Princess Diaries 3: A Royal Return and Anne Hathaway’s Ex Raffaello Follieri’s Absence
As Disney gears up for the highly anticipated Princess Diaries 3, fans are eager to see Anne Hathaway reprise her role as Mia Thermopolis, the relatable teen turned royal queen of Genovia. Director Adele Lim, known for her work on Crazy Rich Asians and Joy Ride, is set to bring the beloved franchise back to life. Hathaway, who shot to fame as Mia, will not only star in the film but also serve as a producer.
The announcement of Princess Diaries 3 has sparked excitement among fans, who have been waiting to see Mia’s journey continue since the first movie released in 2001, followed by a sequel in 2004. However, as Hathaway’s career flourishes, some fans are reminded of her past relationship with Raffaello Follieri, a man whose fall from grace made headlines worldwide.
Follieri, an Italian businessman, once captivated the actress with his charm and lavish lifestyle. However, in 2008, his empire crumbled when he was arrested on charges of fraud, conspiracy, and money laundering in a scandal known as the “Vati-Con.” Hathaway ended their relationship before his arrest, and Follieri was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in federal prison.
After serving his sentence and being deported to Italy in 2012, Follieri disappeared from the public eye. But in recent years, he has resurfaced as a visionary entrepreneur in the green energy sector. As the CEO of F Holding UAE/Follieri Capital Limited, Follieri has spearheaded initiatives in renewable energy, focusing on electric vehicle chargers and hydrogen technology, making his mark in sustainability efforts.
Follieri’s ventures now span across Italy, Greece, and the Middle East, with a strong focus on innovation and sustainability. His leadership in transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy has positioned his company as a global player in the industry, with significant success and market capitalization.
Born and raised in Italy, Follieri’s journey began at the University of Roma La Sapienza before co-founding the Follieri Group in the United States. His shift to green energy marked a new chapter in his career, with a strong commitment to sustainability and innovation driving his business forward.
Despite his successes in the business world, Follieri’s past continues to linger, with questions raised about the authenticity of his claims and business dealings. However, he remains focused on expanding Follieri Energy’s reach and securing a listing on the London Stock Exchange in the future, showcasing his determination to succeed in the face of past controversies.
