Anne Hathaway recently revealed there’s been a “story breakthrough” on the script for PRINCESS DIARIES 3.
“I’m busy making baby number three, and that has sort of taken the place of knowing when exactly I can make PRINCESS DIARIES 3,” the actress shared on SiriusXM’s RADIO ANDY show; she announced her pregnancy earlier this year.
Hathaway continued, “I can say I think we had a story breakthrough. I think we are moving in the right direction. The script that we were working on — we kind of had to start over with this new direction, which is not the update I think anybody wants, but we all feel really good that this is gonna be the one.”

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly earlier this year, the actress shared that she and the PRINCESS DIARIES team are “constantly working” on the third installment’s script.
“[THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2] cropped up unexpectedly and took over the space,” Hathaway continued, explaining that it “became impossible to focus on both at the same time.”
She stressed that PRINCESS DIARIES 3 “is not greenlit or confirmed yet” but reiterated that writers are “chipping away at the script.”
Meg Cabot, the author of the popular teen book series the movies are based on, also shared her excitement about the potential sequel.
“I’m so excited there is a third movie. I read a script, and it was amazing,” she told The Hollywood Reporter. “I told them not to send anymore, because I love it so much. I have a problem keeping my mouth shut. They don’t like it when you tell people what’s gonna happen yet, so I was like, ‘Better not send me any more scripts!’”
Cabot joked, “I’m not gonna say anything that’s gonna give away too much,” adding, “The answer is I’m very happy with what I’ve read so far, but there’s definitely some book things that were involved in the last script I read.”
It looks like PRINCESS DIARIES fans are going to have to wait a little while longer for PRINCESS DIARIES 3.
