Recently, Anne Hathaway celebrated a special milestone. On August 7, she celebrated the 20th anniversary of her film The Princess Diaries 2. This 2004 film was crucial to Hathaway’s rise to stardom. To commemorate the event, Hathaway posted on Instagram where she recalled some great moments while also paying tribute to another pop icon from that era.

In her Instagram caption, Hathaway mentioned one person who deserves gratitude for being part of this process – Kelly Clarkson. Her best-selling song Breakaway became one of the defining songs on the Princess Diaries 2 soundtrack.

Hathaway also shared photos from the film featuring her friends like Chris Pine and Julie Andrews, and also included a video clip from Clarkson’s music video. In her caption, Hathaway wrote, “Happy 20th anniversary to #PrincessDiaries2 and @kellyclarkson’s breakaway!”

This film was quite significant for Anne Hathaway and Chris Pine. It was his first appearance in a film that earned him $65,000, which he described as “absolutely earth-shattering” according to his interview at the time (Smith). In contrast, Hathaway has spoken about whether or not there will be another installment.

In an interview in April, she said that although it has been discussed, nothing is official yet (Dawson). However, Julie Andrews, one of her co-stars, said that despite the rumors of a third installment, it was probably better to just leave it as it is rather than do another one (Cohen). Despite this, all of the celebrities confirmed that they would be willing to return if the opportunity arose.

As fans reminisce about the charm of The Princess Diaries II, this tribute from Anne brings back the true meaning of it all. While questions may arise as to whether there will ever be a sequel, the legacy of the original films remains.
