On what should’ve been a joyful milestone in her daughter’s life, Katie Price found herself feeling completely sidelined.
The 47-year-old former glamour model opened up on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, about being banned from attending her daughter Princess’s 18th birthday celebration—and she didn’t hold back.
Birthday Ban Sparks Frustration
While chatting with her sister Sophie on the upcoming podcast episode, Katie vented her frustration.
She revealed that not only was she not invited, but the event was being filmed for Princess’s upcoming ITV reality series—something Katie isn’t even allowed to appear in.
“Princess is now an adult,” Katie began.
“So technically, we could go out together—if only certain people would let her be seen with me.”
Sophie chimed in, mentioning that in the birthday photos, Princess was wearing the shoes Katie got her for Christmas.
That small detail lit up Katie’s mood for a moment.
“Oh did she? I love that,” she smiled, before quickly returning to her main gripe: “Everyone knows she’s filming this documentary—but I’m not part of it.
Apparently, I’m not good for her image. According to some people who used to manage me.”
A Rift That Runs Deep
It’s clear the situation isn’t just about a missed party.
Katie was alluding to her former PR team, CAN Associates, who now manage Peter Andre—her ex-husband—and their children, including Princess and Junior.
Back when Katie and Pete were a power couple, CAN Associates helped launch their reality TV fame.
But since their split in 2009, Katie’s relationship with the company deteriorated—and that fallout has now cost her a seat at her own daughter’s milestone moment.
No Invite, No Show
According to reports from MailOnline, Katie wasn’t even considered for the guest list.
A source close to the production said there was never any plan for Katie to be there.
“It was best she wasn’t,” the insider claimed, explaining that the focus should’ve been on Princess and her budding career, not on her mum’s headline-making behavior.
“Katie’s been busy living it up in Dubai, posing in bikinis, stirring up the press—as usual,” the source added.
“Meanwhile, Princess has been grinding quietly behind the scenes. This is her time.”
Princess Steps Into the Spotlight
Princess has been filming her new TV series and meeting with major brands, including styling giant GHD.
She even graced the red carpet at fashion parties and walked the runway at the Ibiza Fashion Festival, joined by her brother Junior and his girlfriend, Jasmine Orr.
The crew captured every moment—without her mother anywhere in the frame.
Interestingly, Katie did fly to Ibiza just three days later.
But she wasn’t there for family bonding.
Instead, she was busy promoting her AI alter-ego “Jordan” through a racy new startup called OhChat, which allows users to engage with hyper-realistic digital versions of celebrities.
Katie became their first British avatar, reportedly earning a six-figure payday.
Family Tensions Play Out Publicly
Despite being in the same location, Princess didn’t reunite with her mum.
While Junior stayed back for a vacation with his girlfriend, Princess flew home with the film crew—alone.
Katie did share a video from Ibiza with Junior and Jasmine, praising her son’s girlfriend and trying to show some family connection.
But Princess’s absence from that clip spoke volumes.
Influenced by Dad’s Discipline
Those close to the family say that Princess and Junior have thrived under the guidance of their father, Peter Andre, and step-mum Emily.
Pete is known for his structured parenting style—prioritizing education, respect, and boundaries, unlike Katie’s unpredictable lifestyle.
One source shared, “There were real concerns Princess might follow her mum’s path.
But thankfully, both kids are polite, respectful, and incredibly grounded. They’re a credit to Pete and Emily.”
Katie’s Role in Princess’s Future
While Katie clearly adores her children, there’s an undeniable sense that her involvement might jeopardize Princess’s professional growth.
“Princess has been impressive—hardworking, down-to-earth,” the source added.
“Her show is just the beginning of something major.
Sadly, it looks like she’ll have to build her brand away from her mum.”
Will They Ever Be Close Again?
Despite Katie’s emotional podcast comments and the hint of heartbreak behind her fiery words, people close to Princess wonder if their relationship can ever truly heal.
“She loves her mum,” the source said, “but it’s tough. Katie is unpredictable, and that makes it hard to have a stable, close relationship.”
What’s Next?
As Princess steps confidently into adulthood and the public eye, her journey seems to be diverging more and more from her mother’s shadow.
While Katie continues to grab headlines for her own ventures, her daughter is focused on carving out a future that looks entirely different—more polished, more professional, and far less chaotic.
Whether the two can rebuild a meaningful connection remains to be seen.
