The Princess Diaries 3 Officially in the Works

Oh, the joy that fills my heart as I type these words! As a child of the early 2000s, The Princess Diaries was more than just a movie to me – it was an escape, a dream, and a beacon of hope for every awkward teenager out there. So, hearing that Adele Lim is set to direct The Princess Diaries 3 has me jumping with anticipation!


A queen is never late, but this news can’t come soon enough.

According to TopMob News’ confirmation, the production of “The Princess Diaries 3” has been officially initiated, and Adele Lim, who previously worked on “Crazy Rich Asians,” is slated to take charge as the director for this upcoming sequel.

Being an ardent admirer of the first ‘Princess Diaries’, I’m thrilled to pieces about contributing to the third installment of this cherished series,” said Lim in a statement on October 4th. “We eagerly anticipate sharing its essential themes of female strength, happiness, and guidance with audiences globally.

In the year 2001, the movie “The Princess Diaries” premiered, introducing us to Anne Hathaway as she played the character Mia Thermopolis, who transforms from an awkward teenager into a princess. This Disney production, which also featured Julie Andrews as Queen Clarisse Renaldi, was a massive success, paving the way for the sequel titled “Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.” For the first time on screen, Chris Pine joined the cast in this sequel.

Although no official casting announcements have been made for the third installment, which was confirmed to be in early stages of development in 2022, Variety suggests that the film will continue the series rather than starting anew. Previously, Hathaway has hinted at her potential involvement in the project.

She shared with V Magazine in April that the movie’s development is going well. However, she couldn’t reveal any news just yet. All she could confirm was that they were currently in a positive state.

The Oscar winner also addressed the subject in 2019, justifying the lengthy wait for a follow-up.

She shared with Andy Cohen on “Watch What Happens Live” that they are committed to making the project flawless, as they value it equally to how much everyone else cherishes it. For them, its quality is just as crucial, and they won’t release anything until it’s fully prepared. However, rest assured, they are putting in effort to get it done.

Mandy Moore, who originally portrayed the character Lana Thomas (the mean girl), hinted at potentially returning to the role, when she marked the movie’s 23rd anniversary on her social media platforms in a subtle way.

Just like that, #ThePrincessDiaries celebrates another year and becomes even more delightful! What a wonderful present,” she posted on Instagram in July, while carrying her third child. “As I scroll through old pictures, evoking past moments, I find myself appreciating the number 3.
