Julie Andrews Declines Princess Diaries Sequel
27 May
Summary
- Julie Andrews will not reprise her role as Queen Clarisse.
- Age and other commitments make a return impractical.
- Anne Hathaway is actively working on a third film.
Julie Andrews has indicated that she will not be returning for a third "Princess Diaries" film. The actress, who portrayed Queen Clarisse Renaldi, expressed that the passage of time and her current age make a reprisal unlikely. She noted that both she and Anne Hathaway, who played Mia Thermopolis, have aged significantly since the original movies.
Despite Andrews's reluctance, Hathaway remains enthusiastic about a sequel and is actively working on its development. Hathaway mentioned that focusing on multiple projects, such as "The Devil Wears Prada 2," made it challenging to simultaneously advance the "Princess Diaries" story.
Andrews previously spoke about the permanent damage from a vocal cord procedure in 2004, which affected her singing career. However, she continues to work actively in other capacities, including producing, lecturing, and acting in non-singing roles, and expresses contentment with her current career path.
