It has now been 20 years since the release ofThe Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, and a third installment,The Princess Diaries 3, has been announced. Although there is a lot of excitement surrounding the highly anticipated third film, it remains to be seen whatThe Princess Diaries 3’s story will be. The threequel has many interesting possibilities to explore, one of which would be having a new character be the “Mia” of the story.

ThenewPrincess Diariesmovie, set to be directed by Adele Lim, should be about Mia and her daughter, with Hathaway’s character teaching her daughter how to be royal. This would bring the franchise full circle and make Anne Hathaway’s character ironically similar to her grandmother in the original film. This idea could work well, especially because thePrincess Diariesmovies have changed things from the booksalready.

The Princess Diaries 3 Could Repeat The Original’s Story With Mia’s Daughter

This Would Add A Sense Of Familiarity And Nostalgia To The Sequel

It would be interesting to see a new character in the role of the princess, following Mia’s (Anne Hathaway) guidance. This would allow the film to stay modern and up-to-date. The original movie was released in 2001 and was full of culture from the early 2000s like music, arcades, parties, and flip phones. A new young actor in the lead could helpreimagineThe Princess Diariesin 2024by showcasing what it’s like for teenagers to live in the US today. It would also make the film appeal to a younger generation.

It would be interesting to see Anne Hathaway’s character, Mia, become an advocate for royal life for several reasons, but mainly for the irony.

As well as bringing the film franchise to today’s society,The Princess Diaries 3would also be using a formula that already worked. The first movie worked so well because of its contrasts after all. Firstly, with the rivalry between Mia and her grandmother, and secondly between the average American teenager and the princess persona she adopted by the end of the movie. The third movie would be able to bring this same sense of conflict to the screen if it were to repeat the events of the first film with Mia and her daughter.

It would also be interesting to see the contrast between Mia and the younger generation.

Chris Pine Addresses His Potential Princess Diaries 3 Return: “Call Disney!”

Chris Pine discusses whether he will reprise his role as Lord Nicholas Devereaux in The Princess Diaries 3 as the sequel moves forward.

It could also give Mia a chance to redeem her grandmother’s approach from the first film. Since Mia had gone from being a normal teenager, living in America to becoming the princess ofthe fictional land of Genovia, she could be more sympathetic to the new youngster taking her place. Therefore,The Princess Diaries 3already has a great potential storyline, and even if it doesn’t go down that route, it could still play with parallels between the new film and Mia’a’s original story.
