In a television moment brimming with raw honesty, Princess Andre, the 17-year-old daughter of singer Peter Andre and glamour model Katie Price, has publicly addressed the profound distance in her relationship with her mother. The revelation came during a candid interview for her new ITV documentary series, 'My Life'.
The teenager, who is stepping into the spotlight on her own terms, did not shy away from the most personal of topics. When questioned about the current state of her bond with Katie Price, her response was poignant and direct.
"I don't really see my mum that much, so I don't have a relationship with her," Princess stated, her words carrying a weight that belied her years.
This heartfelt disclosure provides a rare and unfiltered glimpse into the long-running and often publicised friction between her parents, which has played out in the media since their highly publicised divorce in 2009.
A Father's Steadfast Support
In stark contrast, Princess was effusive in her praise for her father, Peter Andre. She painted a picture of a devoted and protective dad who has been her rock amidst the turbulence.
"My dad is literally my best friend," she shared warmly. "I tell him everything... he's the most protective dad ever."
She detailed his unwavering support for her burgeoning career in fashion and modelling, noting that while he is incredibly supportive, his paternal instinct to shield her from the harsher aspects of the industry is always present.
Stepping Out of the Shadow and Into the Spotlight
The ITV series is set to follow Princess and her older brother, Junior, as they carve their own paths in the creative industries, all while living under the immense shadow of their famous parents.
Princess spoke about the unique challenges of growing up Andre, acknowledging the constant public scrutiny. "It's hard because everyone knows who I am... but I just want to be known for me," she explained, articulating a desire to be recognised for her own talents and identity rather than just her lineage.
This documentary marks a significant step in that very direction, offering her a platform to tell her own story, in her own words.
The premiere of 'My Life' is anticipated to draw significant viewership, as the public gets an intimate look at the next generation of a British showbiz dynasty navigating love, loss, and legacy.
