Fresh claims about the ‘feud’ between Katie Price and her daughter Princess Andre suggest that tensions between the two have deepened as Princess is set to launch her own reality TV career
Insiders have revealed fresh claims over Katie Price’s “feud” with Princess Andre after the former supermodel said she was banned from her daughter’s 18th birthday party.
Bombshell reports say Katie, 47, flew abroad and missed a planned morning meet-up with Princess on her 18th birthday and is trying to “insert herself” into her daughter’s success amid her showbiz career.
It is also claimed that Katie showed “attention-seeking behaviour” on the eve of Princess’s new ITV show to overshadow the launch. It comes as Katie has made several claims before the launch of her daughter’s reality series, The Princess Diaries, which starts on ITV2.
The mum-of-five said she was banned from her daughter’s 18th birthday party and that her former management team – who look after ex-husband Peter Andre and Princess – did not want her on the show as they considered her “trash”.
Speaking on her podcast, Katie said: “Princess was like ‘I’m having a party’. And I wasn’t invited because it was for ‘filming’. The fact is there’s stuff my daughter is doing and I’m not allowed to be seen at any of it.”
But insiders claim Katie’s version of the truth is far from reality. It’s said that 18-year-old had arranged to see her mum on the morning of her birthday in June in London – but Katie failed to appear, The Mirror reports.
A source said: “It was all in the diary but then Katie claimed she couldn’t make it as she was abroad. It was disappointing. For Katie to then say she was banned from the afternoon’s filmed party when she was the no-show in the morning is just beyond belief.”
The former Celebrity Big Brother winner was later pictured partying in Ibiza, and then Dubai. As well as that, she reportedly accidentally shared a happy birthday Instagram message to Princess – 36 hours before her daughter’s big day.
Insiders are also confused by Katie’s attempts to “repeatedly insert herself into her daughter’s career.” The model herself said: “I have not been allowed to go on any photoshoots, signings or Superdrug openings or anything like that. I’m not welcome.”
But the source said: “Why is she making this all about her? What sort of person on the eve of her daughter’s show, starts throwing all these grenades and believes she knows what’s best, and should be given equal billing? It’s Princess’s life, her career.”
A second source added: “It’s so unfair that Princess is going through all this when it is her show and it’s about her…Pete keeps quiet about the whole situation with Katie and just wants to support his children.”
Some question whether Katie could be jealous of her daughter’s success. The source said: “Princess’s career is flourishing. It was already predicted before she’s going to be the next Kylie Jenner and now she’s set to become a millionaire by next year.”
One source also told The Mirror that it was “ludicrous” for her to have hit out at her ex-manager at The CAN Group. Katie previously claimed: “I’ve always said over my dead body would I want her managing my kids. She doesn’t like me.”
However, a source claimed: “When Katie was at the height of her problems, including her drink-drive arrest a few years ago, she approached her former manager for help.
“She was in such a bad way but her manager was really happy to help… She organised a job but Katie didn’t end up doing it. To turn around now and claim she wants nothing to do with her is nonsense. She wasn’t saying that at the time.”
Friends say that Princess loves her mum but it hasn’t been the easiest growing up. In her new reality show, the teen influencer lifts the lid on her tumultuous childhood, including how tough it was when Katie split from her third husband, Kieran Hayler, in 2018.
She said: “My mum, being heartbroken, didn’t deal with it in the best way. She went through a dark time. It was hard for me because I saw things kids don’t need to see, and my mum wasn’t emotionally able to be there.”
Princess read stories at the time about her mum, including her driving bans, divorce and bankruptcy hearings. She said: “I would go into school and have people ask me questions about what they had seen in the papers and I would go home and cry.”
The teenager’s relationship with her mother is much stronger now. “I’m still not really healed from what has happened but Mum is such a different person and has really fixed herself,” she said, before describing her mum as “my best friend”.
She added: “She is so unpredictable. She just lives life and doesn’t care, and I really look up to that.” The CAN Group said: “We would never advise a client on their personal life unless asked and we have never stopped anyone seeing their families.”
Katie Price did not respond to requests for comment, according to The Mirror.
