Chris Pine addresses Princess Diaries 3 cast speculation as fans spot tell-tale sign that he'll return

As a dedicated fan who has grown up with The Princess Diaries franchise, I can’t help but feel both excited and nostalgic upon hearing Chris Pine’s non-committal response about reprising his role as Nicholas Devereaux in the long-awaited third installment. With Anne Hathaway confirming her return, it seems that Genovia is once again on the brink of royal drama.


Chris Pine discusses potential return for his character Nicholas Devereaux in The Princess Diaries 3, following Anne Hathaway’s confirmation of her participation in the eagerly awaited film sequel.

Hoda Kotb and Jenna Bush Hager quickly quizzed Chris, aged 44, about his role in the upcoming third installment during their appearance on Today with Hoda & Jenna on Tuesday.

Hoda, aged 60, exclaimed it as surprising news when she asked Chris, “Anne Hathaway made a video saying Princess Diaries 3 is officially in the works, and people were excited, so what’s your take on that?

Regarding Anne’s video, Chris said, “She seems really relaxed on that couch,” before confessing, “I don’t know a thing!” However, as Jenna, 42, exclaimed, “What?”, the actor quickly responded, “Don’t you think you look…” and began laughing.

Jenna was surprised when Hoda exclaimed, “You’re the lead in The Princess Diaries!” This caused Jenna’s co-host to comment, “We can’t have The Princess Diaries without you!

In a friendly manner, the Star Trek actor responded, “That’s really kind,” and then suggested, “Give Disney a call, reach out to Bob Iger,” indicating the CEO of The Walt Disney Company.

Later, Jenna inquired, “So, are you the one providing the answer?” To this, he replied, “To be honest, I don’t know anything about it, but I think it’s amazing.” However, Jenna didn’t stop there and began sharing fan posts on X.

Jenna commented, “Here are some quotes like this one… ‘If we had to haul Chris Pine by his man bun and flip phone to the set…’ I’d love to see more examples of these,” and Hoda agreed, “There are plenty of similar ones available.

After Jenna inquired about the whereabouts of his man bun, Chris responded by sharing that he had changed his hairstyle.

He shared, “Indeed, the person who made me self-conscious about my long hair is here – she’s my publicist, and last time I had long hair, she mentioned I resembled Rachel from Friends.” On hearing this, Hoda and Jenna couldn’t help but laugh heartily.

At certain instances, I get this sense of accomplishment and pride, but then, there are moments when I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror and recall Melissa mentioning that I resemble Rachel from Friends. This remark usually dampens my spirits significantly.

At-home viewers swiftly spotted Chris’s new, shorter hairstyle, leading some to speculate that this could mean he’s appearing in The Princess Diaries 3.

On platform once referred to as Twitter, a devotee humorously commented: “Chris Pine’s hair has returned short and he’s clueless on Princess Diaries 3?!? Grant me some solitude in these moments.

Wow, I just can’t contain my excitement here! Someone mentioned that Chris Pine shaved his hair, and I’m simply blown away! Could it be for the role of Prince Charming in Princess Diariess? Oh my goodness, I hope so! 🤩💃👑

Discussion on various social media platforms started up following Anne’s confirmation video about her participation, which was released last Friday.

One user commented, “I hope Chris Pine is in The Princess Diaries 3,” while another asked, “Will Chris Pine be a part of The Princess Diaries 3 cast?

For individuals unfamiliar with The Princess Diaries series, you may not fully grasp the significance of Chris Pine in the storyline. The final film ended somewhat unresolved, which is a crucial point for many fans who have developed strong emotions towards this movie.

Prior to securing the role of Nicholas in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement, Chris had minor appearances in TV series like ER and CSI: Miami.

In the film, Nicholas ends up marrying Mia Thermopolis, a character portrayed by Anne, thereby allowing Mia to ascend to the throne previously held by Julie Andrews’ character, as queen of Genovia.
