According to industry insider Daniel RPK, the third installment of the franchise will introduce Anne Hathaway’s Mia Thermopolis as the Queen of Genovia, which opens up a new position for a princess. It is rumored that Zendaya is being considered for the role of a biracial princess, although nothing has been confirmed by Disney.

While Aadrita Mukherji has been confirmed as the screenplay writer, no director has been chosen for the project after Garry Marshall’s passing. It remains unclear if the movie will pull some materials from the shelves of the planned Disney+ spin-off, which was expected to center around Mia Thermopolis’ half-sister, a character yet to be introduced in the movies.
Although rumors are circulating that Zendaya might join the cast of The Princess Diaries franchise, nothing has been confirmed by Disney. If the rumors are true, it would be a new high in Zendaya’s career. Both The Princess Diaries movies are available for streaming on Disney+.
