The Princess Diaries 3 Is Taking So Long Because Disney Is 'Working So Hard to Get It Right,' Anne Hathaway Says | D23 2026
· IGN
Anne Hathaway took the stage at D23 2026 to confirm that work on The Princess Diaries 3 is moving steadily ahead.
The Princess of Genovia herself confirmed the news during this year's show. Progress is slow going for now, but it sounds like she and the rest of the team behind the long-awaited sequel have a good reason for making fans wait.

"Being part of the Disney family also means being part of a legacy studio that deeply values the family audience it makes content for," Hathaway said. "It’s why we are working so hard to get The Princess Diaries 3 right, thanks for your patience."
It's been 22 years since The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement first came to theaters. That means the wait has been especially brutal, though it's not been without its updates.
Julie Andrews, for example, confirmed just earlier this week that she has no plans to return for the new movie.
"I think the absolute truth is that I think I’m really past all that now," she told The Hollywood Reporter. “I’m not completely retired, but it’s a different kind of work that I do these days — [writing] books, and I do a lot of recording of podcasts and voiceovers. But truly, I don’t think I should be a part of it."
Hathaway previously confirmed plans to return to Genovia back in 2024.
