After years of speculation and countless fan petitions, Anne Hathaway has finally shared a glimpse of hope for The Princess Diaries fans. The actress revealed that development on the much-anticipated Princess Diaries 3 is actively underway, though the project hasn’t officially received Disney’s green light yet.
Speaking candidly in a recent interview, Hathaway said the creative team is “constantly working on it.” She explained that her attention was temporarily diverted by The Devil Wears Prada 2, which demanded significant preparation and filming, but now that project is nearing completion, her focus will return to the beloved Genovian princess.
“It’s a project very close to my heart,” Hathaway noted. “We’re chipping away at the script and trying to get it just right. The fans deserve a story that feels true to the original films, so we’re taking our time to make it really special.”
The long delay in producing a third installment has left fans anxious but hopeful. Hathaway acknowledged that balancing multiple projects contributed to the wait but reassured fans that progress is tangible. The emphasis, she said, is on crafting a strong and engaging script rather than rushing into production.
Though no release date or filming schedule has been announced, insiders confirm that Disney is monitoring the project closely. The aim is for Hathaway to reprise her role as Mia Thermopolis, with a story that continues the charm and humor of the original franchise while exploring the character’s growth in new ways.
For now, fans can take solace in knowing that Princess Diaries 3 is moving forward — slowly but surely — and that Hathaway and the creative team are committed to delivering a sequel worthy of the iconic films that first captured audiences nearly two decades ago.
As anticipation builds, it seems the wait for Mia’s return to Genovia may finally be coming to an end, promising a mix of nostalgia, heart, and a fresh storyline for longtime fans and newcomers alike.
