“I have a problem keeping my mouth shut,” Meg Cabot admits to The Hollywood Reporter, before the author reveals that she has already seen scripts for The Princess Diaries 3.
She’s seen several different iterations, in fact, of the franchise’s anticipated next installment, in which Anne Hathaway will reprise her role as Mia Thermopolis, Queen of Genovia.
“I read a script, and it was amazing. I told them not to send anymore, because I love it so much,” Cabot quips. “They don’t like it when you tell people what’s gonna happen yet. So I was like, ‘Better not send me any more scripts!’”
