# Julie Andrews won’t return for ‘Princess Diaries 3’ 2026-08-13T06:04:13+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Julie Andrews will not reprise her role as Queen Clarisse Renaldi in 'The Princess Diaries 3', ending hopes of a reunion with Anne Hathaway. The 90-year-old actor told The Hollywood Reporter she is "past all that now" and prefers writing books, recording podcasts and doing voiceovers. "I don't think I should be a part of it," she said, though she remains enthusiastic about the franchise. Anne Hathaway is set to return as Mia Thermopolis, with director Adele Lim attached. Andrews confirmed that she was approached last year and found it "very hard to say no," but felt the film would "flourish very well" without her. She continues voice work, including as Lady Whistledown in Netflix's 'Bridgerton'. ## Coverage - english.mathrubhumi.com Tags: Anne Hathaway, Disney+, Hollywood, Julie Andrews, Princess Diaries 3 Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/julie-andrews-wont-return-for-princess-diaries-3/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
