Princess Andre, 17, hits back at fans who accused her of not buying new £10k car herself
Princess Andre has hit back at fans who have accused her of not buying new £10k car herself.
The teen, 17, proudly shared snaps of her swanky new white Audi A1 on Instagram, along with personalised plates emblazoned with her name.
Posing with her car keys in hand, Princess showed off her car, which boasted fake plates that were likely placed on the vehicle for when she received it.
She captioned the post: 'I bought my first car.'
Since then, Princess has hit back and confirmed she bought the car with her own money, which she is 'super proud of'.
She penned: 'These comments are so funny. To everyone out there, yes I work and yes I earn my own money which I'm super proud of and so thankful that I'm lucky enough to buy my own car xx'

Two weeks ago, Princess, who is the daughter of singer Peter Andre and former glamour model Katie Price, revealed she'd passed her driving test.
Posting a snap of her driving test certificate, she captioned the snap: 'I passed... (smiley emoji).'
Fans and friends quickly flooded the comment section with messages of congratulations for the teenager.
The exciting news comes just a day after Princess enjoyed a day of shopping at Selfridges in London , wearing a £72 SKIMS bodysuit paired with low-rise, wide-leg jeans.
The teenager shared a slew of Instagram snaps as she splashed out on a Louis Vuitton purchase.
Princess kept comfortable for her shopping trip in a pair of black trainers and toted her belongings in a coordinated handbag.
Styling her long blonde tresses loose in curls, the influencer completed her look by layering two necklaces.
She seemed in high spirits as she posed for a mirror selfie in the department store and also shared a snap posing on an escalator.
She penned: 'These comments are so funny. To everyone out there, yes I work and yes I earn my own money which I'm super proud of and so thankful that I'm lucky enough to buy my own car xx'
Princess wrote: 'Being impulsive and going shopping…'
It comes after it was also revealed that Princess has opted against featuring her mum Katie in her upcoming ITV reality show.
MailOnline revealed that Katie, 46, will not appear on the fly-on-the-wall programme which will see influencer Princess, who turns 18 next month, become a celebrity in her own right but her dad Peter, step-mum Emily and older brother Junior are all to have parts in the series.
The programme will follow her work and home life as she prepares to reach the milestone age and last week, the popular teenager - whose father is Peter Andre - was spotted with a camera crew outside the London offices of hair styling brand GHD. A television insider told MailOnline: 'Katie will not be in Princess's show, the decision has been made and it's final.
'Princess loves her mum, and they have a great relationship, but the show is all about her work and home life.
'Television bosses were adamant that nothing was to be 'staged' to include Katie as it would not be a real and truthful insight into her life.'
Princess has already signed big money deals with clothing and beauty brands including being an ambassador for high street chain Superdrug, Studio London, Morphe and Revolution.
Cameras will be following her around as she continues to make waves in the highly lucrative influencer world up until she turns 18 at the end of June.
But television executives have been so impressed with the teenager that it looks set to be the start of her television career and clearly don't want her controversial mother to muddy her chances at becoming a household name.
Back in 2020 dad Peter launched the family's YouTube channel, The Andres, which gave viewers a glimpse into their lives.
The source added: 'Princess is a complete natural, which isn't surprising considering she grew up on her parents' reality TV shows.
'Everyone working on the show has been really impressed with her attitude and professionalism. She's got a lot going on so there's plenty of great stuff for them to film.
'It's a really exciting time for Princess.'
She hopes the series will help launch her catwalk career.

Fiddler on the Roof: The glorious revival moves indoors, and loses the wow factor
Fresh from winning three Olivier awards, Jordan Fein's superb Regent's Park revival of Fiddler on the Roof has been transplanted to form the big summer musical offering at the Barbican. Jerry Bock, Sheldon Harnick and Joseph Stein's instant 1964 Broadway classic about a toiling shtetl milkman contending with five daughters and a world in transition at the turn of the 20th century always does a roaring trade, but this loving iteration merits packed houses. Even so, I was also left wishing I'd caught the production at Regent's Park Open Air theatre last August. The alfresco setting clearly augmented the portrait of a Jewish community not snugly self-contained but vulnerable to the elements as well as brutish Russians. The dominant image of Tom Scutt's design is of wheat fields; indeed the evening memorably opens not with a fiddler on a roof but a fiddler (the talented, spectral Raphael Papo) atop a rising cross-section of burgeoning wheat field that forms an ominous canopy. That exquisite number late in Act One – Sunrise, Sunset – in which the locals gather to celebrate the marriage of Tzeitel (the milkman Tevye's eldest daughter) to the diffident tailor Motel, last year magically coincided with nightfall itself. Presented here amid candlelit gloom, the song still carries a spine-tingling charge. The pair have broken with tradition in seeking a love match (the days are hence numbered for Beverley Klein's tireless matchmaker Yente). The wistful ritualistic mood around them affirms vast cycles of nature. So even if the earthiness for which this incarnation was celebrated is less in evidence now, that's no reason to kvetch about the experience overall. Compared with his co-directing work on the recent stripped-back Oklahoma!, Fein privileges emotional truth over experimentation, the imperishable score rendered with musical heft and folksy simplicity, the lighting beautiful without being self-advertising. Julia Cheng's choreography, particularly in the famous bottle-balancing dance sequence, replete with precise, angular, sweeping leg moves, is a joy. Adam Dannheisser's commanding performance as Tevye is of a piece with this confident restraint. No actor can eclipse the ebullient memory of Zero Mostel or Topol and this American actor gives us instead a figure of grounded ordinariness and even surprising level-headedness. He has comic value, but he doesn't aim it at the gallery; when he sings If I Were a Rich Man, the village looks on, half amused, half sharing the dream too. He's an everyday father repeatedly tested by demands for independence by his daughters. (Natasha Jules Bernard, Hannah Bristow and Georgia Bruce are contrastingly spirited as the main three, Tzeitel, Chava and Hodel). Of course, there is a grim frisson – and a topical one – to the vision of collective displacement in the second half, but what resonates most is Tevye's agonised attempt to reconcile his paternal care with his devotion to his people, and his stern God. At a time of cultural upheaval, of daily concerns about what we must fight for, and discard, that hits home.

Cartier, Victoria's Secret and North Face become the latest retailers to be hacked
Cartier, Victoria's Secret and North Face have become the latest retailers to be hacked. The revelations follow attacks on firms including Marks & Spencer, the Co-op, Harrods and Dior in recent weeks. Jewellery and watch maker Cartier told customers that 'an unauthorised party gained temporary access' to its system and 'obtained limited client information'. No passwords, credit card details or bank information were compromised in the attack. North Face emailed some customers saying it discovered a 'small-scale' attack in April this year. Lingerie maker Victoria's Secret said a security incident relating to its IT systems led it to shut its website for a few days last week.

Folly of funny money deals: A market solution would be best for Thames Water, says ALEX BRUMMER
As a long-standing critic of private equity pillage, I should be cheering from the rooftops at the decision by KKR to pull out of its proposed rescue of Thames Water. Yet given the ghastly legacy of financial ownership and the hopelessness of the Starmer Government on commercial decisions, KKR almost looked like a white knight. The pledge by the global investment firm to inject £4billion of equity to stabilise the balance sheet of Britain's biggest water utility, and to return the company to the stock exchange in ten years, was as good an option as this ill-fated company was likely to receive. For KKR to get the deal done it required various forces to be aligned. The management of Thames, the existing creditors, the regulator Ofwat, the Government and the political background. Each time a pact with one party looked attainable, another problem arose. Down the decades, KKR deservedly has taken political punishment for its alleged profiteering at the expense of shareholders, customers, and other stakeholders. The original 'Barbarians at the Gate', dating from its deal for RJR Nabisco back in 1988, it has a history of plunder. Its ownership of Toys R Us ended in the bankruptcy courts. In more recent times, the Wall Street group has focused on long-term investment through infrastructure. This was the mechanism proposed by Thames Water. When the proposition was put to KKR's global investment committee by its British and European principals, it received the thumbs down. Fear of the opprobrium, which came recently from the Commons when MPs tore into potential bonus arrangements and sewage discharges, played a role in the decision to pull out. It was serendipity that KKR's decision emerged on the day that former Bank of England deputy-governor Sir Jon Cunliffe produced his report on the water industry. He found 'deep-rooted systemic' problems and argued for a 'fundamental reset'. Of all the regulators designed to patrol key utilities post privatisation, Ofwat has been the most useless. None of the water utilities deserve credit for their record on keeping the nation's beaches and waterways free of sewage and industrial waste. There are clear differences between the performance of providers such as United Utilities and Severn Trent, which have remained listed companies, and those which were sold to rapacious financiers. Thames and Southern Water are the most notorious examples. In both cases, equity finance was largely replaced by leverage, borrowing and debts, and the lifeblood was sucked out of the enterprises by interest payments and dividends. These often were paid to entities in offshore tax havens. Putting water to one side for a moment, that is what is so frustrating about the recent sale of the Royal Mail-owner International Distribution Services to a financial buyer, Daniel Kretinsky. The only hope for that deal is Ofcom, which has a far better reputation as a regulator. Nevertheless, one suspects the Universal Service Obligation, and a reasonably priced first-class post, are not the priorities of the buyer. The Labour Government was played by Kretinsky in much the same way as it was forced into an expensive rescue of Chinese-owned British Steel. Any notion that Thames Water would be better run as a nationalised industry needs to be disabused. It took 17 years for the Treasury to free itself from ownership of NatWest. A market solution must be the best approach. Otherwise, a bloated government balance sheet will be burdened with this spoilt asset for decades. Red card The love affair of US entrepreneurs, private equity and showbiz for Premier League football is not simply admiration for the beautiful game. The American tax code allows owners of professional teams to write off the entire value of players as 'intangible assets' against tax. If the House of Representatives' tax plan eventually receives assent, future owners (who are taxed on worldwide income) will lose this advantage. The impact on the value of sports franchises, on both sides of the Atlantic, could potentially be catastrophic.
