'The Princess Diaries' came out in 2001 and was an instantly iconic role for Anne Hathaway, who also starred in the 2004 sequel. Twenty years later, a third installment is finally on the way at Disney, and it's not a reboot! On October 4, Anne Hathaway confirmed that she is on board for the sequel and will be reprising her role as Mia Thermopolis, Princess of Genovia. She took to social media with a fun video that featured a clip of her most memorable quote from the 2001 movie: "A princess?! Shut up!" It then showed Julie Andrews, who plays Queen Clarice Renaldi, repeating the line in the second film. Finally, current-day Hathaway appeared and said "Shut up!" a third time, blowing a kiss to the camera. The caption read, "Miracles happen" and "Back to Genovia." The film has reportedly been in development since 2022 and 'Crazy Rich Asians' (2018) writer Adele Lim is on board to direct.
