Princess Andre shares sad reason she couldn't speak to dad Peter about mum Katie Price
Princess Andre has revealed the sad reason why she couldn't speak to her dad Peter Andre about her mum Katie Price following their bitter divorce.
In her brand-new ITV series, The Princess Diaries, which airs on Sunday night on ITV, the influencer and model, 18, is set to open up about how her parents' estranged relationship has affected her through her childhood and teenage years.
Earlier this summer, Princess announced the exciting news of the ITV show, which will offer a behind-the-scenes look into her life and burgeoning career as a model, focusing on her relationship with her family. It comes after her mum Katie, 47, revealed that Princess has moved out in another swipe at ex Peter.
In the first episode of her reality TV series, Princess opened up about why she felt she could never speak to her dad, Peter, 52, about her mum following their bitter split and the fact they haven't spoken in years.
During the episode, Princess speaks to her mum on the phone while she's away on holiday in Dubai. After the call, Princess admitted that she and her famous mum are more alike that people would think and revealed that they are now closer than ever - with her mum even baring all on FaceTime.
"She had her boobs out," Princess laughed. "She's just casually out of the shower with her top off. Like, she just doesn't care. I never answer the phone to my mum when I'm around people. Because when she's on the phone, she's so unpredictable.
"She just lives life. She actually doesn't care and I actually really, really, look up to that. I would love to have that mindset of 'I don't care', because deep down I always do care. I won't show any emotion but then I'll get to my bed and I'll cry and cry and cry.
"On my own, I don't handle it very well but to other people I would seem to fine and so good." Princess went on to address not being able to talk to her dad Peter about her mum as she revealed that she has been in counselling.
"I do have a counsellor and I do sometimes see her every now and again. But I don't feel like I can really ever talk so I just write everything down in my notes. I do wish that I could have had a more happier childhood," Princess admitted.
The 18-year-old told the cameras that she had 'so much on her plate' when it came to navigating her childhood with two famous parents who didn't get along. The influencer went on: "I had so many things on my plate at such a young age.
"I wish sometimes that it wasn't like that and I could have actually enjoyed it and not had things in the back of my mind so young. Obviously, I had amazing times in my childhood, I have so many amazing memories with my mum and my dad, but I also have lots of not-so-good memories of the time when my mum and Kieran split up."
Katie and Kieran officially split in May 2018. While they were married from 2013 to 2021, they separated in 2018, with Katie accusing Kieran of cheating. The divorce proceedings were finalised three years later, in 2021 and the former couple share two children Jett and Bunny.
"It happened when I was ten years old and he was in our lives for like five years. So, we got really close to him and obviously we loved him, but he did a lot of stuff and when they split up, everything kind of went downhill with my mum obviously being heartbroken.
"She didn't deal with that in the best way. She went through a very, very, dark time which is understandable. But it was hard for me because I was around adult things that kids should never see.
"And I think 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 then confessed that she would bottle up her emotions in public but cry alone at home because she felt she was never able to open up to her dad about how she was feeling, because it was all down to her mum's actions and sadness.
"I remember coming home from school, and I would literally just cry in bed at 11 years old. I would never go speak to my dad about it because the way I've grown up, I obviously know that my mum and my dad don't like each other, which is fair enough, they are not going to.
"I could speak about my childhood and everything that happened and I would be absolutely fine, but then, once something sets me off, and when I actually deep everything, it makes me realise. Then it makes me think that maybe I'm still not over everything, and I'm still not healed from what has happened.
"I wouldn't say I'm fully recovered from it, but mum is such a different person now. If you compare her now to how she was back then, she has genuinely really fixed herself. She has apologised to me and I never wanted an apology from her but I think it meant a lot that she kind of acknowledged it.
"We're so close now and we do a lot of things together and we talk all the time. I love her. She's like my best friend."
The Princess Diaries debuts on ITV2 at 9pm on Sunday.

ITV shares first-look at Game of Thrones star's 'intoxicating' new thriller
The six-part thriller is set to air later this year, starring The Walking Dead's Andrew Lincoln and Indira Varma. ITV has unveiled the first glimpse of its upcoming thriller, Coldwater. The six-part series, set to premiere this autumn, stars Andrew Lincoln of The Walking Dead fame and Indira Varma from Obsession. Set in the fictional Scottish village of Coldwater and filmed in and around Glasgow, the plot revolves around Andrew's character John, who finds himself at the heart of eerie occurrences as past traumas resurface. John relocates his family to the rural tranquillity of Coldwater in an attempt to distance themselves from London. However, he soon grows frustrated with his mundane existence as a middle-aged stay-at-home dad, his suppressed anger threatening to disrupt his life as he knows it. Following an identity crisis in London, where John failed to intervene in a violent playground confrontation, he yearns for a more peaceful future for his family, only to encounter further disturbances in Coldwater. Upon arrival, he quickly forms a friendship with his next-door neighbour Tommy, portrayed by Ewen Bremner. Tommy is a charismatic, self-assured man and a dedicated husband to the local vicar Rebecca, played by Eve Myles, reports the Express. On the surface, Tommy appears to be a man of faith, a community stalwart, and the self-proclaimed leader of the village's all-male book group. Initially impressed and somewhat intrigued by Tommy, John soon finds himself ensnared in his web. Meanwhile, his spouse Fiona, portrayed by Indira, harbours deep resentment towards him following their relocation to Coldwater, as what was meant to be a fresh start has utterly failed to rekindle their deteriorating relationship. As her husband grows increasingly close to their mysterious new neighbour, Fiona's alarm bells begin ringing and she starts questioning whether Tommy is genuinely who he claims to be. John's long-suppressed fury eventually erupts with catastrophic consequences, leaving him surprisingly beholden to his newfound companion, completely oblivious to the fact that Tommy is concealing deeply disturbing secrets of his own. It's only when a string of disturbing events begins unfolding that John starts questioning Tommy's true identity. The synopsis hints: "This is the story of a normal man, in a normal marriage, who finds himself in a far from normal situation. "A man who discovers a newfound sense of his own power, right at the moment he falls under the influence of someone incredibly dangerous." Coldwater has been penned, conceived and executive produced by David Ireland, with Lee Haven Jones (Doctor Who) helming the opening three episodes and Andrew Cumming (Shetland) taking charge of the latter half. Speaking previously, creator David revealed in a statement: "Cold Water started with a question I was asking myself. Where do I want to live - the countryside or the city? Such an innocent beginning, but from it came this dark, funny, twisted thriller. "I was delighted when Sister loved the script and thrilled when ITV decided to commission it. "And I'm amazed we've managed to attract such a peerless cast, led by the formidable Andrew Lincoln. I hope viewers will find it intoxicating." Coldwater is set to premiere on ITV1, ITVX, STV, and STV player this autumn.
