Julie Andrews Isn't Keen on ‘Princess Diaries 3': 'Sometimes It’s Best to Leave a Good Thing Alone'

Julie Andrews is happy that the ‘Princess Diaries’ saga may come to an end.

Regarding the prospect of a third ‘Princess Diaries’ film, the 88-year-old actress stated in an interview that "sometimes it's best to leave a good thing alone."

"I don't like it when people milk and milk and milk the subject, you know, 'til it's dead," said Andrews, who played Queen Clarisse Renaldi opposite Anne Hathaway as Mia Thermopolis, in reflection of the 23 years that had passed since the first movie's premiere.

Andrews acknowledged that despite being asked "so many times" about the possibility of another film, there had been no inquiries about a sequel. Although she would "be very happy if we did do another one," she made it clear that she doesn't think it will happen.

The existence of a script was confirmed by Anne Hathaway, who in 2019 on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen stated that she would love to see a third movie. 

Though she was unable to verify, Andrews stated that although the project was discussed, it appears to have been shelved.

Hathaway highlighted in January 2023 the protracted process of creating a third movie, emphasizing that fans who are eager for its release must exercise patience.
