It’s Official: The Princess Diaries 3
The Princess Diaries 3 is officially in development at Disney, with confirmation announced in November
2022. Aadrita Mukerji (Supergirl) is set to write the screenplay, and Debra Martin, the original producer,
will produce the film. Melissa Stack (The Other Woman) is onboard as the executive producer. Despite no
release date or director announcement, the project is progressing. Garry Marshall, who directed the first
two films, passed away in 2016, but Julie Andrews expressed interest in a third installment as a tribute to
him. The film’s development is eagerly awaited by fans.
The Cast And Crew
While Sandra Oh has expressed her interest, The Princess Diaries 3’s cast remains largely unconfirmed.
Anne Hathaway, who played Mia Thermopolis, has not officially signed on, and she shared a
disappointing update about the film’s prolonged development. Julie Andrews, who portrayed Clarisse
Renaldi indicated in an interview with Access Hollywood that she might not be able to participate in the
film. As of now, casting details for the highly anticipated sequel are awaited by eager audiences.
While Julie Andrews won’t be part of The Princess Diaries 3 cast due to her well-deserved break at 87,
some original cast members are open to returning. Chris Pine, who portrayed Lord Nicholas Deveraux, has
eagerly expressed his willingness to return. Similarly, Hector Elizondo, Mia’s confidante Joe, and Clarisse’s
bodyguard-turned-husband, has also shown interest in reprising his role. Heather Matarazzo (Lilly) and
Mandy Moore (Lana) have both expressed their enthusiasm for joining The Princess Diaries 3. Fans can
anticipate the potential return of these beloved characters in the upcoming installment.
The plot
The Princess Diaries 3 is expected to continue Mia’s journey as the ruler of Genovia, picking up two
decades after the events of The Princess Diaries 2. While specific plot details are scarce, it’s likely that the
film will draw inspiration from the book series by Meg Cabot. The latest book, “The Princess Diaries,
Volume XI: Royal Wedding” reveals that Mia is pregnant with twins. This suggests that The Princess
Diaries 3 could explore Mia’s life as both a royal and a mother, possibly setting the stage for a legacy
sequel where her children navigate the challenges of royalty. The film may choose to take Mia’s story in
various directions, but the focus will remain on the relatable character as The Princess Diaries 3 brings a
new chapter to the screen.
