Princess Andre has addressed rumours of a family rift after her mum Katie Price unleashed a furious rant about being left out of her daughter’s brand-new reality TV series.
The 18-year-old, daughter of Katie and Peter Andre, is set to make her solo television debut with The Princess Diaries on ITV this Sunday. The documentary promises an inside look at her rising career and personal life – but the launch has been overshadowed by her mother’s claims that she was “not allowed” to take part.
On her podcast, Katie admitted she was “very, very, very upset” about the situation, saying she had always supported Princess’s ambitions but was hurt to be excluded from photo shoots, signings, and public appearances. “I’ve been to every assembly, Christmas play, and awards ceremony. I’ve always been involved. So why now am I not welcome?” she fumed, adding that she offered to appear for free but was refused.
Katie also expressed frustration that Princess had signed with The CAN Group – a management company she has long been at odds with – insisting she only wants the best for both Princess and her brother Junior.
The CAN Group has since responded, stating: “Our duty of care to clients is paramount. We have never stopped anyone from seeing their families and would never advise on a client’s personal life unless asked.”
Princess herself has shut down any talk of a feud, telling the Daily Mail: “It’s my show – it’s focused on me, not my parents. There’s no rift between me and either of them. Any family issues will be dealt with privately.”
The series will also capture Princess turning 18. While Katie was absent from the birthday party thrown by Peter, Princess clarified her mum was never banned. “Usually I’d spend the morning with one parent and the evening with the other, but mum was away, and dad organised a last-minute party. Honestly, it would be awkward if they were both in the same room – I’m sure a lot of kids with divorced parents understand that.”
