Is the tiara finally coming back to reclaim its rightful place on the big screen? Because honey, we are LIVING for the tea that just spilled about Princess Diaries 3, and trust us, this is the royal drama we’ve been manifesting since 2004.
Let’s set the scene: way back in January 2019, our girl Anne Hathaway waltzed onto Watch What Happens Live and casually dropped the bomb that yes, Virginia, there IS a script for the third Princess Diaries film. And we’ve been waiting FOUR YEARS for more details? The audacity! But wait—it gets juicier. Author Meg Cabot, the literal genius who birthed this iconic franchise from her brilliant brain, has now READ the script and is absolutely OBSESSED with it. Like, she loves it. We’re talking hearts in her eyes, gushing, ready-to-tell-the-world kind of love.
For those who need a refresher (though honestly, how could you forget?), the original Princess Diaries dropped in 2001 like a velvet-cushioned bomb, and Mia Thermopolis became the fashion icon we all aspired to be. The sequel arrived in 2004, and then… silence. Radio silence. A void that no amount of rewatching could fill. But now that Meg Cabot—the AUTHOR, the visionary, the woman who literally created this universe—has blessed this script with her approval, things are looking VERY promising for our beloved franchise.
Anne Hathaway’s 2019 reveal had fans absolutely SCREAMING. Social media practically combusted with the possibility of seeing the beloved characters return to the screen. And now with Cabot’s enthusiastic stamp of approval? Girl, we might actually be getting this third film. The Queen of Genovia might just be making her triumphant return, and we are NOT emotionally prepared for that level of iconic energy.
The real question now is: will Anne grace us with her presence? Will we see an updated, grown-up Mia navigating royal life in the modern era? Will Julie Andrews deliver another performance that makes us weep into our pillows? The POSSIBILITIES are endless, and frankly, we need answers.
What do you think? A) The third film needs to happen IMMEDIATELY because we deserve it after waiting this long B) Some franchises should stay iconic in our memories and a third film might ruin the magic
