The long-awaited third installment of The Princess Diaries franchise is finally in the works, and fans are buzzing with excitement. Anne Hathaway, the Oscar-winning actress who played the iconic Mia Thermopolis in the 2001 and 2004 films, recently shared an update on the project's progress during an appearance on SiriusXM's Radio Andy. While Hathaway is currently busy with her third pregnancy, she revealed that the team has made significant progress on the script, which has undergone a 'story breakthrough'.
Hathaway's comments come as a welcome surprise to fans who have been eagerly awaiting the sequel for over a decade. The actress humorously noted that her pregnancy has taken precedence over the film's production, but she expressed optimism about the project's future. She believes that the script is now on the right track, despite the initial challenge of starting over with a new direction.
The Princess Diaries franchise, based on the beloved novels by Meg Cabot, centers around Mia Thermopolis, who discovers her royal heritage as the heir to the throne of Genovia. The series has already seen Mia's journey from a clumsy teenager to a crowned queen, and the third film promises to continue this enchanting tale. The last installment concluded with Mia's marriage to Nicholas Devereaux, leaving fans curious about the next chapter in her life.
Hathaway's enthusiasm for the project is evident, and it's clear that the team is committed to delivering a worthy addition to the franchise. The actress' personal connection to the character, having played Mia for over two decades, adds a layer of authenticity to her enthusiasm. As the production progresses, fans can expect to hear more exciting updates from Hathaway and the rest of the cast and crew.
The Princess Diaries 3 is a highly anticipated project that has the potential to captivate audiences worldwide. With a talented director in Adele Lim and a dedicated cast, including Hathaway, the film is poised to be a delightful addition to the world of royal fantasies. Fans will have to wait a little longer, but the wait is sure to be worth it.
