The duo starred together in the first and second Princess Diaries films

Julie Andrews just turned 83 — and her onscreen granddaughterAnne Hathaway is making sure the screen and stage legend knows just how appreciated she is.

Hathaway, 35, posted a heartfelt birthday tribute to the Sound of Music leading lady on Instagram on Monday. Alongside a regal still from the Princess Diaries series, in which Andrews played her grandmother, Hathaway listed the many lessons that she has picked up from Andrews.

Hathaway started, “The importance of grace; The knowledge that power is nothing without respect; Why one must have patience, positivity, perspective, manners, kindness, and humility Always, To everyone, (No exceptions); The joy in treating people as a gift rather than a burden; How far choosing gratitude can get you…”

“If I know anything about any of this, It’s because I was lucky enough to have learned from the very best at the very beginning,” Hathaway continued. “Happy Birthday Julie, Queen Eternal. All my love, Annie.”
