Princess Andre has bravely shared her emotional struggles, admitting she “saw things kids shouldn’t see” during her childhood. The 18-year-old daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre opened up in her new ITV show, The Princess Diaries, about her mother’s “dark times” and their lasting impact.
Growing up, Princess faced challenges due to her parents’ bitter divorce in 2009. She explained that her mother’s chaotic relationships and personal struggles deeply affected her. “I had so much on my plate at such a young age,” she confessed.
Katie Price’s 2018 split from Kieran Hayler, her third husband, marked a particularly difficult period. Princess recalled how her mother spiraled into depression, relying on alcohol and drugs. “When we needed our mum, she wasn’t there because she had her own problems,” she revealed.
To cope with her trauma, Princess now sees a counselor. She admitted she couldn’t turn to her father, Peter, because of the tension between her parents. “I grew up with them not liking each other,” she said.
Despite the pain, Princess praised Katie for acknowledging her mistakes. “Mum has fixed herself compared to back then,” she shared. “She apologized, and we talk a lot now—she’s my best friend.”
Katie previously admitted to attempting suicide after her marriage collapsed. She sought treatment at the Priory, where she was diagnosed with ADHD. “I just didn’t want to be here anymore,” she had said. Princess acknowledged her mother’s growth but admitted she’s still healing. “I’m not fully recovered, but I’m getting there,” she said.
The teenager also discussed her past struggles with self-image. “I hated my lips and nose,” she admitted. “People bullied me for my looks.” Though she once considered surgery, Katie advised against it. “She told me I’m beautiful as I am,”Princess shared. Unlike her mother, however, she said she’s “more reserved” and could never pose provocatively.
In her show, Princess also revealed disturbing messages from older men. “They ask for feet pics or say, ‘Are you legal now?’” she said. Her father, Peter, was horrified. “That made me feel sick,” he admitted. “You’re still my baby.”
Princess Andre’s story highlights the lasting effects of childhood trauma. While she continues to heal, her courage in speaking out is inspiring. “I saw things kids shouldn’t see,” she repeated, “but I’m learning to move forward.”
