Katie Price responds to Princess Andre disclosure about childhood

Princess Andre, 18, reveals in ITV2's The Princess Diaries that she felt a heavy burden in her youth and watched her mother struggle after Katie Price's split from Kieran Hayler in 2018. The show, which follows the Price and Andre families, premiered on Sunday August 10 and brings private moments into the public gaze. Princess says she has a counsellor and that she wished for a happier childhood, noting that her mother was not always there during hard times. She adds that she and Katie now talk a lot and she regards her mother as her best friend.

Katie Price responded to the show with a message on Instagram that defended her parenting and framed her past struggles as part of the family journey. The post indicates a moment of public reconciliation as mother and daughter navigate a reality TV era that blends private history with entertainment.

The case shows how celebrity families use reality TV to tell a larger story about forgiveness and resilience. The fresh statements from Princess Andre reflect a broader trend of younger stars shaping their own narratives, especially when they are the children of famous parents. The reach of social media means expressions of apology or accountability can be amplified quickly, for better or worse. Viewers may react with sympathy, skepticism, or renewed interest in the family business, which could influence Katie Price’s brand and Princess’s growing public profile.

Behind the headlines lies a tension between private healing and public scrutiny. The dialogue about mental health and childhood trauma can empower fans who have faced similar issues, but it also risks turning intimate struggles into content. The timing of the show and the Instagram message will test what audiences expect from families who monetize vulnerability.
