In her Instagram video, Hathaway joyfully expressed her enthusiasm, counting up with her fingers as she referenced her character, Mia Thermopolis. She humorously mimicked Mia’s shocked reaction, echoing the phrase “Shut up!” while reminiscing about the film's memorable moments. The video featured the song "Miracles Happen (When You Believe)" by Myra, which was part of the original movie's soundtrack.
In her caption, Hathaway wrote, “Miracles happen. Back to Genovia with @adeleblim @disney @somewherepictures. The fairy tale continues.” She expressed her joy in reconnecting with the team and revisiting the beloved story, garnering excitement from fans, including Kelly Clarkson, who commented that she was already “seated” and thrilled.
Adele Lim, known for directing Joy Ride and Crazy Rich Asians, expressed her passion for the original films and her eagerness to explore themes of happiness and empowerment in the upcoming installment. She told Variety, “As a die-hard fan of the original Princess Diaries, I’m beyond excited to be a part of bringing the third iteration of this beloved franchise to life.”
The first two films, The Princess Diaries (2001) and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004), are currently available for streaming on Disney+. Hathaway previously mentioned in January 2023 that the possibility of a third film was thrilling, though she cautioned that the process can be lengthy and complex.
