Anne Hathaway to make her royal return in Princess Diaries 3

The Queen of Genovia will be making her return very soon. Anne Hathaway is set to reprise her iconic role as everyone’s favourite queen in the upcoming Princess Diaries 3! The actress made the announcement on her official Instagram handle, with a video reciting the iconic Princess Diaries quote, “Shut up!” along with a screenshot of Variety’s headline.

The publication revealed that Adele Lim – who directed Joy Ride, Crazy Rich Asians, and Raya and the Last Dragon – will direct the third iteration of Princess Diaries. Hathaway will also produce under her Somewhere Pictures banner, Variety reported. While plot details have not been revealed, the third part will be a continuation of the earlier movies and not a reboot.

Based on the book series by Meg Cabot, the story is about an awkward teenage girl who discovers she’s the heir to the throne of the fictional European kingdom of Genovia. She then undergoes a transformation to emulate all that being a princess represents. Though the 2001 film initially received mixed reviews, it became a box office hit with $165 million in global ticket sales. The sequel did great in its cinematic run too, it garnered $134 million worldwide.
