Princess Andre opens up about childhood

Princess Andre discusses growing up in a celebrity family and her mother’s mental health journey in a new ITV2 reality show.

Princess Andre opens up about childhood with Katie Price

Princess Andre, 18, reveals in ITV2's The Princess Diaries how life with her celebrity parents shaped her childhood. The show offers a behind the scenes look at her life, including how she and her brother spent time with each parent after the 2009 divorce and how fame touched her family from an early age. She notes that her mother Katie Price has spoken publicly about mental health and drug use, and that those pressures were part of her everyday life as a child.

Princess says she has a counsellor and that her mother has acknowledged past issues and apologized. She adds that their relationship has improved and that Price is now more present, with the two describing their bond as closer and supportive.

The piece shows how reality television has become a platform for private pain to be discussed openly. It highlights a shift where young people in celebrity families speak about upbringing and healing on camera. The interview also points to the ongoing work of reconciliation within a high profile family, not just a moment of sensationalism.

At the same time, there are risks. Publicizing private trauma can invite misinterpretation or backlash. Viewers may read the show as a complete portrait of a family, while the participants must balance honesty with privacy and protection for others who are part of the story.
