"[Anne Hathaway] came into my office pregnant," revealed "Princess Diaries 3" director Garry Marshall via Vanity Fair. "She sat down next to my desk, put her computer on my desk, pushed three buttons, and suddenly Julie Andrews was on the screen from Long Island, New York!"

Julie Andrews played Queen Dowager Clarisse Renaldi in the "Princess Diaries" films and Garry Marshall confirmed that the legendary actress is up for reprising her role in "Princess Diaries 3" once Disney gives it a go. However, Marshall also dished that he might not be sitting on the director's chair this time around as he's 81. "I will certainly take part in it, though," he told Vanity Fair.
