Princess Andre has posted a cryptic reflection on the "lows and emotional moments" of the past year, following a vicious public row between her parents sparked by her debut reality television series.
A Year of Highs and Lows
The 18-year-old daughter of former couple Peter Andre and Katie Price took to Instagram on Friday to share a heartfelt review of her year. Her post came after significant family drama stemming from the ITV show The Princess Diaries, which documented her life but deliberately excluded her mother from filming.
"Wow… what a year," Princess wrote. "It's been full of highs and lows, emotional moments, and a lot of growth. I've learned so much about myself and I'm genuinely proud of what I've achieved." She expressed gratitude for the experiences and lessons, offering support to others who found the year tough, reminding them there is "always light at the end of the tunnel."
Reality Show Sparks Family Feud
The debut series of The Princess Diaries, which aired in August last year, followed Princess as she began building a public career. The show featured her father Peter, stepmother Emily MacDonagh, and brother Junior, but notably omitted her mother, glamour model Katie Price.
Katie, 47, hit out publicly, feeling "disrespected" and "disregarded." She claimed the snub was orchestrated by Peter Andre and his management team. The fallout was severe enough that Peter and Emily have now reportedly pulled out of the upcoming second series to quell the controversy surrounding Katie's absence.
A Dramatic Turnaround for Series Two
In a surprising twist, it has now been reported that Katie Price has filmed scenes for the second series of her daughter's show. A source told The Sun that while not a full-time participant, Katie will appear via video calls like FaceTime, giving her a presence in the new episodes.
"It's quite the turnaround as Katie was banned from appearing last time around," the source said, noting that both Princess and Katie wanted her involvement. This marks a significant shift from the first series, where Katie was only heard in a voice recording.
The show's popularity secured it two more seasons. However, the ongoing tension was clear when Katie vented on her podcast, upset at being barred from supporting her daughter's career moves, which mirror her own early path in the public eye.
Princess's poignant New Year message hints at the personal toll this very public family dispute has taken, even as filming continues for the next chapter of her televised life.
