ITV has recommissioned The Princess Diaries from All3Media’s Optomen.
Chronicling the life of fledgling fashion icon and social media sensation Princess Andre, The Princess Diaries will be back on ITV2 and ITVX in 2026 with two separate four part series.
The first series, which charted Princess’ endeavours and family life as she prepared to embrace adulthood and turn 18, was a hit with audiences, becoming ITV2’s biggest launch outside of Love Island and Big Brother. The launch episode consolidated with one million viewers and the show has currently been streamed 6.4 million times.
Highlights throughout included Princess’ catwalk debut at the Ibiza Fashion Festival, and an access all areas insight into Princess’ career as she set about signing her first major brand partnership.
Amanda Stvri, Commissioning Editor for Reality and Entertainment at ITV, said “Princess dominated side bars and social media throughout the Summer and as our streams show, the ITV audience whole heartedly embraced her. Now reality fans can look forward to not one but two more chapters in Princess’ story as we line up two new series for next year, as Princess embraces independence and adulthood.”
Tina Flintoff, Creative Director for Optomen said ‘’Princess is such a pleasure to work. We’re delighted the series did so well and that we’ve been given the opportunity to continue bringing her story to life. Princess has so many exciting ventures planned over the next six months and we cant wait to share them with her fans.”
