Ted Lasso Fans Are Buzzing Over Roy’s Iconic Princess Diaries Reference – Looper

Roy Kent’s love for “The Princess Diaries” proved that even after all this time, “Ted Lasso” still has secrets to reveal about its fan-favorite characters. On Twitter, @lou_815 wrote, “Roy Kent saying ‘F*** yeah, Princess Diaries’ is my favorite thing this year so far,” while the comment made @balfescoconut’s day, giving them an early win to start the day. @Ladyccrawley couldn’t believe the fandoms that Roy Kent associates with, saying, “Roy Kent?? the sound of music and the princess diaries stan?? MY MAN.”

Other fans pointed out that the random “Princess Diaries” callout further cements the greatness of “Ted Lasso.” @Lill_waters said, “Trent Crimm (Independent) picking Queen Clarisse Renaldi and Roy Kent responding excitedly ‘Princess Diaries’ is the reason ‘Ted Lasso’ is absolute perfection.” @JessicaHarries couldn’t get enough of the reference, calling the series “absolutely ridiculous” but loving every minute.

However, @aylinishere made a good point, pointing out that the AFC Richmond coaches called the reference a “deep cut,” stating they grew up on the “Princess Diaries” movies. @Sudslasso stood up for the younger audience, saying that the older Julie Andrews projects they listed are deeper cuts than “Princess Diaries,” proving there is an entire generation that grew up on the series.

Whether you associate Julie Andrews with “The Princess Diaries,” “The Sound of Music,” or any other project, it’s clear that there’s still plenty of love in the world for the actress. Hopefully, this shows her that her fans need her to return for “Princess Diaries 3.”
