Anne Hathaway Teases Princess Diaries 3 As Devil Wears Prada 2 Buzz Heats Up

Let’s talk sequels—specifically, two Anne Hathaway ones people always ask about. The buzz right now is all about The Devil Wears Prada 2 (yes, it’s really happening), but if you’re a Princess Diaries fan, you’ve probably been wondering: are we ever getting that third movie?

Anne Hathaway just weighed in, and the answer is—well, it’s complicated. Here’s what’s actually going on:

Where’s The Princess Diaries 3?

While doing press with Meryl Streep (flex) for Devil Wears Prada 2, Hathaway got the inevitable question about her other famous sequel. Turns out, she and her team really have been trying to get The Princess Diaries 3 off the ground. In her words:

'One hundred percent, we’re constantly working on it. But Devil Wears Prada 2 cropped up unexpectedly and took over the space. Once that filmed over the summer of 2025, it became impossible to focus on both at the same time.'

Basically, the sudden greenlight for the Prada sequel completely hijacked their schedule. As Hathaway put it, when you’re making a big studio movie sequel, there is literally no bandwidth for a pet project—even if it’s Mia Thermopolis-related.

So Is Princess Diaries 3 Actually Happening?

• Work is ongoing. They really are developing it, not just paying lip service for interview soundbites.
• Not official (yet). Disney hasn’t formally greenlit the movie. Don’t clear your calendar for a release date just yet.
• There’s demand. Hathaway says everybody wants this to happen. No surprise there.
• The script’s the thing. The writing is still in progress, and they’re being picky: after the Prada experience, Anne knows coming back has to be 'knocked out of the park.'
• Meryl Streep agrees. Sitting right next to Hathaway, she chimed in: 'You’ve got to wait for the right script.'

Big Picture

No hard dates, no casting announcements, but plenty of behind-the-scenes momentum. Hathaway’s pretty clear: now that Prada 2 is in the can, The Princess Diaries 3 is back at the front of the line. Just don’t expect news overnight—studio projects move slow, and they’re not going to rush this one just to cash in.

Until official word drops, at least we know Anne Hathaway is pushing hard (and honestly, after watching franchises get rebooted a thousand times, we could do worse than a legit continuation for the Genovia crowd). For now, fans can settle in for Devil Wears Prada 2 when it lands on May 1—and keep bugging their favorite streaming service for more princess content.
