Oh No! Julie Andrews Might Not Return As Queen Clarisse Renaldi For ‘The Princess Diaries 3’
We hope she reconsiders!
The Princess Diaries movies based on Meg Cabot’s books have been a very essential part of all our childhoods. We have literally grown up with Amelia Mignonette Thermopolis Renaldi. Anne Hathaway nailed this fabulous character and we saw her grow from a teenager with frizzy hair to the elegant, kind and gorgeous Princess of Genovia. But what made this movie super special is the fact that we were also able to witness her developing and changing relationship with her grandmother, Clarisse Renaldi, a character who was played to perfection by Julie Andrews. After all, who doesn’t look back fondly at the Queen singing ‘Your Crowning Glory’? I literally still have the song on my phone because of all the beautiful memories that it brings back!
We couldn’t possibly imagine another Princess Diaries movie without these talented women. But alas, the cards might not be in our favour. Although Warner Bros has declared they are currently making the third instalment of The Princess Diaries movies with Aadrita Mukerji writing a script for a new instalment, it seems like Julie Andrews might not be reprising her iconic role of Queen Clarisse Renaldi. And we just can’t take this. It makes our hearts blue with sorrow to hear this news.
After being asked a lot of questions regarding her role in the upcoming movie, Julie finally opened up about her place in the project. She said that her return is probably not going to be possible. She believes that she and Anne Hathaway have aged a lot since the second movie i.e. The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement and therefore, she has no clue how the plot would proceed, accordingly.
Furthermore, Anne Hathaway had previously expressed her support for the decision but she was looking forward to it if Julie Andrews was willing to come on board as well. Now, we’re truly worried about the third instalment of The Princess Diaries series. It’s hard to say where this leaves us in terms of Anne Hathaway reprising her role, as well.

We sincerely hope that both Julie Andrews and Anne Hathaway do return for The Princess Diaries 3 because it would be a shame if they don’t, the movie cannot be complete without their talent, wit, charm and grace. We would truly miss these iconic women returning to our screens as the dynamic grandmother-granddaughter duo. Wouldn’t we?
