What we know about ‘The Princess Diaries 3’ as Chris Pine says he knows nothing about the long-awaited sequel, despite fans wanting him recast

Reports of the third film being commissioned have swirled since late 2022, but it wasn’t until October 2024 that Hathaway confirmed she would reprise her role as Thermopolis.

She posted a video on Instagram counting from one to three alongside clips from the previous movies, as well a Variety article reporting that “Crazy Rich Asians” scribe Adele Lim would direct the third film.

She wrote in the caption: “Miracles happen, back to Genovia with Adele Lim, Disney, Somewhere Pictures. The Fairytale continues.”

Chris Pine doesn’t know anything about “The Princess Diaries 3.”

Although Thermopolis is in a relationship with Devereaux when she becomes queen, he doesn’t become king. He refuses to take the crown because his uncle, the Viscount Mabrey (John Rhys-Davies), tried to usurp Thermopolis.

Fans have been very vocal about wanting to see Pine return.

Asked about “The Princess Diaries 3” on Tuesday’s episode of “Today With Hoda & Jenna,” Pine said: “I don’t know anything, Call Disney! Call Bob Iger!”

When pushed about whether he’d had any conversations about returning, he added: “The answer is I’ve gotta see. I don’t know anything about it. I think it’s fantastic.”

The sequel doesn’t have a release date: it is still in development and filming is yet to start.
