Anne Hathaway is overjoyed with the fan reaction to the news that there would be more Princess Diaries, but she advises us to be patient.
Disney stated in November that we would be returning to Genovia for another helping of Royal fun, more than 21 years after we were first introduced to the actress’s popular character Mia Thermopolis.
While the new picture has been in the works for several years, Hathaway, who isn’t officially confirmed to be making a comeback, stated that the process’requires patience’.
‘We feel the exact same, and I know it’s probably very frustrating,’ she said.
Hathaway continued to People: ‘It’s a process that requires patience, and so everybody should consider themselves a part of the movie business now, because this is how long it actually takes to make things.’
Hathaway’s comments came less than a month after her Princess Diaries co-star Dame Julie Andrews, who played Queen Clarisse Renaldi, said she would not return.
‘I think we know that it’s probably not going to be possible,’ the 87-year-old said when asked about her involvement.
‘It was talked about very shortly after [the sequel] came out, but it’s now how many years since then?
‘I’m that much older and Annie, the princess – or queen – is so much older and I’m not sure whether it would float or run.’
When the idea of a reboot was suggested, she agreed to Access Hollywood: ‘Well maybe, yes. But in terms of us doing it, I very much doubt that now.
‘Something, we’ll do together, I hope. She’s a great friend.’
The first Princess Diaries film, based on Meg Cabot’s bestselling book series, was produced in 2001, and it follows Mia as she discovers that her father’s side of the family is royalty in Genovia and that she is technically a princess.
She grows from a bumbling adolescent to a European royal, with the 2004 sequel depicting the moment she claims the throne herself.
