What We Know (So Far) About ‘The Princess Diaries 3’
Fans went crazy after an announcement that Disney is formally developing a third ‘Princess Diaries‘ movie. There are many details that have not been shared by the studio which is causing a lot of confusion online. To help clarify, we wanted to share what we know so far and put some rumors to rest (or at least until Disney confirms them!)

Casting: No official casting list has been announced, but many of the original primary cast members from both films have previously shared that they are open to reprising their roles including Anne Hathaway (Queen Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi, aka Mia), Julie Andrews (Queen Dowager Clarisse Renaldi), Chris Pine (Lord Nicholas Devereaux), Heather Matarazzo (Lilly Moscovitz), and Mandy Moore (Lana Thomas). Though Julia Andrews has expressed concern that the sequel may have come too late.
Andrews once shared with The Hollywood Reporter, “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.” Andrews added, “Especially me, it’s too far down the line now to go back to it. It’s a lovely thought, but I don’t think it would probably be possible.”
Rumor has it that Robert Schwartzman will be returning as Michael Moscovitz, but this is strictly a rumor at this time.
Script: According to series author Meg Cabot, Anne Hathaway, and Producer Debra Martin Chase, Aadrita Mukerji has created a script for the sequel which will be a continuation of the original movies, not a reboot.
Setting/Location: The new script will reportedly take place in Genovia, but it is unknown if the Queen will be traveling for her Royal Duties. (Potentially back to the States?)
Dedication: The Princess Diaries 3 will be made in honor of late director Garry Marshall, who directed both of the original Princess Diaries films for Disney.
Premiere/Release: It is currently unknown if The Princess Diaries 3 will premiere in theaters or become a Disney+ Original Movie and stream exclusively on Disney+.
