The year is 2001. A new heroine bursts onto the scene, captivating the hearts of young girls everywhere. She’s not your typical princess; she’s a bushy-haired, awkward teenager named Mia Thermopolis, navigating the trials and tribulations of high school while secretly harboring a royal destiny. This is the essence of *The Princess Diaries*, Disney’s beloved franchise based on Meg Cabot’s books.
The film’s magic was undeniable. It propelled Anne Hathaway to stardom, and its charm resonated with audiences worldwide. Now, two decades later, the franchise is set to return with a highly anticipated third installment, *Princess Diaries 3*.
While the news of the sequel has sent fans into a frenzy of excitement, there’s a palpable sense of anticipation about what the new film will bring. After all, the original films left an indelible mark on our collective childhoods, and expectations are running high.
Hathaway’s return is a major draw, but there are other key elements that contributed to the franchise’s success. We can’t help but wonder if the sequel will honor the legacy of *The Princess Diaries* by incorporating familiar faces and beloved plot points.
The promise of a third film has been circulating for years, with the late director Gary Marshall hinting at its potential back in 2016. Now, with the confirmation of Debra Martin Chase, who worked on the first two films, and the exciting addition of Adele Lim, director of the hilarious *Joy Ride*, at the helm, the future of *Princess Diaries 3* looks promising.
However, much remains shrouded in mystery. As we eagerly await further details, we can’t help but dream about what we’d like to see in the new film.
Here’s a wishlist of our royal desires for *Princess Diaries 3*:
*
A Deep Dive into Genovia:
The first two films only scratched the surface of the enchanting principality of Genovia. We’re yearning to see more of its culture, history, and traditions, giving us a richer understanding of Mia’s royal heritage.*
The Return of Beloved Characters:
Fans are eager to see the return of beloved characters, like Mia’s best friend Lilly Moscovitz, her grandmother Queen Clarisse Renaldi, and even the ever-so-charming Lord Devereaux. Their presence would add a touch of nostalgia and create heartwarming moments for long-time fans.*
Exploring Mia’s Reign:
The first film focused on Mia’s journey to becoming a princess, while the second showcased her transition into her role. A third film could explore Mia’s reign as Queen of Genovia, showcasing her leadership skills, the challenges of ruling, and her ability to balance her royal duties with her personal life.*
A New Generation of Royal Tales:
We can’t help but dream of a new generation of royal stories, perhaps focusing on Mia’s children, or even a new young character navigating their own royal journey.While some of these wishes might require a touch of fairy tale magic, we’re hopeful that *Princess Diaries 3* will live up to the hype and deliver a truly enchanting experience for fans old and new.
Get ready to be swept away by the magic of Genovia once again. *Princess Diaries 3* is coming soon, and we’re all eagerly awaiting its royal arrival.
