Julie Andrewsis expressing her thoughts about starring in a potentialPrincess Diaries 3.
While speaking toAccess Hollywoodfor an interview published on Tuesday, theSound of Musicstar shared whether she would be reprising her role as Queen Clarisse Renaldi in the potential sequel of the movie.
“I think we know thatit’s probably not going to be possible,” Andrews, 87, said. “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.”
Andrews played the grandmother ofAnne Hathaway’s character Mia Thermopolis in the movie. During the chat, the British actress added that Hathaway is “a great friend.”
The Princess Diarieslaunched a then-18-year-old Hathaway, now 40, to fame after its 2001 debut, and even inspired a sequel, 2004’sThe Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement.
Alongside Hathaway and Andrews, the film also starsMandy Moore, Heather Matarazzo,Sandra OhandLarry Miller.
