Former glamour model Katie Price has spent a cosy weekend with her daughter Princess Andre as she revealed they had a 'well needed catch up' amid the family drama
Katie Price has reunited with her daughter Princess Andre after her very public fallout with ex-husband Peter Andre. The former glamour model, 47, has seen her romance with the Mysterious Girl hitmaker resurface following a series of bombshell claims.
‌
She has also seen her relationship with Princess come under scrutiny amid rumours of a "rift". The mum and daughter duo were said to have been at loggerheads after Katie was banned from appearing on the 18-year-old's TV show, The Princess Diaries.
‌
Katie claimed that her daughter's management team, who also works with dad Peter, had told her it was advisable not to be seen with her mother in public. It comes after Princess says she's 'independent' from parents as she breaks silence after Katie Price row.
‌
However, it seems they have managed to put all the attention into their relationship to the side as they reunited for a cosy Sunday night together. Katie proudly snuggled into Princess as they both wore their pyjamas and sat on a sofa together.
The pair pouted for the camera as Katie gushed: "A well needed catch up with my princess." Princess was also keen to share that she was enjoying time with her famous mum, as she also posted a snap from their evening and wrote: "Mumzy."
On Friday, Princess spoke out for the first time following her dad's blistering statment on social media. She answered a question about her parents on Snapchat as one fan asked: "Does it affect you even now when your mum and dad don't get on?'
Princess replied: "To be honest, it doesn't affect me. At the end of the day, they broke up when I was two years old, so I don't even have any memory of them being together."
Writing on top of the clip, she added: "I love my mum and dad and that's all that matters xxx." It came just days after Peter, who split from Katie in 2009, issued a shock statement.
‌
He raged: "For sixteen years, I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silent has been incredibly frustrating. That ends today.
"The latest comments about my children's welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight. For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood.
"In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement." He went on: "I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children. In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex-wife had made false claims.
‌
"She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today.
"Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months."
‌
Katie then hit back with her own message, where she hit out at "saints and sinners". She wrote: "I know I will always be seen as a Sinner. That's fair, I allowed myself to fall into a reliance on drugs and alcohol. At times, I was not the mother I should have been while I struggled with mental illness.
"I have been at times a poor friend, an awful sibling, and an untrustworthy partner. I've self-medicated, been unfaithful, damaged myself and those that I love."
Katie added: "I've had my reasons - my mental health issues - but I don't want to make excuses. I've recognised my issues and worked to put them behind me.
‌
"Sometimes | tried and failed, sometimes I succeeded. I've pulled myself out of a suicidal spiral because I love my children and want to be there for them. I don't pretend to be perfect by any means - but I'm trying to be the best I can."
She then hit out at "Saints" who she said are sometimes genuine but other times "not who they would have you believe they are". Katie quipped: "They play the victim and to succeed in life they need a villain...or at least a Sinner. Without the Sinner they don't get to be the Saint..."
