen will become a great-grandmother one day. This will be ideal for my French vanilla fantasy. Julie Andrews was undoubtedly a big reason why Princess Diaries was so popular with girls of all ages, not just young girls. She has demonstrated her talent in a number of musicals and films.

The Princess Diaries 3 is now more relevant than ever. A story that, despite its flaws, inspires readers with hope, kindness, and the ability to compromise. Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews are two actresses who are still at the top of their game and can easily restore dignity to both difficult and humorous situations. As queen, Mia is fully in charge, and Clarisse is a wise but still somewhat out of touch advisor. Because the world around Genovia is changing and they must deal with both domestic and international changes, the plot for a sequel almost writes itself. This implies that Mia must accept full responsibility for her actions and decisions. Garry Marshall's tragic death will be felt, but I'm sure there are many talented directors who can step up and make films with the same level of feeling, sensitivity, and care that the other two received. I believe it is time for the next installment, and I hope Disney will consider my feedback. I also believe that the original cast should reunite.

If I had been the one writing this, I would have pointed out the second movie ended with Mia becoming queen, therefore no longer a princess, all but guaranteeing this third movie would be about her daughter. If Hathaway stars, she may not be the focus. I would have also mentioned how bad that second movie is. Pee-yeuuh!
