The Princess Diarieslaunched a then-18-year-old Hathaway to fame after its 2001 debut and even inspired a sequel, 2004’sThe Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.
Hathaway always knew the story of her character Mia Thermopolis' journey to Genovian royalty, based on Meg Cabot’s book series, would be a hit. As shetold PEOPLE back in January 2019, “Getting the script, it just had that feeling. … I touched it, and it was electric.”
And starring opposite Andrews marked “a dream come true” for the actress, who would go on to win anAcademy Awardfor her role asFantine in 2012’sLes Misérables.

Fans of the franchise may be getting a third installment, as Hathaway revealed the same month of her PEOPLE interview that there is a script fora newPrincess Diariesfilm.
“We don’t want to deliver anything until it’s ready, but we’re working on it,” she said onWatch What Happens Liveat the time. “I want to do it … Debra Martin Chase, our producer, wants to do it. We all really want it to happen. It’s just we don’t want to unless it’s perfect because we love it just as much as you guys love it.”
While Andrews — who played Queen Clarisse Renaldi in the movies — and Hathaway both previously stated they’d return for a third film in the franchise, Andrews revealed onThe Talk @ Homein April 2020 that she still hadn’t seen a script or plans.
“It’s long been talked about but nothing has sort of been on my desk or anything like that,” she said. “I think I would. I’mgetting awfully old and crotchety. I’m not sure if it’s the right timing, but I think to work with Annie would be lovely again. And yeah, sure I would be up for it. I think we should wait if the script comes in, just wait for that.”
