Mandy Moore has set the internet abuzz with speculation about her potential return to the much-anticipated Princess Diaries 3. In a recent Instagram post celebrating the anniversary of the beloved franchise, Moore hinted at her involvement, leaving fans eager for more details.
Moore shared a nostalgic message on Instagram: “And just like that, #ThePrincessDiaries turns a year older and a year sweeter! What a gift.” She further intrigued followers by adding, “And as I look through old photos, which brings back old memories, I realize how much I like the number 3.”
The mention of the number three in her caption has led many fans to speculate that Moore might be hinting at her return as Lana Thomas, the iconic mean girl from the first film. Although Moore’s character did not appear in the sequel, The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement (2004), her return could add an exciting twist to the anticipated third installment.
The idea of a third movie has been a topic of discussion for years. Following the death of original director Garry Marshall in 2016, progress on the project stalled, but interest has remained high. Julie Andrews, who portrayed Queen Clarisse Renaldi, has expressed mixed feelings about the potential sequel, acknowledging the franchise’s legacy while expressing optimism if the project were to move forward.
Moore has previously expressed enthusiasm for reprising her role, suggesting a redemptive arc for Lana Thomas could be an intriguing addition to the story. “I would be down,” Moore shared in an interview earlier this year, though she noted the challenge of integrating her character into the new narrative.
As fans eagerly await official confirmation, Moore’s recent social media activity has only intensified the buzz around The Princess Diaries 3. Whether or not Moore will return remains to be seen, but her hints have certainly reignited excitement among fans of the franchise.
