Katie Price excluded from Princess Andre reality show

Princess Andre''s new ITV fly-on-the-wall series faces a conflict as her mother is kept off screen.

Katie Price excluded from Princess Andre reality show sparks family tension

Princess Andre, 18, is launching The Princess Diaries, a four-part ITV fly-on-the-wall series that follows her drive to become a business woman while living with her father Peter Andre, stepmother Emily and brother Junior. Katie Price has been kept off screen and is banned from most of the programme by Princess''s agents CAN Associates. Her sole appearance is a voice note in the opening episode, recalling Princess as a child who sometimes caused trouble.

Princess has deals with hair styling giant GHD and retailers such as Superdrug, and a Space NK store promotion in central London is planned. Tatler has praised her as a rising star. The show aims to present Princess as a confident young entrepreneur with her own path, not only the daughter of two famous parents.

The rift between mother and daughter here reflects a decades old tension in fame where younger generations push to control their public image. Princess appears intent on steering her own brand and privacy, while Katie seeks headlines through controversy. The behind the scenes power of managers and agents is on display, shaping who appears and what story is told. The dynamic could define how viewers perceive Princess as an independent figure rather than a legacy of her parents.

This moment also tests ITV''s handling of family drama in a new celebrity era where business ventures and social media presence intersect. A measured approach could protect Princess'' image, but a widening public sympathy for Katie could complicate the narrative and affect reception.

Highlights

The next chapters will reveal whether fame can be built on a clear path rather than a family storyline.
