Dame Julie Andrews has sent a wave of excitement through the royal court of Genovian fans, delivering the most significant update on The Princess Diaries 3 in years. The acting legend sent the internet into meltdown after confirming that talks for the third instalment are not just a dream but are actively happening.
The revelation came not from a stuffy press release, but directly from the Queen of Genovia herself during a surprise appearance at the Hollywood Reporter's Raising Our Voices event. When pressed on the possibility of returning to her iconic role, Andrews offered hope to millions.
A Royal Confirmation
'We're working on it,' the 88-year-old icon stated, sending a clear message that the project is moving beyond mere speculation. This bombshell confirmation suggests that after nearly two decades of waiting, scripts are being discussed and deals are being negotiated behind the palace walls of Disney.
While Andrews remained characteristically discreet on specifics, her words carry immense weight. This isn't idle gossip; it's a credible update from a central figure in the franchise, confirming that the wheels are finally in motion for Mia Thermopolis's return to the big screen.
A Fandom Reignited
The reaction from the dedicated fanbase was immediate and euphoric. Social media platforms exploded with joy and disbelief as longtime followers of the franchise celebrated the news they thought would never come.
For a generation who grew up with the original films, the prospect of a third chapter represents more than just another sequel; it's a nostalgic return to a beloved world of royalty, romance, and self-discovery. The question on everyone's lips now is not if, but when the official green light will be given.
The Road to a Third Crown
The journey to this point has been long and fraught with rumours. For years, both Andrews and her co-star Anne Hathaway have expressed their fondness for the characters and a willingness to revisit them, but a viable script and studio commitment proved elusive.
Now, with Andrews's confirmation, it appears the pieces are finally falling into place. All eyes will now be on Disney to make an official announcement and crown this long-awaited project with a production start date. The kingdom of Genovia is ready for its queen to return.
