The Princess Diaries is a movie that shaped a lot of our lives, and we cannot wait for the third installment to hit the big screen. However, with Anne Hathaway being one of the busiest women in Hollywood, we may be waiting quite a while for The Princess Diaries 3.
The actress is currently busy promoting both Mother Mary and The Devil Wears Prada 2, but is officially returning as Princess Amelia Mignonette Grimaldi Thermopolis Renaldo.
There's also one very special character returning for the third movie, according to author Meg Cabot.
The Princess Diaries creator confirmed that Chris Pine, who played Nicholas Devereaux in The Princess Diaries 2, will return for the third movie.
Meg Cabot teased, "There is a part for everybody, because there’s a thing that happens where everyone has to show up. Robert Schwartzman‘s in it. Chris Pine obviously is in it. Although he says he’s not, he is."
Chris Pine previously told Entertainment Tonight that he’d happily star in The Princess Diaries 3.
He shared: “Yeah, I’m here! I’m here for it. Give me a phone call or an email.”
However, the author did confirm that they have not started filming due to Hathaway's busy schedule.
“I don’t know when they’re going to film it because Anne Hathaway, as you’ve probably seen, is making a million movies right now."
“One of these days she’s going to go to the castle that we have actually rented and is sitting there waiting …Movie number three, it’s going to be amazing.”
The third installment is in very reliable hands with Adele Lim signing up to direct the Disney film.
Disney has not yet confirmed a release date, but we're eagerly awaiting the release of The Princess Diaries 3. There's no doubt this movie will be worth the wait.
