Princess Andre has hit back at claims that her family feuding after her mother claimed her new show branded her ‘trash’.
The 18-year-old has recently been promoting her new reality TV series with ITV titled The Princess Diaries, which is set to launch on Sunday.
Yesterday, she appeared on This Morning alongside her brother Junior to talk about a valuable lesson they learned from their parents Katie Price and Peter Andre.
Now, however, Princess has addressed rumours that her mother was ‘banned’ from being on her new show, which follows a recent string of events, including her 18th birthday party, where Katie said she wasn’t welcome.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, the young TV star said: ‘It’s my show, it’s not based on my parents, it’s focused on me. To be honest, there’s no rift between me and either of my parents.’
Discussing her birthday party in particular, which was thrown by her father Peter and Katie did not attend, she added: ‘What I would usually do, as I’ve done my whole life, would be to spend the morning with one parent and the evening with the other.
‘As it happened, mum ended up being away, and dad had already decided to throw me a last-minute birthday party, which we filmed for the show.
‘But anyhow, it would be weird if both parents were in the same room, as I’m sure a lot of people out there with divorced parents can relate to.’
Just days before the launch of her new ITV2 show, Katie told her sister Sophie Price on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, on an episode titled The Truth Behind The Princess Diaries, that she has been deliberately cut out of the new TV series because it wasn’t good for Princess’s brand.
‘I want the best for Junior and Princess, and I would never get in the way of it,’ she said.
‘But what hurts my feelings, and it does upset me, is when your kids grow up, you go to their assemblies, you go to their Christmas things, you go to their awards, you go to their football matches or gymnastics, you’re involved in everything they do.
‘And knowing that, what my career has been, Princess is taking that same path, trying to do the same as what I’ve done, which I absolutely love and adore [about] Princess.’
She then added that she ‘wasn’t welcome’ and felt concerned that she was putting her daughter in an awkward position.
‘But I have not been allowed to go on any photo shoot, no signings or Superdrug openings or anything like that. Why? Because I’m not allowed and I’m not welcome.
‘And it puts Princess in a situation because I don’t want her to feel she has to choose between me and her work, because I want her to do well.
‘And I have said to Princess, just see how it feels for me because I should be there supporting you, I want to be there to support you like my family did. And I’m your mum, and especially as you’re doing stuff that I did, I’m proud of you and want to be there.’
She also claimed that it was her ex-husband and the management team who were stopping her from being involved.
Speaking on This Morning, Princess spoke about growing up in the spotlight, saying: ‘I feel like the way I think about it is if you’re putting yourself out there, you have to expect negativity and positivity too.
‘We learnt from our parents how to deal with it. There are horrible people, but we just have to deal with it.’
The Princess Diaries is available to watch on ITV from 9pm on Sunday.
