\n\tDisney may not be bringing Julie Andrews<\/a> back for \u201cPrincess Diaries 3<\/a>,\u201d but it\u2019s not for lack of trying. The offer is still on the table if Andrews ever changes her mind, according to franchise star Anne Hathaway<\/a>, who will reprise the role of Mia Thermopolis in the film. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cFirst of all, I just want to say if she has a change of heart, we\u2019re down,\u201d Hathaway told Entertainment Tonight<\/a> at D23. \u201cBut we also want to be respectful. For goodness sakes, if anybody has contributed to the world of entertainment and to our collective joy, it\u2019s her. Whatever she wants, we completely understand. We did push really hard to see if she would want to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI just want it to be fun. The women who were six when the first one came out \u2014 a lot of whom are now mothers themselves, maybe even with six-year-olds \u2014 I want them to feel like they\u2019re bringing their children to something that mattered to them,\u201d Hathaway continued. <\/p>\n

\n\tAndrews recently confirmed<\/a> in an interview with Today that she would not be playing Queen Clarisse again. \u201cI think I probably passed\u2026 I think I\u2019m retired, really, would be about the best description for that,\u201d she said. \u201cThey asked me all last year if I would be keen to do it. It was very very hard to say \u2018no,\u2019 but I did because I thought I had a wonderful ride, and this one I felt would flourish very well and wouldn\u2019t need Granny going in there at my age.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Disney may not be bringing Julie Andrews back for \u201cPrincess Diaries 3,\u201d but it\u2019s not for lack of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":598711,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[7245,93,61,60,62061,270,236108],"class_list":["post-598710","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-anne-hathaway","tag-entertainment","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-julie-andrews","tag-movies","tag-princess-diaries-3"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598710","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=598710"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/598710\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/598711"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=598710"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=598710"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=598710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
