Princess Diaries Star Fears Losing Health Insurance

Actress Heather Matarazzo, widely recognized for her role as Lilly in The Princess Diaries, has publicly stated she is at risk of losing her health insurance coverage. This situation arises from SAG-AFTRA's requirement for members to meet a minimum earnings threshold to qualify for health benefits. Matarazzo shared on Threads that she is in a similar predicament to other actors struggling to reach the $28,090 earnings mark needed for health insurance in 2026, a figure set to increase to $28,933 in 2027.

Her situation draws parallels to actor Jack Haven, who recently made an appeal for work after falling short of the minimum earnings. Haven later reported receiving enough offers to secure coverage, expressing gratitude for the public's support. As of September 24, 2026, it remains unclear if Matarazzo has secured new acting roles following her public appeal. Meanwhile, plans for a third installment of The Princess Diaries are underway, but Matarazzo has not yet confirmed her participation in the upcoming film.
