Julie Andrews Seen in Public for First Time Since Announcing She’s Almost “Completely Retired”

Julie Andrews was spotted in the Hamptons, New York on October 16.

The actress turned 91 earlier this month.

In August, Andrews revealed that she's almost "completely retired."

Julie Andrews enjoyed a rare outing two months after revealing that she's almost "completely retired." The actress , 91, was photographed in the Hamptons , New York on October 16.

In photos obtained by Page Six , Andrews could be seen wearing a purple coat, a white baseball cap, and sunglasses as got out of her car.

Andrews, who turned 91 on October 1, last walked a red carpet in 2023. More recently, she revealed her decision to step away from onscreen roles. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter in August, Andrews explained why she decided not to return for the third installment in the Princess Diaries film franchise.

"I think the absolute truth is that I think I'm really past all that now," she told the magazine. "I'm not completely retired, but it's a different kind of work that I do these days—[writing] books, and I do a lot of recording of podcasts and voiceovers. But truly, I don't think I should be a part of it."

Andrews added that it's "still lovely to be working on things," though not "necessarily on camera."

"It isn't that I'm not enthusiastic for it. It's just that I really don't feel I should be part of it now," she continued.

Based on Meg Cabot's books of the same name, the original Princess Diaries movie came out in 2001. Anne Hathaway is set to reprise her role as Mia Thermopolis in the upcoming third installment. In the same THR interview, Andrews was asked about what she thinks the new film will entail.

"Actually don't know," she said. "I think it proceeds from the second Princess Diaries . It moves on, but by now Annie too is a little older than she was when she did it. I'm interested to see what Meg [Cabot] and Annie and everybody comes up with."
