Princess Andre, the 18-year-old daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre, has been praised for speaking openly about periods on her new ITV2 reality show The Princess Diaries. In the first episode, which aired on Sunday evening, Princess candidly discussed the challenges of attending a glamorous event while on her period, including cramps and the fear of leaking.
While preparing for a Mission Impossible premiere with her father and brother Junior, 20, Princess told cameras: "This is not good! I feel like it's a huge pressure to look perfect at these glamorous events, there are paps there, and anything little thing that's wrong, people point it out and there's loads of comments about it. So that's dodgy nails, and I'm on my period, but apart from that, I'm red carpet ready!"
The situation escalated when Princess had to stop at a hotel to use the bathroom due to cramps. In a confessional, she said: "This is honestly the worst nightmare. Girls, you know exactly what I'm on about. You're wearing a nice dress, you're going to an event or a special event and you've just leaked. Yeah, the panic is real." She later checked with her father whether the leak had gone through her dress, but was relieved to find it had not.
Fans praised Princess for normalising periods and reducing stigma. One wrote on X: "Hats off to Princess Andre for talking about her periods in her reality show. Her life might not be normal but she is normalising something that usually carries stigma and shame." Others complimented the sibling bond between Princess and Junior.
The episode also featured a voice note from Katie Price, who discussed Princess's childhood behaviour. Princess described their relationship as "best friends." However, Katie has previously expressed upset over being excluded from the show and her daughter's career management, which is handled by Peter Andre's team.
