Actress Anne Hathaway recently celebrated the 20th anniversary of the beloved film 'The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement' and Kelly Clarkson's hit song 'Breakaway.' Hathaway took to Instagram to commemorate the milestone, sharing a clip of Clarkson's music video featured on the film's soundtrack.
The video showcases Clarkson arriving at the world premiere of the movie, posing for photographers, and later watching the film during a turbulent plane ride. The post garnered excitement from fans and even received a comment from Clarkson's talk show account, referring to them as 'QUEENS.'
Hathaway also shared throwback images from her time filming the sequel, including moments with co-stars Chris Pine and Julie Andrews, who played a significant role in the franchise. The first Princess Diaries film was released in 2001, with the sequel premiering three years later, following Mia Thermopolis (Hathaway) as she accepts the crown as queen of Genovia.
After years of speculation, a third installment of the franchise was confirmed to be in the works at Disney. Hathaway expressed her desire for Julie Andrews to be involved, emphasizing their willingness to make it work regardless of logistical challenges.
Both of Hathaway's on-screen love interests, Pine and Schwartzman, have shown interest in reprising their roles. Pine stated his willingness to return as Nicolas Deveraux, while Schwartzman expressed his eagerness to come back as Michael Moscovitz.
Andrews, however, has been more reserved about the idea of a third film. While she mentioned being open to the possibility, she also highlighted the importance of not overexploiting a successful franchise.
As fans eagerly anticipate the potential return of the Princess Diaries series, the cast's enthusiasm and nostalgia for the films continue to resonate with audiences, keeping the hope alive for another chapter in the beloved story.
