Julie Andrews made an appearance on Thursday’s episode of Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen to celebrate her new memoir, Home Work: A Memoir of My Hollywood Years. 

The 84-year-old iconic actress who starred as Queen Clarisse Renaldi in the Princess Diaries franchise said that while she hasn’t heard anything official regarding a third installment, she would love to do the film. 

Amidst rumors that a third Princess Diaries film is happening, the film’s star Anne Hathaway confirmed that there was, in fact, a script for a third installment during a different appearance on Cohen’s show. 

But Andrews doesn’t have any details to share. “The truth is I haven’t heard. There’s been talk about it for quite awhile. I think she’s [Hathaway] had or is having a second child. She’s busy and I’ve been busy.” 

“I think if it happens it will be lovely, and if it doesn’t I wouldn’t have known about it,” she added. 

But her most beloved role is still played the iconic nanny Mary Poppins. Andrews said of the new version Mary Poppins Returns starring Emily Blunt, “I loved it. The first film was made over 60 years ago. I think it’s about time a second one was allowed.”
