Julie Andrews Says An Appearance In Upcoming PRINCESS DIARIES Sequel Is ‘Not Going To Be Possible’
By Movieguide® Contributor
Fans of THE PRINCESS DIARIES were excited to hear that another installment of the Disney classic is in the works, but new comments from star Julie Andrews have dashed the hopes of the acctress reprising her role as Queen Clarisse.
Andrews played Queen of Genovia, Clarisse Renaldi, and grandmother to Anne Hathaway’s Princess Mia Thermopolis in both PRINCESS DIARIES movies.
Both movies received favorable reviews from Movieguide®. A portion of the review for THE PRINCESS DIARIES reads:
THE PRINCESS DIARIES is a delightful discovery. This movie has been carefully crafted. The script is coherent. The plot is intriguing. The unexpected carries viewers along, and the acting is good. In fact, the whole process of turning Mia into a princess is a process of learning how to be responsible for your actions, live a virtuous life and do the right thing in the face of adversity.
Many fans were crossing their fingers for an appearance from both actresses in the new installment, but Andrews recently revealed she won’t be taking part in the project.
“I think we know that it’s probably not going to be possible,” the actress said. “It was talked about very shortly after [THE PRINCESS DIARIES 2: ROYAL ENGAGEMENT] came out, but it’s now how many years since then? And I am that much older and Annie the princess, or queen, is so much older. And I am not sure where it would float or run. In terms of us doing it, I doubt that now.”
It’s also unknown if Hathaway will be returning for the third installment. The Hollywood Reporter stated that the next movie will be a continuation of the series and not a reboot, but the original movies’ star has not yet confirmed if she’ll be in the project.
Movieguide® previously reported:
A new PRINCESS DIARIES movie is in the works at Disney!
The Hollywood Reporter has revealed that Aadrita Mukerji is working on a script for another installment in the series. Mukerji has previously written for TV shows like REACHER and SUPERGIRL. The article also clarified that this would be a continuation of the original series, and not a reboot.
Anne Hathaway starred in THE PRINCESS DIARIES and THE PRINCESS DIARIES 2: ROYAL ENGAGEMENT alongside Julie Andrews.
Hathaway has expressed excitement at the idea of another PRINCESS DIARIES movie in the past, but there’s no official word yet on whether she or Andrews will return for the upcoming project.
