Katie Price has been spotted arriving back in London for the first time since being banned from daughter Princess Andre’s 18th birthday celebrations. Touching down at Gatwick Airport on Friday after a lavish Dubai getaway, the 47-year-old reality star was seen carrying luxury shopping bags, including goodies from perfume house Penhaligon’s.
Dressed casually in grey joggers and a crop top that showed off her enhanced figure, Katie made a solo appearance just days after it was confirmed she wouldn’t be part of Princess’s milestone birthday — a decision reportedly made by the team producing Princess’s upcoming ITV reality series.
The fly-on-the-wall show, made by Peter Andre’s management company CAN Associates, excludes Katie from any on-screen appearances. Katie took to Instagram to express her heartbreak, sharing emotional quotes and reposts to defend her love for Princess.
The rift seems to run deep. During her podcast this week, Katie launched a veiled attack on “people who used to look after me,” believed to be CAN, as she questioned why she wasn’t allowed to be seen with her daughter publicly.
She also made headlines after mistakenly posting her birthday tribute to Princess two days early, only to delete it in embarrassment. Despite the distance, Katie pointed out that Princess was wearing the shoes she gifted her last Christmas — a moment that brought a rare smile.
As cameras continue to follow Princess on her new career path, including meetings with brands like GHD and events like Boohoo’s summer party, it’s clear her star is rising — with or without her mum in the spotlight.
