**Who will star in Princess Diaries 3?**

Of course, the question on everyone’s lips is whether Anne Hathaway will be reprising her role as Princess Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi. And the answer is, yes she absolutely is.

Hathaway posted a video of herself lounging outside and holding up one finger while saying, “one”. It was then followed by a clip of her from the first film saying, “shut up” in response to the news that her character Mia Thermopolis is the Princess of Genovia. The video continued until the actor reached the number three and cut to Myra’s Miracles Happen (When You Believe), a song used in the original film.

It has also been confirmed that Joy Ride’s Adele Lim will be directing the sequel and said of the news:

“As a diehard fan of the original Princess Diaries, I’m beyond excited to be a part of bringing the third iteration of this beloved franchise to life. We look forward to celebrating its core tenants of female power, joy and mentorship with audiences worldwide.”

Earlier this year, Julie Andrews also spoke fondly of The Princess Diaries and especially how it resonates with her younger fan base in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.

But when asked if it was a story she’d want to revisit, the acclaimed actor responded: “I think it would be too late to do it now. There was talk of a sequel many, many years ago. But I don’t think it ever came to pass. And Garry [Marshall, who died in 2016] then did leave us.”

We’re holding out hope regardless as, frankly, it wouldn’t be the same without our queen.
