Anne Hathaway talked about the possibility of a third installment of The Princess Diaries, saying, “We’re in a good place.”
“That’s all I can say. There’s nothing to announce yet. But we’re in a good place,” the Devil Wears Prada star said during an interview with V Magazine.
41-year-old Hathaway originally portrayed Mia Thermopolis in the first Princess Diaries movie released in 2001, reprising her role for the 2004 sequel, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.
She starred alongside Julie Andrews, 88, who played her grandmother Queen Clarisse Renaldi in both the original movie, that follows Mia’s journey after learning that she is the princess of Genovia, and its sequel.
Despite Hathaway’s enthusiasm, Julie Andrews expressed uncertainty about a possible third Princess Diaries movie during an interview with Today last month.
Andrews said, “It’s quite a long time now since the two Diaries were done, and I’m not sure, but sometimes it’s best to leave a good thing alone. I don’t like it when people milk and milk and milk the subject, you know, ’til it’s dead.”
“There was dialogue about it,” Andrews explained, “nothing had been realized. And I think I may be wrong, but I think it’s been shelved now. I can’t be sure.”
However, she did express, “I’d be very happy if we did do another one. But I don’t expect to.”
In 2019, Hathaway mentioned during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen that there was a “script for the third movie.”
She expressed her enthusiasm for the project, stating, “I want to do it. Julie wants to do it. Debra Martin Chase, our producer, wants to do it. We all really want it to happen. It’s just we don’t want to unless it’s perfect because we love it just as much as you guys love it,” she said at the time.
“It’s as important to us as it is to you, and we don’t want to deliver anything until it’s ready, but we’re working on it,” Hathaway added.
