Princess Andre 'saw things kids shouldn't see' in mum Katie Price's dark times
The former glamour model and Peter Andre met on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here in 2004 and went on to have two children together – Princess, 18, and Junior, 20 – before separating in 2009.
Now, Princess is telling her side of the story in a new ITV series, The Princess Diaries, which focuses on her relationship with fame and carving out her own reputation beyond her celebrity parents.
During the first episode, which aired on ITV2 on Sunday, the mum-of-five made a voice note cameo, revealing that Princess was the 'naughtiest child' in the household growing up.
Despite talk of a feud between the pair in recent weeks, Princess said on the show that she and her mum are like 'best friends'.
Although she then opened up about the difficulties she faced growing up with 'a lot on her plate'.
The social media influencer, who has 782k followers on Instagram, shared what she went through after Katie and her ex-husband Kieran Hayler broke up in 2018 after five years together.
She said: 'We got really close to him and loved him. He did a lot of stuff, and when they split up, everything kind of went downhill. My mum, obviously, being heartbroken, didn't deal with that the best way.
'She went through a very, very dark time, which was understandable. It was hard for me because I was around adulty things that kids should never see.
'I think, as well, when we needed our mum there, she wasn't emotionally able to be there because she had so much of her own problems going on.'
Princess was 'asked questions' by her classmates about her family troubles after what they read in the papers.
Then added: 'I would come home from school, get into bed, and cry at 11 years old. I would never go and speak to my dad about it because my mum and dad don't like each other, which is fair enough; they're not going to.'
Even though Princess admitted she has never 'fully recovered' from the ordeal, she did reveal that her mum has 'genuinely fixed herself' and apologised to her kids about the way she behaved.
During an appearance on This Morning last week, Princess said she was braced for all kinds of reaction to her show thanks to her parents.
'I feel like the way I think about it is if you're putting yourself out there, you have to expect negativity and positivity too. More Trending
'We learnt from our parents how to deal with it. There are horrible people but we just have to deal with it,' she said.
Meanwhile, addressing the feud rumours when Katie didn't attend her 18th birthday party thrown by her father, she told Daily Mail, 'there's no rift' and that her mum was simply away for the last-minute birthday do.
The Princess Diaries is available to stream on ITVX.

Maura Higgins' defiant stance as she's set for awkward Danny Jones run-in after kiss
Love Islander Maura Higgins and her I'm A Celebrity campmate Danny Jones stunned fans when they were spotted sharing a drunken kiss at a BRIT Awards afterparty earlier this year I'm A Celebrity campmates Maura Higgins and Danny Jones could be facing an awkward encounter at this year's National Television Awards, following their drunken kiss at a BRITs afterparty. Danny, 39, won the most recent series of ITV 's I'm A Celeb, and so will be showing up at the event - as will Maura. The video, which saw the two share a kiss, resulted in a dicey time for Danny's marriage to influencer and wife of 11 years, Georgia Horsley, 38. He has spent the year quietly attempting to repair their relationship after Georgia left the family home for a period of time to cool off. Danny and Georgia share their six-year-old son Cooper, and seem to have patched things up after what could have been a marriage-ending indiscretion on Danny's part. It comes after ITV makes major decision on I'm A Celebrity's future after talks with officials. While Danny attempted to win Georgia's trust back, Maura herself kept a low profile for a short time. Their National Television Awards appearance will be a test for Georgia, although a source points out they all knew their "paths were bound to cross at some point. Speaking to The Sun, they said: 'Danny is expected to attend the NTAs on September 10, as have all previous reigning jungle winners — and Maura is also going." The source added: 'There will have to be some clever choreography to ensure they don't end up next to each other when walking the red carpet, but they could both end up on stage if I'm A Celebrity wins. Maura won't be answering any questions about the kiss. She's put the incident behind her and feels she has nothing to be ashamed of." McFly star Danny has put on a united front with Georgia after the couple's testing year. The pair were all smiles as they attended the first of seven Wembley gigs for the Oasis reunion tour last month. Mum-of-one Georgia, 38, shared a black and white photo posted on her husband's Instagram Story. It showed her beaming as they made their way from Wembley Stadium. Danny was looking over at her as they shared a laugh between them, showing they've put their rocky patch behind them and have moved on. They were joined by Danny's mum, Kathy, who walked in between the pair in the candid snap. It's been a tough year for the couple, with the news of Danny's drunken BRITS kiss with Love Islander Maura sending shockwaves earlier this year. But lucky for Danny, it appears Georgia was willing to give their marriage another try, although the pair lay low on social media since the video surfaced in March this year. Meanwhile, Maura has been keeping herself busy with work, as well as buying her new house. The 34-year-old former Love Island contestant has earned an estimated £3.2 million in the years since she found fame on the ITV dating show back in 2019. And she has splashed the cash on a luxury new home - snapping up a five-bedroom property in the south east of England. The semi-detached house boasts an impressive garden and has huge, floor to ceiling windows that allow plenty of natural light to flood in.

Loose Women faces another blow amidst ITV cuts and 'disappointing' change
The stars of Loose Women have reportedly been left 'disappointed' after they undergo a studio 'downgrade' after it was announced the show was being cut to 30 weeks It's been reported that the Loose Women stars have been hit by yet another blow, and it's claimed that the stars have been left 'disappointed' by their new studio. The show is currently filmed in London's White City but will soon move - with it being reported to be moved to The Hospital Club in Covent Garden. It was revealed that the show would only air for 30 weeks from 52. This is not the only blow, however, as the show will also be losing its studio audience. Reports have also suggested that some of the 26-strong panel could also be cut. Now, it's been reported that the new "broom cupboard" studio will be a third of the size of their old one, leaving the presenters hugely disappointed. It comes after one TV star admitted she sleeps in separate bed to partner as she fumes over pregnancy. "Cast and crew are crestfallen. It feels like a broom cupboard. It's going to be very cramped," a source told The Sun. "It feels like the show they've fought so long and hard to create is slowly being decimated. It's heartbreaking.' ITV also confirmed that there were no plans to change the show being broadcast across ITV1 and ITVX. Earlier this week, Janet Street Porter said the changes wouldn't affect her, although she was sad about the huge changes. "They won't really affect me because I work when I want to work," she shared with Woman Magazine. "I can see they need to save money, but from my point of view, I'm sad they've cut the episodes because Loose Women as a brand is doing extremely well for ITV. "Very well indeed. It's increased its audience share and it's loved by the audience," Janet, who has been part of the show for 11 year,s said. Alongside their daytime show, the Loose Women launched their own podcast in March this year, which was available every Tuesday and Friday on ITVX. The show featured a different duo from the show each episode, who opened up on a wide variety of topics. The podcast is said to do brilliantly on ITVX, with the hosts releasing 20 episodes in the first series. It was later announced that the show would be back for a second series later this summer.
