said there is a possibility of a third film in the franchise.


The prospect of a 'Princess Diaries 3' first came about last year when the movie's director Garry Marshall passed away and original cast member Julie Andrews had said that Anne Hathaway already "had an idea" for a third installment. "(It) could happen, as we say. I am not allowed to say. I would love to sit and talk about (it), but I can't. I'm not allowed."

"But it's really more following the movie than the books, so if she - the last version I read, she definitely did not find out that she has a biracial younger sister...Which I personally would've thought was hilarious, but that was not the direction they were going," Cabot said.

'The Princess Diaries' first hit screens in 2001 and its sequel (2004's 'Royal Engagement') saw Hathaway and Andrews returning, alongside new cast members Chris Pine and Raven Symone.
