It’s been an exciting and hectic week for 18-year-old Princess Andre as she prepares to launch her own ITV fly-on-the-wall documentary series, The Princess Diaries.
Months in the making, the four-part show is expected to do more than just entertain — ITV hopes it will turn Princess into a household name, much like it did with her famous parents when they appeared together on I’m A Celebrity….
Family Support and a Proud Dad
Princess’s dad, popstar Peter Andre, remains incredibly proud of his daughter’s achievements, as does his wife Emily, an NHS doctor.
Even Princess’s older brother, Junior, is thrilled about her rising success. The family support has been a crucial part of her journey, especially with Peter playing a starring role in the show alongside Emily and Junior.
Katie Price’s Absence Casts a Shadow
But there’s a noticeable gap in the family lineup — Princess’s mother, Katie Price, also known as Jordan, is absent throughout the series.
Much of the show was filmed at Peter’s Surrey mansion, and while it captures Princess’s milestone 18th birthday and celebrations, Katie doesn’t appear beyond a brief voice note in the first episode where she comments on Princess’s mischievous childhood.
Katie’s exclusion has reportedly sparked fury, with sources revealing she’s furious about being banned from the show by Princess’s agents at CAN Associates.
This Sussex-based management firm, run by Claire Powell — who also manages Peter — made the decision to keep Katie out of the spotlight.
Katie’s Public Outburst and Ongoing Tensions
Katie didn’t hold back her frustration, taking to her podcast to vent about being sidelined.
She criticized Claire Powell, the agent who shaped Peter’s career for nearly 25 years, claiming that when she and Peter were together, they shared management and that Claire controlled their public image.
Just days before, a tabloid story with insider quotes stirred up more controversy, causing tension within Princess’s camp.
Katie has also recently referred to herself as a “momager,” inspired by Kris Jenner, expressing hopes that Princess would join Love Island — a reality show Princess is determined to avoid, highlighting a disconnect between mother and daughter.
Princess’s Ambitions Stand Apart from Her Mother’s
Unlike her mother, Princess has deliberately kept her private life out of the tabloids.
Despite reports of a split from her boyfriend earlier this year, she has maintained privacy about the details.
Her true goal is to become a successful businesswoman, steering clear of the fame-chasing pitfalls her mother has faced, including two bankruptcies.
With over 800,000 TikTok followers and 700,000 on Instagram, Princess is carving out a strong influencer career similar to stars like Molly Mae Hague.
Her fresh-faced image, which recalls her mother’s pre-surgery look, no doubt stirs complex feelings for Katie — possibly fueling her public outbursts.
Family Source Speaks Out on Katie’s Behavior
An insider close to the family shared, “Katie seems to be doing everything she can to steal the spotlight from Princess right now.
She hasn’t been involved in her daughter’s career and probably never will be.”
They added that while this should be an exciting time for Princess, her mother has been overshadowing her achievements.
For example, when Princess was set to make her catwalk debut at the Ibiza Fashion Festival, Katie flew there and made sure everyone knew she was present with photos and stories featuring famous faces.
The source continued, “What mother wouldn’t want to let their child shine? Princess has made it despite her mum’s influence and won’t be doing shows like Love Island because it’s not who she is.
Katie’s actions upset Princess — she loves her mum, but this behavior shows she’s not acting in her best interests.”
The Role of Claire Powell and Management
The agent Claire Powell has been a steady figure in Princess’s life, managing her career with a clear vision.
Claire also helped Peter make a comeback after his early fame faded and secured lucrative deals for the family.
Princess has admitted in the show that her childhood wasn’t easy, mentioning she sees a counsellor and sometimes prefers to write down her feelings rather than talk about them.
Claire’s support has been a constant amid family chaos.
In the show’s opening episode, Princess visits Claire at her Sussex home to discuss launching her own makeup range — a business move sure to frustrate Katie even more.
Princess’s Rising Star Status
Today, Princess boasts deals with brands like GHD and Superdrug, recently promoted a new Space NK store in London, and was named the second Best Dressed Star in Britain by Tatler.
The magazine praised her as the face of a new generation of British pop culture royalty, highlighting her youthful charm and stylish wardrobe.
Her team is thrilled with the recognition, emphasizing how hard she’s worked to get where she is.
Their hope now is that Katie can be proud of her daughter — and keep the drama out of the spotlight.
