The Princess Diaries 3 Is Officially Happening—Here's Everything to Know
Shut. Up. More than 20 years later, The Princess Diaries is finally getting a third installment. Mia Thermopolis herself, Anne Hathaway, confirmed the news with a cute video on her Instagram. "The fairy tale continues," she wrote. As it turns out, miracles do happen!
As Variety reported, the threequel will be directed by Adele Lim, who previously wrote Crazy Rich Asians and other hit films. "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," Lim told Variety. "We look forward to celebrating its core tenants of female power, joy, and mentorship with audiences worldwide."
Fans of early 2000s Hathaway—aka me—have much to look forward to. As I reported back in July, The Devil Wears Prada is also set for a revival. According to Variety, "the storyline reportedly follows [Miranda] Priestly as she navigates her career amid the decline of traditional magazine publishing and faces off against [Emily] Blunt's character, now a high-powered executive for a luxury group with advertising dollars that Priestly desperately needs."
While we await more news on both of these exciting projects, scroll down to revisit our favorite moments from The Princess Diaries. While you're at it, why not be the Princess of Genovia for Halloween this year?

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
