Princess Andre says she 'hated' her appearance and fixated on her 'big nose' as she admits she doesn't have her mum Katie Price's confidence but would never turn to surgery

Daily Mail​5 days ago
Princess Andre has revealed she 'hated' her appearance and fixated on her 'big nose' but would never turn to cosmetic surgery like mother Katie Price.
The 18-year-old - who is the daughter of Katie and Peter Andre - has opened up after being bullied about her insecurities on her new ITV2 show, The Princess Diaries, which aired on Sunday night.
The teenager admitted she is 'very self-conscious' as she was 'picked on for her looks' and doesn't have her mum's confidence.
However, she praised mother Katie for posing topless for page 3 but insisted she is 'more reserved and gets embarrassed' while modelling.
She said: 'People think because my mum was a page 3 model I have to be that confident too.
'Well done on her but I could never do that, I'm self-conscious and more reserved, I'm more embarrassed'.
She continued: 'I used to hate my lips and nose. When I was younger I used to get really picked on for my nose being too big, and my eyes being to big, and my lips being non existent.
'I used to be very self conscious and hated myself, so when I discovered makeup and that I could enhance my features and make my nose smaller and lips fuller.
'Now I feel more confident, not fully but about certain things because I hated everything before I discovered makeup', Princess said.
Discussing cosmetic surgery, she continued: 'You don't need to [have a nose job] at 18. I'm not against surgery at all, if you know my mum you know she's had a lot of surgery and she owns it.
'She was the one who told me not to get it because I'm beautiful the way I am.
'There are so many things makeup has taught me and I've learn't to love myself without makeup.'
Katie first found fame in 1996 as she modelled for Page 3 under the name of Jordan.
After two decades in the spotlight, Katie is almost unrecognisable from the naturally pretty teenager who burst on to the modelling scene at the age of 16.
The former glamour model has undergone an array of procedures over the years, including having at least 16 boob jobs, three rhinoplasties and six facelifts.
Katie - who has previously admitted she suffers with body dysmorphia - had her sixth £10,000 face lift in January and is believed to have spent over £130k on cosmetic surgery over the years.
Elsewhere Princess revealed she 'saw things kids shouldn't' during her childhood - and is still recovering from her mother's 'dark times' still.
The teenager has for the first time laid bare the impact of her parents' tumultuous divorce during her reality TV show, as she told viewers: 'I had so much on my plate at such a young age.'
Princess also described the impact her mother's subsequent chaotic romances and lifestyle had on her growing up.
She told how Katie fell into a 'dark' place following her 2018 split from third husband Kieran Hayler - who she shares Bunny, 10, and Jett, 11, with - after she discovered he had been unfaithful throughout their marriage.
Katie herself has previously admitted to attempting suicide and relying on drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism at the time, and now Princess has told how it affected her.
Princess revealed on the show how she has a counsellor and previously 'couldn't just go to my dad' due to her parents, who split in 2009, 'not liking each other'.
'She [Katie] is so unpredictable and she lives life and doesn't care,' said Princess.
'I love that, I'd love that mind set of I don't care because deep down I do, I'll get to bed and cry about it.
'I do have a counsellor who I see now and then and I write everything down in my notes. I wish I could have had a happier childhood, I had so much on my plate at such a young age and had things at the back of my mind.
'My mum and Kieran split up when I was 10 years old, we were close to him. He was in our lives for five years.
'He did a lot of stuff and when they split everything went downhill.'
Laying bare Katie's 'problems', Princess said she hasn't 'fully recovered' from her mum's breakdown but revealed she did apologise and they now 'talk a lot'.
She continued: 'Mum was heartbroken and she went through a dark time and it was things kids shouldn't see and when we needed our mum there, she wasn't there because she had her own problems.
'Kids in school would ask me about it and I was like 11 and I would just cry about it in bed. I couldn't just go to my dad about it because I grew up with them not liking each other.
'I'm not healed or fully recovered from it but mum has fixed herself compared to how she was back then.
'She spoke to me about it and she apologised and I never wanted an apology but it was a lot that she acknowledged it and she realised she needed to prioritise us, we now talk a lot and she is now my best friend.'
Princess also revealed how she used to stay at Katie's Monday and Tuesday nights and dad Peter's Wednesday and Thursdays, however the weekends 'it was whoever's turn it was'.
Comparing the two households, she added: 'Mum's house was chaotic there weren't many rules, a few boundaries maybe but it was go to bed when you want and eat what you want.
Last year, Katie reflected on the emotional time she tried to take her own life after 'reaching breaking point' following her divorce from Kiaran.
Katie, who is now in a happy relationship with JJ Slater, at the time admitted herself into the Priory shortly after she noticed she was relying on drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism amid her suicide attempt.
Speaking to You Magazine, Katie opened up about the emotional and difficult time in her life, she said: 'People don't realise what I've been through'.
They don't know, for example, that she tried to take her own life, as she got divorced from her third husband, Hayler.
'I just didn't want to be here any more. I thought, "What's the point? No one's here, no one's helping, no one understands what I am feeling."
'I woke up from it thinking, "What the f***? I can't do this to my kids." I was at breaking point.'
Katie went to private hospital the Priory, and realised that the suicide attempt was the culmination of a long breakdown.
Princess said her mum became in a 'dark' place following her split from third husband Kieran Hayler. Katie previously admitted to attempting suicide and relying on drugs and alcohol; pictured in 2017
She had been taking cocaine as a means of escape, and this shocked her friends and family, because, she tells You Magazine, she isn't an addict.
Katie and Kieran separated in March 2018 after five years of marriage but their divorce wasn't finalised until four years later.
Meanwhile in the first episode of the series, horrified Peter has reacted to some of the 'disgusting' messages his 18-year-old daughter Princess has received from men online.
The singer remarked: 'that really made me feel sick' as the influencer shared some of the messages she is sent on social media as the family appeared in her new ITV2 documentary.
Princess was 17 at the time and was filmed speaking to a friend about some of the more negative sides of having a big social media presence and fame at a young age.
Princess says to her friend of the messages: 'Usually it's like old men, going on about my toes, sometimes they'll be like, 'let me take you on a date'.'
In a solo section to camera, she added: 'I can't even read this message out, it's actually disgusting.
'I do love my job and I do love social media and I do love interacting with people but there is a dark side to social media that people don't see, and there are a lot of inappropriate messages that yeah some of them can be horrible.
'Like I'm literally 17, that's actually not OK.'

Later in the episode in a scene with her dad Princess mentioned to Peter some of the messages she has been getting.
When he enquired as to what they are asking her, she replied 'mostly feet pictures'.
An alarmed Peter replied: 'Please God that's the only thing they ask for.'
Princess then divulged to him that some of the men also ask: 'Are you finally legal now?'
Peter immediately covers his face with his hands and said: 'Oh my God Biss I didn't think it was going to be like that...
'That really made me feel sick, like in the pit of my stomach. I hate it because you're still my baby.'
The many faces of Katie Price: A look back at star's changing features
She instantly became a pop culture icon after bursting into the public eye as loudmouthed Page 3 girl, Jordan.
Having tried her hand at modelling, singing, presenting, campaigning and reality TV, the glamour model quickly became a household name in Britain.
Yet while Katie Price 's moniker will ring a bell for both young and old, you would be forgiven for not recognising the star on sight alone, with Katie famously undergoing numerous cosmetic procedures over the years.
After two decades in the spotlight, Katie is almost unrecognisable from the naturally pretty teenager who burst on to the modelling scene at the age of 16, with her natural curls and fresh-faced beauty winning her an army of fans.
Katie, now 47, has undergone an array of procedures over the years, including rhinoplasty, a silhouette facelift, 3D, veneers, lip fillers and Botox, culminating in her first facelift in 2017.
Now, after two decades under the surgeon's scalpel, MailOnline takes a look at the many faces of Katie Price.
1995 - Barefaced beauty
At the age of 17, Katie Price was a fresh-faced natural beauty looking to make it into the world of glamour modelling.
At a friend's suggestion, the teenager had professional photographs taken and was quickly snapped up by a modelling agency who landed her a Page 3 slot in The Sun newspaper the following year, sparking the creation of her glamour model alter ego, Jordan.
Speaking last year, Katie revealed she was glad that she wasn't exposed to social media at the time as she had 'no idea what Botox was or fillers', otherwise she may have started her tweaks and enhancements at an even earlier age.
1998 - First boob job
Having just turned 20, the rising glamour model experienced her first taste of cosmetic surgery, boosting her 32B cup breasts to a 32C.
The procedure cost £4,500 and it's thought her mum Amy and stepdad Paul helped pay for her to have the procedure.
Katie has since spoken out about her decision to go under the knife, admitting she was 'too young' and that she feels sorry for young girls growing up these days in a world of social media and filters.
1999 - Second and third boob job
Despite having only just increased her breast size, Katie opted to have two more procedures the following year at the age of 21.
Katie boosted her bust from a C cup to a D cup and just a few months later went up again to a F cup.
Katie has previously claimed that she has only paid for two of her boob jobs over the course of her career - it is not known if these were the ones.
2001 - Lip fillers
At the age of 21, Katie had her first cosmetic procedure on her face, opting for lip fillers.
While the glamour model did not confirm the rumours at the time, she was seen sporting a noticeably fuller pout while out enjoying the party scene.
Her overall look had also started drastically transforming, with the model sporting dramatic false lashes, bright lipstick and pale hair extensions.
2004 - Botox
Aged 26, Katie began to experiment with Botox injections that relax the muscles in your face to smooth out lines and wrinkles.
She made no secret of her love of the procedure, announcing at the time: 'I get my forehead and around my eyes Botoxed every six months and I love it. You can't beat it. It just freezes all the wrinkles and that's what you want.'
At the time, Katie insisted she would never take things further and have a facelift, explaining: 'I'd never have a full facelift. I've seen what they can do to people and I don't want to go through that.'
2006 - Fourth boob job
Katie went under the knife yet again to take her F cup breasts up to a G cup.
The glamour model also played around with her overall look and embraced her dark side with a new brunette hairstyle.
She also continued to dabble with fillers and Botox.
2007 - First nose job and veneers
At the age of 29, Katie took her love of surgery to the next level, undergoing rhinoplasty, a chemical peel and treating herself to a £25,000 set of new veneers.
'Oh my God, it burned like hell!' she said at the time. 'The next day I had this hideous red rash on my chin but two days later there wasn't a single spot left.'
Speaking about her nose job at the time, she admitted to liking her original nose, explaining: 'I liked my nose before and now. If I had a cupboard with both noses, I would alternate between them!'
2008 - Fifth boob job
Despite gradually increasingly her bust size over the year, Katie fancied a change on her 30th and brought her bra size back down from an F cup to a C cup.
The procedure meant that Katie had returned to the size of her first boob job 10 years prior.
Katie's changing shape also coincided with the launch of her first clothing line - an equestrian range.
2011 - Sixth boob job
Katie's smaller chest didn't last long, and at age 33 she went back under the knife again to boost her bust to an F cup.
Katie also underwent body-contouring treatment and cheek and lip fillers.
The Loose Women panelist admitted that she loved having her cheeks filled to give her a 'plumper, more youthful look'.
2015 - Seventh and eighth boob job
Just before appearing on Celebrity Big Brother, the reality star had a botched boob reduction that left her with a hole in her breast and an implant protruding from her flesh.
Katie told her shocked housemates: 'I've got no tits anymore. They've gone. There's not even anything there. If you saw what I'm like underneath. The scar's gone septic. My whole implant was hanging out on New Year's Day.'
Shortly after leaving the Big Brother house she underwent corrective surgery and had her implants swapped for a D-cup.
2016 - Ninth boob job and tattooed makeup
Despite her surgery horror the year before, Katie was undeterred and flew to a Brussels clinic to go under the knife yet again, this time settling on a 32GG bust.
The reality star also had her eyebrows and lips tattooed, also known as 'permanent make-up', explaining that she prefers to go make-up free on a day-to-day basis.
Additionally the star has regular facial treatments, last year sharing a bloodied selfie after having a dermal roller micro-needling treatment, which sees a dermaroller with many tiny needles rolled across into the skin - designed to stimulate cells into regeneration.
2017 - First face lift, new veneers and 10th boob job
Despite insisting she would never have a face lift and could rely on Botox, Katie went back on her word undergoing a 'Silhouette' face lift.
The procedure is designed to lift a sagging cheeks and blurred jawline, using 'sutures' implanted under the skin to sculpt features.
However, Katie was soon spotted with puffy features, revealing that she suffered an allergic reaction to anesthetic penicillin after having further work on her veneers. She also had her breast implants reduced from 1000ml implants to 795ml.
2018 - Second face lift
Katie claimed her first face lift had been a botched job and went back under the knife the following year aged 40 to correct it.
She said at the time 'I need to get my face re-corrected after surgeon has totally f**ked my face up', admitting it had
He agent added: 'She had the thread and it really quite distorted her look. She got a lot of backlash, a lot of negative press, a lot of trolling, everyone saying she'd taken it too far, when actually it was a job that had not gone to plan.'
2019 - Third face lift, boob job first Brazilian bum lift and 11th boob job
Katie jetted to Turkey to overhaul her entire look with a full body transformation.
The reality star opted for a face, eye and eyelid lift, Brazilian bum lift along with a tummy tuck.
Just three months later she returned to the clinic and opted for another boob job, going back down to a D cup.
2020 - 12th boob job and another set of veneers
Katie returned to Turkey to have another set of veneers and revealed her real teeth had been reduced to stubs as she flashed a smile on her YouTube channel.
The mother-of-five then jetted to Belgium to correct botched surgery on her breasts, saying her surgeon was utterly shocked by the 'awful' previous procedure.
Katie said: 'They looked deformed, they were absolutely awful. That's the first time I've gone to a different surgeon. I had to go back to Frank with my head down, ashamed that I'd been to another clinic.'

2021 - Liposuction, eye and lid lifts and 13th boob job
Amid the Covid pandemic, Katie jetted off to then red-list Turkey for a complete cosmetic surgery overhaul, undergoing full body liposuction, eye and lip lifts, liposuction under her chin, and fat injected into her bum.
The reality star also visited Belgium to have her 13th boob job as well as full body liposuction with bum fat removal.
The plastic surgery - performed by Dr Frank Plovier - came just five days ahead of the glamour model's sentencing for her shocking drink-drive crash.

2022 - Another brow and eye lift
Katie secretly jetted back to Belgium at the beginning of 2022 for an eye and brow lift and had been concealing her new look with her head in a bandage.
Dr Judy Todd, an aesthetic doctor at Clinica Medica in Glasgow, said: 'It appears like she's had a face lift, temporal brow lift, and possibly an upper blepharoplasty.'
It was reported last month that Katie plans to travel to Turkey imminently for yet more plastic surgery, amid claims she wanted to get some tweaks in after being unhappy with her latest work.
Sian Dellar, Brow Specialist and Founder of Sian Dellar Permanent Makeup Clinic, added: 'Katie's eyebrows, like the rest of her, have changed lots over the years!
'Back in the 90's she had a very thin over plucked brow which was the fashion at the time, and today she has an extremely thick and unnatural looking brow.
'Currently it seems the face or eye lift that she's had have pulled her brows outward which looks unnatural and makes the brows appear almost stretched.
'Of course, as with any enhancement, it's personal preference but we recommend not going too many shades darker, and keeping the shape as natural looking as possible and work to create or enhance brows to frame the face.
'Katie's choice to have them so thick and dark and in that unusual positioning means they dominate her face and are the first thing the eye is drawn to. I would love to see Katie take her brows back to 2015/2016 when the fuller brow became a big trend. She got it right then and they framed her face well.'

2023 - 16th and 'biggest ever' boob job
It's not clear if Katie lost track of the number of breast augmentations or opted to keep some of her surgery private but by 2023 it emerged she'd undergone her 16th boob job, two years after claiming to be on her 13th.
The star went under the knife in a bid to have the 'biggest in Britain' and was subsequently pictured being wheeled into surgery at the Be Clinic in Belgium.
She is said to have wanted even bigger breasts, opting for 2120 CC implants in a bid to boost her already large bust size.
Katie told OK! magazine of her boobs: 'I love them. They healed really quickly and they didn't hurt at all. That probably doesn't help. Because I heal quickly, it doesn't put me off and I have more.
'I would go bigger as well – and I will eventually. I just love having big boobs and a small body. I've always loved that look. In my eyes, if I'm having a boob job, I want them to look fake, I don't want them to look natural. I don't like the natural look.
'I just like that old-school American Playboy pin-up look. When I have surgery, that is what I'm striving for. If I could look like my airbrushed pictures, that would be amazing. But that's impossible to achieve.'
2023: It's not clear if Katie lost track of the number of breast augmentations or opted to keep some of her surgery private but by 2023 it emerged she'd undergone her 16th boob job, two years after claiming to be on her 13th
2024 - MORE facial surgery
In July 2024 Katie confirmed she is travelling to Turkey for facial surgery, to be filmed for a new documentary, after failing to attend a bankruptcy hearing.
The former glamour model was absent at a scheduled £760,000 bankruptcy court hearing having flown overseas for her latest cosmetic procedure.
A warrant was subsequently issued, with Katie admitting she's 'doing the best she can' to rectify her financial issues after receiving 'very clear warnings' that she needed to attend court.

Donor ‘shocked' as national library excludes gender-critical book

Scotland's national librarian is facing mounting pressure to reinstate a gender-critical book which she banned from a major exhibition, after a key donor joined a revolt against the move. Alex Graham, who has given around £300,000 to the library, said he had been 'shocked and angry' to learn that The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht had been excluded from an exhibit that he personally supported with a donation of about £20,000. Graham, the creator of the television show Who Do You Think You Are, urged Amina Shah, Scotland's chief librarian and the chief executive of the National Library of Scotland, to reverse her decision. He said that if she did not, he would have to consider whether or not to continue to provide lucrative donations to the library, as he has done for the past 12 years. The critically acclaimed book, a collection of essays by more than 30 women about their role in the feminist campaign against Nicola Sturgeon's gender self-ID law, was set to be included in its Dear Library exhibition, after it was nominated by several members of the public. However, The Times revealed on Wednesday that it was pulled after a backlash by the library's internal LGBT staff network, which claimed it contained 'hate speech' and that displaying it would cause 'severe harm' to workers. They threatened to 'notify LGBT+ partners of the library's endorsement of the book' if management did not cave in. Shah justified the decision by citing the potential impact on 'key stakeholders' and the library's reputation if the gender-critical book was included, but has faced intense opposition after her ban was made public. In a major intervention, Graham called on the library to admit its mistake and reinstate the book to Dear Library, which Shah had publicly thanked him for his role in funding. He said that if it did not, he would have no option but to publicly disassociate himself from the campaign, saying the library had given in to what he claimed was a 'censorious, bullying culture' instead of standing up for ideals of free speech. The book's editors, Lucy Hunter Blackburn and Susan Dalgety, have branded the removal of their work 'cowardly and anti-democratic' and repeated their call for the decision to be reversed. 'I think this was a fundamental mistake and the correct thing for the library to do would be to put up their hands, admit that and reinstate the book,' Graham said. 'Instead, there have been weaselly responses. 'The library is not saying they have taken it out because it contains hate speech, because it does not. They've taken it out because of some ill-conceived notion that someone might be upset by its presence. That's not a good enough reason for me.' Graham added: 'This is not about taking one side or the other on the trans debate. It's about the principles of open debate and free speech, which to the national library should be sacrosanct. 'It isn't too late to redeem the situation. But if there is not a change of heart, I feel I will have no choice but to publicly dissociate myself from the exhibition and the campaign that surrounds it. 'This stupid escapade does not undo the very good work the library does, but it should never have happened. 'I couldn't say definitely that I will not donate any more money if they stick to their guns on this, but it has certainly given me pause for thought. That makes me incredibly sad.' Shah, who last year received a salary of between £105,000 and £110,000 in addition to pension contributions of £41,000, decided to exclude the book with the support of Sir Drummond Bone, the chairman of the National Library of Scotland (NLS). An insider within the cultural sector in Scotland said the decision was symptomatic of a wider trend of managers being seen to cave in to demands of young, activist staff members who have little resilience or tolerance of views different to their own. Graham became a major donor to the NLS as he credited free access to books at Cambuslang public library in his childhood as shaping his life and allowing him to go on to pursue a highly successful career in television. He sold his television company, Wall to Wall, in which he purchased a 33 per cent share for £1 in 1987, for about £25 million two decades later. Although the library receives the bulk of its funding from the Scottish government, private donors such as Graham, who has been repeatedly acknowledged by the library for his philanthropy, are also essential to its work. Graham has been one of the library's major donors over the past decade, funding major projects such as the digitisation of medieval manuscripts. He funds a scholarship at the library which is named in his honour, as is a room at the National Library of Scotland's moving image library at Kelvin Hall, Glasgow. Graham's generosity in supporting the centenary celebrations was singled out for praise by Shah at the launch of the Dear Library exhibition in June. Graham said he was initially impressed with it, before discovering that The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht, which included a contribution from JK Rowling, had been excluded. 'On the opening night of the exhibition, I thought it was fantastic, because I found at least two books in there that I consider to be among the worst ever written,' Graham said. 'I said to Amina I thought that was great, because the whole point was that while some people are inspired by a book, others will hate it. That's the joy of the society we live in and the freedom that we have. 'There are books that are beyond the pale, but there are very few of them. You need to be very careful before you ban anything. 'This book [The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht] was clearly selected to be included, and frankly the management were then bullied out of that by a staff lobby group. 'They say they've removed this book to protect relationships with stakeholders. But they certainly didn't consult me and if they had, I would have voiced strong opposition. I am angry and disappointed at the decision to remove the book as well as the implication that as a stakeholder, I am somehow supportive of it, which I am not.' Kate Forbes, the deputy first minister, has found herself at the centre of a similar row after staff and performers at Edinburgh's Summerhall arts venue criticised her views on trans rights. Summerhall's bosses said Forbes had been permitted to speak at the venue as 'an oversight' after some of the artists set up a 'safe room' while the 5ft 2in politician was present as they were 'terrified' because of her opinions. A whistleblower who works within the arts sector in Scotland said that activist staff members were becoming increasingly powerful within major publicly funded institutions. 'I have been in so many meetings where it is just taken as a given that everyone there is in lockstep on these issues — that everyone hates JK Rowling and that books like The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht are dangerous and harmful,' a source claimed. 'The internal LGBT networks are given carte blanche and it is very isolating to those of us who do not agree with their extreme views, who are forced to self-censor or face, at best, being socially ostracised at work. 'It sounds ridiculous but those of us who don't agree with them feel like we're in an underground network like the French resistance or something, secretly sending each other supportive messages.' The insider added: 'A major part of the problem across the cultural sector is the infantilisation of younger staff members, who can't cope with any type of conflict or opposition to their views. 'This has now led to the ridiculous situation where people intolerant of ideas and books are not only working in our national library, but are calling the shots. Management are terrified and pander to them every time they have a tantrum.' The NLS has sought to defend its decision not to platform the book at its exhibition by claiming there were only 200 spaces for public display, and it received more than 500 nominations. However, documents released under a freedom of information request show that all books with two or more nominations were initially to be included in the public display, with the Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht obtaining four. Joanna Cherry, the former SNP MP and one of the essayists in the book, accused Shah of attempting to mislead her own staff with a message that claimed the library was not 'banning or censoring' books. Although the library does hold a copy of the book — a legal obligation given its statutory role — its exclusion from the Dear Library exhibition was the direct result of complaints from the LGBT staff network who did not like its contents, the documents show. 'I'm concerned that the librarian seems to be misleading her staff as well as the public and the media about what has occurred here,' Cherry said. 'The issue is not whether the book is available within the library's collections but her decision to withdraw it from an exhibition where it had rightly earned its place because of the prejudiced demands of a small group of her staff.' Cherry added: 'There is an increasing pattern in Scottish society where zealots masquerading as LGBTQ+ activists seek to censor women who want to talk about their rights. 'This book was written by feminists, survivors and lesbians. To remove it from an exhibition is not only an attack on freedom of expression, it is also discriminatory.' Hunter Blackburn said: 'We are very saddened that it has come to this, but we understand why Mr Graham has reached what must have been a very difficult decision for him. 'We will continue to seek for this to be resolved by the library making an unreserved apology, putting the book back in the exhibition where it won its rightful place, and, it becomes increasingly clear, undertaking a root-and-branch review of its internal culture and practices.' A spokeswoman for the NLS said: 'We are engaged in a robust and respectful conversation with Mr Graham about this matter, and we will accept his decision regardless of the outcome. 'It goes without saying we are indebted to Mr Graham for his support to the national library over the years. His assistance has helped us to preserve collections, reach new audiences and give young people's careers that much needed start through our apprenticeship programme.'

As the American streaming giant prepares to broadcast a second series of the lifestyle and cookery show, one of the Duke of Sussex 's old friends has spoken out about why the British failed to take the series to their hearts.

Truth about the mile-high monster: Millionaire threatened a stewardess with gang rape. Now our special report reveals six convictions, where he got his cash and what friends say about his VERY different two wives...

As the sun set over central London on Thursday evening, some of Britain's most high profile Pakistanis gathered for a glittering event at a five-star hotel.
