Princess told her fans: 'I passed…🤭,' and she looked very proud of herself while donning a glam makeup look and blue top.
Fans were delighted for the daughter of Katie and Peter Andre, and shared their messages of congratulations in the comments.
One person penned: 'Brilliant! Well done,' and another said: 'Congratulations princess safe driving now.'
Someone else added: 'Congrats I'm sure your dad will get you a decent car.'
And Princess' auntie, Sophie Price, wrote: 'Yes Pringle,' followed by a string of hands in the air emojis.
Meanwhile, Princess' mum Katie was disqualified from driving for two years in December 2021 after crashing her BMW in a drink-driving smash in Horsham.
Katie was charged at Northampton Magistrates' Court .
Speaking exclusively to The Sun last year, the star said she's sure someone she knows has left anonymous complaints to the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA).
She said: "I should have got my license back 16 months ago and I've still not got it.

"Someone anonymously kept emailing DVLA saying I'm not fit to drive and despite my doctors writing out fit to form letter four times, still haven't got it back.
"I know it's someone I know trying to spot me but it's unfair because I did my community service, paid my fine, done my online course, so I should have got it back last April the 4th and I still haven't got it."
Katie previously joked she would make her 17-year-old daughter become her chauffeur.
She told us at the time of Princess passing her theory: "Princess has passed her theory, she's got to do her test now, then me and Princess in the car."

Barry McIlheney obituary
Barry McIlheney, who has died aged 67, presided over many late 20th-century media success stories. In 1989 he launched the monthly film magazine Empire as editor, and in 1999 the celebrity weekly Heat as publisher. In his first job as editor, at the pop music fortnightly Smash Hits, he had more than doubled the magazine's sales in just over two years (it sold 400,000 copies when he took the job in October 1986; in November 1988, its Poll Winners' Party special sold over a million). As editor, he honed Smash Hits' quirky style and headlines ('Corky O'Riley, It's Kylie!' ran the cover line for a 1988 interview with Kylie Minogue) and led a team of writers that included the future Observer columnist Miranda Sawyer, biographer Chris Heath and novelist William Shaw. He also commissioned memorable features, including Tom Hibbert's 1987 interview with Margaret Thatcher, in which she was asked if she watched Spitting Image, and when she was going to knight Cliff Richard. McIlheney's personality was welcoming and irreverent, and he was referred to by various nicknames by his staff. These included Big Man, Barry Mac and Barney Tabasco, a name by which he was once announced by an American receptionist (in the 2000s, he adopted it as a writing pseudonym for Word magazine). While editing Empire, from 1989 to 1993, he also reviewed films, in an unpretentious, lively style. 'Nothing really happens except for a lot of guys sitting around talking shite,' he wrote of 1992 drama Glengarry Glen Ross. 'But what wonderful guys, what memorable shite.' Made managing editor of Empire and its sister title Premiere in 1992, he ran the entirety of the Emap Metro publishing group from 1995, then the merged company Emap Elan from 2000 to 2007, with Q, Mojo, Elle, Red, the Face, FHM and Zoo all in his roster. The younger son of Muriel (nee Wilson), an office administrator at the Kennedy and Morrison steel company, and David McIlheney, a production manager in the shirt-making and textiles industries, Barry was born in Belfast and grew up in the north of the city near what became the Oldpark Road and Cliftonville peace line. A pupil at the Belfast Royal Academy, he became a fan of the NME at 14. 'I'm sure a therapist would have a field day on the escape that this new world offered me from the very grim reality of everyday life in north Belfast,' he said in a 2013 interview with the MagCulture website. At 18, he went to Trinity College Dublin to read history, often returning home to sing and write lyrics for the North Belfast Boogie Band, who in 1978 changed their style to punk, and their name to Shock Treatment. They were played on the John Peel Show, supported the Skids and U2, and released three tracks before McIlheney's departure in 1982: the first of these, Belfast Telegraph, about local news, appeared on the 1980 Room To Move EP, and a double A-side single, Big Check Shirts/Mr Mystery Man, was released in 1981. His father had died in 1979 and, living with his mother after leaving university, McIlheney worked behind the counter at the Kennedy and Morrison steelyard, then as a library assistant at Skegoneill Library. He found work in local newspapers and freelanced as Belfast correspondent for the Irish music magazine Hot Press. Around 1983, he moved to London for postgraduate study at City University Journalism School and freelanced for Melody Maker, becoming a staff writer then the magazine's reviews editor. His report of Live Aid in 1985 won him the Periodical Publishers Association (PPA)'s Young Journalist award. Recommended to Smash Hits by a colleague, he was hired soon afterwards as its new editor. McIlheney left magazines in 2008 to become Sport Media Group's editor-in-chief, a position he held for a year. In 2010, he became chief executive of the PPA; he described the role to MagCulture as 'the perfect chance to have a meaningful and useful second act'. After semi-retiring in 2020, he became a part-time board member of the press regulator Ipso, ran events for the Integrated Education Fund, a charitable foundation supporting integrated schooling in Northern Ireland, and spent more time at his home in Spain. In 2020 he wrote about his punk past for the Northern Irish culture fanzine Dig With It ('Everybody looks so young, everybody looks so thin'), and in 2024 he returned to sing vocals with the reunited Shock Treatment, including on three tracks for the album Exclusive Photos. He was due to perform with them again in Belfast this month. He married his Smash Hits colleague Lola Borg, now a writer and psychotherapist, in 1991. She survives him, as do their son, Francis, and daughter, Mary, and his older brother, Colin. Barry Wilson McIlheney, journalist, born 13 May 1958; died 25 May 2025

UK Sport demands answers in British rowing's rape scandal
UK Sport, the Olympic funding body, has made urgent contact with British Rowing following 'deeply concerning' allegations at Britain's most prestigious rowing club. Leander Club, which supplied more than half of Team GB's rowers at the Paris Olympics, has been accused of failing to properly investigate allegations of rape and harassment. Telegraph Sport has learnt of three separate incidents involving male rowers who allegedly raped female squad members at the esteemed Henley-based club over the past five years. Concerns from female squad members – which were supported by more than a dozen of the men's rowing team – that sexual assault allegations were not being taken seriously are said to have been repeatedly ignored or dismissed by the Leander committee. The male rowers have denied the rape allegations. British Rowing received around £26 million of public money at the Paris Olympic and paralympic cycle, an investment that has since been upped to more than £28 million ahead of the Los Angeles Games in 2028. UK Sport have previously instigated investigations following welfare concerns at governing bodies which include British Cycling and British Gymnastic. Following the Leander allegations, UK Sport said: 'Our thoughts are with those affected by the allegations which have recently been reported, and we take matters of integrity and safeguarding extremely seriously. 'We encourage any member of staff or athlete on Olympic and Paralympic performance programmes to report allegations of unacceptable behaviour to Sport Integrity, the confidential reporting line. In light of these deeply concerning allegations, we are in contact with British Rowing.' In response to Telegraph Sport's investigation, Leander said: 'Leander Club takes seriously all issues relating to the safeguarding of our athletes. We have strict procedures in place to carefully examine any formal complaints and regularly review our club disciplinary processes to ensure they are fit for purpose, treating our athletes fairly and with respect. 'In addition to an updated code of conduct, we have partnered with a specialist external provider to ensure members of the club know without doubt the standards we expect and the ways to highlight any individual misconduct. When issues are raised, we will continue to take immediate action where necessary to protect the welfare of our athletes.' A British Rowing spokesperson said: 'We are not able to comment on individual safeguarding concerns and processes conducted at clubs owing to their confidential nature. 'What we are able to say categorically is that the safety of people taking part in our sport is the very first item of importance on our agenda. We investigate anything reported to us fully and comprehensively, as you would expect and as it is our remit to do. This would have been the case if sufficient information had been raised with us to conduct an investigation in respect of the raised allegations.'

Our politicians are the least serious in history – and that includes you, Nigel
This week an appalling case reminded us just how broken Britain is. We learnt that a 15-year-old boy killed elderly dogwalker Bhim Kohli while a female friend, aged 12, filmed it on her mobile phone. Both were laughing as the beloved grandfather lay dying in the street. How on earth can it have come to this? The case is emblematic of everything that has gone wrong – and continues to go wrong – in our fragmented, seemingly lawless society. We are led by complete incompetents: from police administering two-tier justice right the way up to our Prime Minister. It is little wonder there is a university course running in France on why the UK is such a failure. And Mayor of London Sadiq Khan's answer to our capital's woes, despite knife and other crimes soaring? Decriminalising cannabis. We knew Labour were not fit for purpose before they even took office, but this latest example of idiocy from City Hall really does sum up the problem with having hapless, careerist socialists anywhere near the levers of power. And now Reform UK appears to have imploded. Having abandoned the Conservative Party after an inept 14 years of governance, which left us with higher bills, higher taxes, higher NHS waiting lists and higher immigration, voters had hoped that Nigel Farage and his motley crew might bring the salvation Britain so desperately needs. Reform was meant to represent the alternative to 'uniparty' politics by ripping up the political rule book and restoring good old fashioned common sense. What we have learnt in the past 24 hours, however, is that the one thing uniting all four major parties in the UK (and I'm including the ludicrous Liberal Democrats in this, with their clown of a leader Sir Ed Davey) is just how thoroughly unserious they all are. Westminster currently resembles a cross-party circus act; what has the electorate done to deserve this? Let's take them one by one. We currently cannot believe a word slippery Starmer says after a string of Labour lies on tax, winter fuel, defence spending, relations with the EU, the Chagos Islands, immigration – you name it. They promised 6,500 more teachers with their vindictive VAT raid on private school fees and this week it was revealed teacher numbers are actually down since they took office. Millionaires are leaving, businesses are folding, more tax rises are on the way. We've got an Attorney General who wants to defend terrorists like Osama bin Laden's right-hand man while the justice system imprisons mothers like Lucy Connolly for 'hurty words' on the internet. The Left accuses Reform of being amateurs – and then run the country as if it's a university student union staffed by drop-outs. Yet the Right-wing opposition appears equally as childish. This week, we have had the shadow chancellor Mel Stride denouncing Liz Truss's premiership with some weasel words about the Tories 'never again undermining fiscal credibility by making promises we cannot afford'. The former prime minister – once famously compared to a lettuce – hit back with an excoriating statement on the political playground that is X, accusing Sir Mel of being a 'creature of the system' by siding with 'failed Treasury orthodoxy'. In what world does this blue-on-blue infighting help Kemi Badenoch as she struggles to cut through? Equally infantile was the typically boyish intervention of her former leadership rival Sir James Cleverly with a demand that the Conservatives stick to net zero – despite it being among the main reasons the party is now facing its own climate emergency. He's been invisible for months and then emerges with this sort of unhelpful Ed Milibandesque claptrap? Read the room, for pity's sake. All credit to Robert Jenrick for trying to find some grown-up solutions to some of the country's problems – like fare dodging, notwithstanding the self-serving nature of his attention-grabbing social media endeavours. Badenoch is trying her best to be a serious politician, with thoughtful rather than knee-jerk interventions on issues like our membership of the ECHR – only to have MPs in her ranks like Kit Malthouse spreading anti-Israel slanders like his declaration this week that Gaza is 'an abattoir where starving people are lured out through combat zones to be shot at'. Along with other Tories, he's also been calling for the Prime Minister to recognise a Palestinian state. Harebrained student politics are clearly not just confined to the Labour Party. We had hoped Reform, led by streetwise Nigel Farage, a man of political wisdom and experience, might rise above all this. But even he has been dogged by infantilism. If Rupert Lowe's 'more people watch my X videos than Nigel's' bravado wasn't bad enough, Reform now has been badly damaged by the similarly petulant flouncing out of party chairman Zia Yusuf. I like Zia and think he deserves credit for all the hard work he has put into professionalising the party over the past 11 months. But what on earth was there to be gained from such a public tantrum? Just leave quietly, don't blow the whole thing up with spiteful talk of working to get the party elected 'no longer being a good use of my time'. Similarly juvenile was the language he used to describe Reform MP Sarah Pochin's Commons call to ban the burka (which provoked laughter from the front bench: that's the state of public discourse in this country, folks). Responding to Katie Hopkins, of all people, on X, he wrote: 'Nothing to do with me. Had no idea about the question nor that it wasn't policy. Busy with other stuff. I do think it's dumb for a party to ask the PM if they would do something the party itself wouldn't do.' At the age of 38 and having worked at Goldman Sachs and established his own hugely successful business, he should know this is not the way to behave in the public eye. Reform remains a party that cannot even govern itself, let alone the country. This simply isn't good enough. The Government is useless, the Tories are a busted flush; if Reform seriously wants to break the doom loom of despair then it cannot be part of the problem. The party must get its act together – and fast.
