Reality TV star Katie Price has sparked controversy after seemingly ignoring her daughter Princess Andre's milestone 17th birthday. The former glamour model, known for her turbulent personal life, failed to make any public tribute to her eldest daughter on social media – a stark contrast to her usual lavish posts about her children.
A Birthday Without Mum's Blessing
Princess, whose father is singer Peter Andre, celebrated her birthday surrounded by friends and family – but noticeably absent was any public acknowledgement from her mother. Fans were quick to point out the omission, with many taking to social media to express their disappointment.
History of Strained Relations
This isn't the first time tensions between mother and daughter have made headlines. The pair have had a complicated relationship in recent years, with Princess reportedly preferring to live with her father for stability. Insiders suggest the teenager has grown increasingly distant from her mother's chaotic lifestyle.
Social Media Reacts
The internet has been buzzing with speculation about the apparent snub:
- "How can a mother forget her own daughter's birthday?" tweeted one concerned fan
- "Princess seems so mature – maybe she asked for privacy this year" countered another
- "This family drama never ends" lamented a long-time follower of the Price-Andre saga
While Katie has remained silent on the matter, Princess appeared unbothered as she shared joyful birthday snaps with her 1.3 million Instagram followers. The teenager looked radiant in a pink mini dress as she celebrated with cake and balloons.
A Pattern of Controversy
This incident adds to Katie Price's growing list of parental controversies. The 45-year-old has faced criticism in recent years for her parenting choices, from allowing her children on adult-themed reality shows to her very public personal struggles.
Family experts suggest that such public omissions can be particularly painful for teenagers. "Birthdays are symbolic moments," explains relationship psychologist Dr Emma Stevens. "When they're ignored, especially in the public eye, it can reinforce feelings of rejection."
Whether this was a deliberate snub or simply a case of a busy mother forgetting remains unclear. But in the world of celebrity parenting, where every post is scrutinised, the absence of birthday wishes speaks volumes to fans and critics alike.
