Now, for the first time, Princess, now aged 18, has spoken in her own words about being caught up in the terrifying incident.
During a trip to Ibiza with her brother Junior filmed for her own reality TV series, The Princess Diaries, the influencer revealed she thought she would be killed or kidnapped during the horror ordeal.
Princess, along with Katie and Junior, were held at gunpoint whilst in the country to film scenes for Katie's programme.
It is understood that six men approached the vehicle in the incident.
Recalling it, a visibly emotional Princess said: "I just remember the noise, oh my God it was disgusting.
"This guy, who had a baseball bat and he started smashing the window."
Princess revealed that the men demanded that she be handed over to them by Katie who was quick to intervene.
She continued: "I looked out the window and I remember it not feeling real, and the guy was just staring into my soul. Then they were like 'we've got guns, we're going to shoot you'.
"My mum... the guys were like touching up my mum which is disgusting and she was like 'just F-off my kids, don't touch my kids'.
"I think they wanted me because of my blonde hair and blue eyes cause they said 'give me your kids'. Imagine hearing that at like 10 years old.
"After the hijack happened, the police said it was a miracle that we survived.
"It is the scariest thing I have ever been put through.
"In that moment I genuinely thought I was going to get kidnapped and die."
Adding of the lasting impact, Princess said to her brother: "A lot of those traumas are still there, so I think it's something you have to learn to just, like, deal with."

In 2022, Katie revealed that she had been raped during the horror incident.
She spent time in a Priory rehab clinic, where she was diagnosed with PTSD after the attack.
She previously told The Sun in 2018: "The reason I went there was because I got held at gunpoint and sexually assaulted.
'Six men attacked us after we stopped because my son Junior needed a wee.
'We should never have been allowed to make that journey without security.
'It was like something from a horror film. This big man in an adidas hoody was shouting in my face, swearing and demanding I give him everything. And he was touching me down below.
'I grabbed a pillow and launched myself in front of the kids, trying to protect them, waiting for a bullet to hit me. I thought I was going to die. Police said it was a miracle they didn't kill us."

Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins axes ex army corporal for 'lying and cheating' on the show - resulting in an explosive row
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins has claimed two more high-profile departures, with one contestant dramatically thrown off the show for 'lying and cheating' while another walked away in agony. The brutal Channel 4 challenge has already seen a string of early exits, including S Club's Hannah Spearritt, TV personality Louie Spence, and Love Islanders Chloe Burrows and Tasha Ghouri - and Wednesday's episode delivered even more shocks. The fourth episode's theme focused on trust and integrity, but tensions exploded as former Traitors winner Harry Clark, 24, was booted from the course by furious staff after being caught cutting corners. Harry – whose skills in deception helped him scoop the Traitors crown – found his tactics backfired when his Celebrity SAS teammates branded him one of the least trustworthy recruits. Alongside Rebecca Loos, he was put in charge of a team for a gruelling race involving hauling a heavy dinghy. But as ex-Special Forces instructors Mark 'Billy' Billingham, Jason 'Foxy' Fox, Rudy Reyes, and Chris Oliver watched on, Harry appeared to avoid his share of the workload. His lack of effort left former football hardman Adebayo 'The Beast' Akinfenwa taking on the bulk of the weight – triggering a flare-up of his long-term knee injury. In pain and out of energy, Adebayo had no choice but to withdraw from the show entirely. Earlier in the show Jason Fox could be heard saying: 'If we get an indication that a recruit isn't pulling their weight, we will find out' so when back at camp, Harry was hauled in for a no-nonsense grilling. When confronted over failing to complete an earlier set of burpees, the staff accused him of lying straight to their faces. 'Are you f***ing trying to pull the wool over my eyes?!' Chris raged, before adding the star was treating him 'like an idiot'. Moments later, the ex army corporal was marched out in front of the rest of the recruits, and admitted that he had 'cut corners' and not completed all the burpees. Mark then shouted: 'No, you lied, you cut corners, I asked you three times about honesty and integrity, and what did you do?' Harry replied: 'I lied, staff.' Harry was put in charge of a team for a gruelling race involving hauling a heavy dinghy, but as ex-Special Forces instructors Mark 'Billy' Billingham, Jason 'Foxy' Fox, Rudy Reyes, and Chris Oliver watched on, Harry appeared to avoid his share of the workload His lack of effort left former football hardman Adebayo 'The Beast' Akinfenwa taking on the bulk of the weight – triggering a flare-up of his long-term knee injury - meaning he had no choice but to withdraw from the show entirely Earlier in the show Jason Fox could be heard saying: 'If we get an indication that a recruit isn't pulling their weight, we will find out' so when back at camp, Harry was hauled in for a no-nonsense grilling Moments later, the ex army corporal was marched out in front of the rest of the recruits, and admitted that he had 'cut corners' and not completed all the burpees His dismissal was immediate, with the DS ordering him to hand over his armband and leave, while his stunned co-stars looked on. Earlier in the episode, Harry joked to the other celebrities how he couldn't grow facial hair. Talking about the fact they had not looked at themselves in the mirror in nearly a week he said: 'Do you know what I just deeped yeah? We haven't looked at ourselves in the mirror in like four days'. 'I haven't had facial hair since I was like 16. I'm clean shaven every day but do you know what's nice? I have like a proper Italian moustache.' With Harry and Adebayo 'The Beast' Akinfenwa gone, just eight stars remain on the show, with the next episode set to air this Sunday at 9pm on Channel 4. Last year, John Barrowman quit SAS after just 32 minutes into filming. He dubbed the 'worst recruit' in the show's history after he told Directing Staff 'I'm done'. He then added: 'I just... it's not for me, I know who I am and what I'm about, it's not for me' following his arrival on set.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: Erin finds the jewel in her Crown - a new leading lady
The Crown star Erin Doherty has found a new leading lady – and, just like King Charles 's nephew Peter Phillips, she's fallen for an NHS worker. I can reveal the 33-year-old actress, who shot to fame playing Peter's mother Princess Anne in the Netflix royal drama, has struck up a romance with radiographer Sinead Donnelly, 35. Phillips, meanwhile, has announced his engagement to NHS nurse Harriet Sperling. Over the weekend, Erin gave a glimpse into their blossoming relationship by posting a sweet photograph of them on holiday. In the picture, the pair stroll hand in hand through an archway, dressed for an evening occasion and each holding a glass of wine. 'Take us back to Italy please...' Sinead commented on the snap. Erin, who recently starred in Adolescence – another hugely successful Netflix series – was previously in a long-term relationship with fellow actress Sophie Melville. They met in 2017 while starring in Alan Ayckbourn's play The Divide, with Erin later describing their relationship as her 'greatest accomplishment'. While she and Sinead are enjoying the honeymoon phase, Erin has admitted that her dedication to her craft can affect her personal life. 'I fall in love with my characters – my girlfriend will attest to this,' she said recently. 'The minute anything comes into my sphere, the blinkers go on.' A self-confessed 'hopeless romantic' who 'loves love', Erin has also said of her sexuality: 'It took me a really long time to get to the point where I was, like, 'Oh, I'm gay'. I was never ready to carve out that path for myself, even though my relationships with men weren't satisfying.' Helen's novel way to thrive Despite having written the bestselling Bridget Jones series, Helen Fielding struggles with imposter syndrome. The author, 67, is quietly working on a new book – unrelated to the hapless anti-hero played by Renee Zellweger on screen – but she admits: 'I think everything in my novel is rubbish and makes no sense. I'm out of my depth. 'I try to boost my confidence by saying I've had six novels published. Last week, I thought my new novel was great – I was imagining the reviews, 'Fielding's a master novelist at the top of her game'. Maybe it's just part of the process. 'In the end, you just have to knuckle down and, like Winston Churchill said, keep buggering on and get on with it.' Emily Maitlis admits that since her Newsnight interview with Prince Andrew in 2019 ended his career as a working royal, she's developed a technique to avoid his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. 'Occasionally, I find myself in the same room as them and I feel terrible,' she says. 'There's normally a very quiet, elegant dance where I try to get to the other end and leave them in peace.' Elevated to the peerage by Boris Johnson, journalist Claire Fox was taken aback by a plea from her father, John. 'On his deathbed he said he had lung cancer because he smoked,' reveals Baroness Fox of Buckley, 65. 'He said: 'Claire, I want you to promise me... That you'll go down to Silk Cut Ultra [low-tar cigarettes]'.' Harry Potter star Miriam Margolyes once gave a theatregoer a dramatic surprise. 'I would come on, acting drunk, and sit on a chair,' she recalls. 'Between the rehearsal and the first night, carpenters had put castors on the chair. At first I thought it was testament to the power of my performance. Then I fell on a punter in the front row.' Here comes the cavalry, with 'hottest royal' Alex When the Royal Family gathers for Trooping the Colour next year, one member may not be a spectator but riding in the King's Birthday Parade. Alexander Ogilvy, 28, grandson of Queen Elizabeth's cousin Princess Alexandra, has graduated from Sandhurst and signed up to the Household Cavalry. 'Very proud of our British Army officer,' says his sister, Flora Vesterberg, 30. She joined Alex, pictured right – described as 'the hottest royal you never heard of' – with their grandmother, pictured above, for his passing-out parade at the military academy in Berkshire. Divorcing Lily says life's a drag Lily Allen is puffing her way through a painful time – and not just on stage. The pop singer and actress, 40, who is divorcing her actor husband David Harbour, is currently playing the beleaguered Hedda Gabler at the Theatre Royal Bath. And she's convinced the play's director, Matthew Dunster, to let her vape on stage because she's 'going through some stuff' in her own life, too. 'When we were in rehearsals, I just said to Matthew, 'What about her vaping?' And he was, like, 'Yeah.' I think Matthew is just being generous to the fact that I might be going through some stuff: give her a little vape, give her a little time just to make her life a little bit easier.'
