Julie Andrews will not return for 'Princess Diaries 3' | Movie icon confirms departure

Dame Julie Andrews may be best known as the magical Mary Poppins, but there's much more behind the curtain. As she celebrates her 91st birthday, we look back on her incredible life — from early fame to family, motherhood, and personal reflections on ageing. Candid, classy, and full of surprises, Julie proves she’s anything but ordinary.

Julie Andrews turns 91: a life beyond Mary Poppins

Last month, reports of Disney working on the third instalment of 'The Princess Diaries' started doing rounds. And, rumours are rife that Anne Hathway will be reprising her role in the new film. However, it is still unclear who will play Clarisse Renaldi, the Queen regent of Genovia, in the sequel.

It was originally played by Julie Andrews and she thinks that the possibility of her returning to the franchise is pretty slim. The Hollywood star recently spoke to Access Hollywood and shared, "I think we know that it's probably not going to be possible."

"It was talked about very shortly after (the second sequel) came out, but it's now how many years since then? And I am that much older and Annie the princess, or queen, is so much older. And I am not sure where it would float or run," she added.

The first instalment of 'The Princess Diaries' released in 2001. It was directed by&nbsp;Garry Marshall. The coming-of-age comedy was based on the popular Meg Cabot novel series.

The second instalment of the franchise,&nbsp;'The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement', released in 2004 with both Andrews and Hathaway reprising their roles.

Julie Andrews says it's unlikely she'll reprise her role in 'The Princess Diaries 3': Here's why

It's happening! The Princess of Genovia will be back! According to multiple reports, the third installment of 'Princess Diaries' is in the works.&nbsp;The script is being penned by Aadrita Mukerji ( who wrote 'Supergirl') and the story will be a continuation of the first two parts which were released in 2001 and 2004. The film featured Anne Hathaway and Julie Andrews in the lead.&nbsp; 
 
As of now the cast of the film has not been announced and it isn't clear if Anne Hathaway would be back playing the titular role in the third part as well. The actress had catapulted to fame after the success of the first film back in 2001.&nbsp; 
 
Hathaway, though in several interviews over the years has expressed her desire to be a part of the sequel if it was to be made.&nbsp;“I would more than entertain it, I’m pulling for it,” Hathaway told Entertainment Tonight in October 2022.&nbsp;

“If there’s any way to get Julie Andrews involved, I think we would make it work. We would go to where she was and put a green screen behind her and just make it happen.” 
 
The 2001 film has Hathaway playing a high schooler Mia Thermopolis who learns that she is next in line for the throne of a fictional country called Genovia. Julie Andrews played her grandmother who is tasked to get Mia ready for her new role.&nbsp; 
 
The film was based on Meg Cabot's novel series and also featured Mandy Moore, Sandra Oh, and Heather Matarazzo.

In the second film, which released in 2004, Hathaway's character married Chris Pine's character.&nbsp; 
 
Rumours suggest the third part will have Hathaway teaching her own daughter some etiquettes of a princess.

Dr Luke, born Lukasz Gottwald, denied the allegations.
