In an interview on SiriusXM's Radio Andy, Hathaway gave a major update regarding the future of Disney's beloved classic franchise, The Princess Diaries, as news of the long-awaited sequel has been largely kept under wraps. These updates have arrived after Hathaway previously stated that the team was "constantly working" on the sequel, with director Adele Lim being enthusiastic during press conferences. "I’m busy making baby number three, and that has sort of taken the place of knowing when exactly I can make Princess Diaries 3. I can say I think we had a story breakthrough. I think we are moving in the right direction. The script that we were working on — we kind of had to start over with this new direction, which is not the update I think anybody wants, but we all feel really good that this is gonna be the one."
