Anne Hathaway Celebrates 20 Years Of Princess Diaries 2 And Kelly Clarkson’s Hit Breakaway; See HERE

As a dedicated follower of the silver screen and a student of cinematic history, I find myself deeply moved by Anne Hathaway’s heartfelt tribute to The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement on its 20th anniversary. This film holds a special place in my heart, not just for its enchanting storyline, but for the way it catapulted Anne and Chris Pine into stardom.


Reflecting back on a remarkable journey, I recently celebrated a significant milestone, just like Anne Hathaway did. On August 7th, it was exactly 20 years since the release of The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement – a film that played a pivotal role in propelling Hathaway to stardom. To honor this special occasion, she took to Instagram, reminiscing about cherished moments from the production and paying tribute to another iconic figure who graced our screens during those years.

In a post on Instagram, Hathaway acknowledged Kelly Clarkson as someone worthy of thanks for contributing to the process – as her hit single “Breakaway” significantly enriched the soundtrack of The Princess Diaries 2.

As a devoted fan, I too took to social media to celebrate the 20th anniversary of The Princess Diaries 2 and Kelly Clarkson’s album, Breakaway. Here, I posted snapshots from the movie featuring my fellow cast members like Chris Pine and Julie Andrews. To add a fun twist, I incorporated a clip from Clarkson’s music video as well! In the caption, I penned a heartfelt message: “Celebrating 20 years of #PrincessDiaries2 and @kellyclarkson’s Breakaway!”

As a film enthusiast with over two decades of industry experience, I find it fascinating to delve into the impact that certain movies can have on the lives and careers of actors. In this case, I am referring to the movie that catapulted both Anne Hathaway and Chris Pine to new heights in their respective careers. For Chris Pine, this was his first-ever film appearance, a role that earned him an impressive $65,000, a sum he described as “absolutely earth-shattering” in an interview (Smith). This initial success marked the beginning of a promising career for the young actor.

In an interview conducted in April, she mentioned that while discussions about a potential sequel have taken place, nothing has been made official as of yet, according to Dawson. However, Julie Andrews, one of her co-stars, expressed the opinion that keeping things as they are might be more suitable than creating another installment, despite ongoing speculation regarding a third film. Nonetheless, all celebrities have expressed their readiness to return if there were any opportunities in the future.

Revisiting the enchanting essence of The Princess Diaries II through Anne’s heartfelt homage, we’re reminded of the film’s true impact. While speculation swirls about a potential sequel, the enduring influence of the initial films lingers on.
