Guess who's making a royal comeback? Anne Hathaway returns to Genovia in 'Princess Diaries 3' directed by the amazing Adele Lim!

After years of anticipation, the beloved Princess Diaries franchise is finally getting a third installment! Anne Hathaway, the queen of Genovia herself, is confirmed to reprise her iconic role as Mia Thermopolis. Fans have been clamoring for this moment since the second movie wrapped up in 2004, and now it seems that the stars (and scripts) have aligned for this much-awaited sequel. Directed by the talented Adele Lim, who made waves with her work on the hit film Joy Ride, audiences can expect a fresh yet nostalgic take on the classic series.

Director Adele Lim is stepping into this royal role for her second directorial outing, but she’s no stranger to the magical world of Disney. Having previously written the animated hit Raya and the Last Dragon, Lim is bringing her creativity and flair to the iconic franchise, ensuring that the essence of what made The Princess Diaries a fan favorite shines brightly in its third chapter. The anticipation is palpable, and Lim's unique vision as a director promises to breathe new life into the adventures of our favorite princess.

Fans might remember that the idea of a third movie has been floating around for years, with Hathaway herself hinting at it during various interviews. “Miracles happen!” she proclaimed in a recent video, a shout-out to her younger self as well as her co-star Julie Andrews, who played Queen Clarisse. It’s clear that Hathaway has a deep affection for this character, and her excitement is infectious for Genovia's loyal fanbase.

As the project moves from script-land to production, everything points to a royal reunion that’s bound to captivate both new audiences and long-time fans. Expect laughter, lessons in royal etiquette, and maybe even a sassy new suitor for Mia. With the promise of a new adventure, it seems fair to say that Genovia is ready for its close-up once again!
