Princess was invited to Ibiza to make her debut on the catwalk and the moment was captured on her new ITV series, The Princess Diaries.
Katie sensationally revealed last month that she was banned from attending the event to watch Princess's success, despite holidaying on the Spanish island at the same time.
Now, mum-of-five Katie has been accused of 'trying to steal Princess' limelight.'
A source said: 'On the face of it, Katie seems to be doing everything she can to take the attention away from her daughter now.'
They continued to tell the Mail: 'Katie has had no part in her daughter's career - and never will.
'This should be a really exciting time for Princess but over the last couple of months her mum has been doing everything she can to take the limelight away from her.
'Princess was booked to make her catwalk debut at the opening of the Ibiza Fashion Festival back in June, and what did Katie do? She flew out to Ibiza and made sure everyone knew she was there with daily stories and pictures with the likes of Wayne Lineker and Dean Gaffney. It's embarrassing.
'What mother wouldn't want to let their child have their time in the spotlight? Princess has become a success despite who her mum is. She is not like Katie and will never do a show like Love Island because that's not who she is.'
They went on: 'These latest comments are going to really upset Princess. She loves her mum but her behaviour is showing her that she doesn't have her best interests at heart.
Katie Price broke down in tears after being banned from seeing daughter Princess on Ibiza holiday
'Katie craves fame and attention and will use anything she can to make headlines even if it's at the detriment of her young daughter. It's sad.'
Katie, 47, said she "feels like Brooklyn Beckham" - who is in the midst of a feud with his high-profile family - after being "isolated" by the teen, who has penned a host of influencer deals and bagged her own TV show.
And scenes for the 18-year-old's new TV show have been released and show the teen joining 24 other models on the bikini catwalk in the White Isle.
She opts for a turquoise dress with bra top detail and a flowing skirt after a last minute outfit change which left her feeling anxious.

She told the camera: "There's a lot of models here I don't really fit in.
"I feel really anxious, I can feel my face getting red."
After being asked to lead the array of models, Princess' debut was hugely successful.
But the source continues to add that Katie is only focused on 'keeping herself in the limelight.'
They added: 'The show is about Princess's career as an influencer and her home life with dad Peter, step-mum Emily and brother Junior, which Katie is not involved in.
'Everyone is very protective of Princess. Big brother Junior has always looked out for her and knew she'd be the one to get all the attention when she got older. He filmed with her in Ibiza and while he see his mum, the first thing Katie did was post it all over her Instagram.
'Nothing is private with Katie, it's all about keeping herself in the limelight.
'And now she's kicking off and doing everything she can to overshadow what should be a really lovely time for Princess.'
KATIE'S SNUB
ITV2 bosses reportedly told how Katie could not be a part of the series.
A source told The Sun of the family turmoil and said: "Katie feels isolated and disregarded.
"She loves Princess so much and is supremely proud of the young woman she is becoming.
"Princess told her mum that she needed to distance herself publicly and yet chats to her all the time behind closed doors.
"She feels a bit like Brooklyn Beckham, with no one in the Andre family really speaking to her."
Katie and Peter started their relationship in 2004 after getting together on I'm A Celebrity . . . Get Me Out Of Here!.
They had Junior and Princess during their four-year marriage.
But their relationship fell apart in 2009 and they divorced.
SHOW SNUB
Princess is said to be hoping to show fans a different side to her with her brand new fly-on-the-wall series.
Despite Katie not getting a look-in, the programme will feature her dad and his wife Emily, according to MailOnline.
A source said: "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."
STRAINED RELATIONSHIP
It comes after Princess admitted this month she "wishes she had a happier childhood."
The TikTok star also addressed the "dark times" while she was growing up.
While Princess was too young to really remember her parents together, she has traumatic memories of the breakdown of Katie's third marriage to Kieran Hayler.
In her new ITV2 series - The Princess Diaries - the teen opens up about her younger years and admits: "I did have a counsellor, I do still see her every now and then.
"But I don't feel like I can really talk, so I just write everything down in my notes."

Emmerdale fans 'work out' who gets framed for Mack's 'death' in sick revenge
Emmerdale viewers fear a character is going to be set up for the reported murder of Mackenzie Boyd amid claims the character will bow out of the ITV soap at the hands of John Sugden With a murder said to be looming on Emmerdale, fans believe a character could be framed for the horrific crime in a sickening revenge twist. Reports have emerged that John Sugden is about to claim his next and possibly final victim, and now fans think someone else will be blamed. John has so far gotten away with murdering Nate Robinson, injuring Aidan Moore and orchestrating a string of other incidents to play the hero. Now it's claimed Mackenzie Boyd will be killed off in a brutal new twist. It comes as reports stated actor Lawrence Robb was bowing out of the ITV soap after five years, as part of a twist involving killer John. According to the rumours, Mack will rumble John's crimes and it will lead to Mack's gruesome death. But will it be poor Robert Sugden left to face punishment for the crime amid his feud with his villainous brother John? John has made it abundantly clear he wants Robert out of the way, deliberately targeting him and this is only set to continue. Amid spoilers revealing Robert and ex Aaron Dingle grow closer, sparking affair predictions, we will see Aaron's husband John desperate to keep the pair apart. So how far will he go to get rid of his brother, and could it see Robert sent back to prison? Robert was released earlier this year after six years inside over the death of Lee Posner. Fans are now concerned that if Mack is killed off, John will cover his tracks and pin it all on Robert to get him locked up yet again. One fan posted on social media: "John better not frame Robert for Mack's murder." Another viewer said: "He'll probably frame Robert and Aaron carries on being blind until next spring." It comes as actor Lawrence addressed the rumoured exit for the first time on Loose Women on Wednesday. He said: "There are lots of rumours, and rumours they shall remain", before adding: "I've always said that being in the show that I never want to be too prescriptive with it. " But when asked how he would feel about being killed off, he admitted that he would always feel grateful for the time he's had on the show, as he issued a warning to fans. He said: "I've always enjoyed doing what I'm doing. If, and when, the time to leave comes, whether that would be my choice or the choice of the producers, then I will be thankful for the time that I've had. Ultimately, no one is safe in the show", before quipping: "Especially not in that village!" On the future for Mack amid a row with his wife Charity Dingle and the stuff with John, Lawrence recently remained coy but did hint at bad things ahead. He simply said: "It's not looking good." Lawrence went on: "Whilst Mackenzie has got the argument with Charity on his plate, he's also got a pretty critical moment with John on his plate as well. And, combine these two things and it does not spell good things."

Princess Andre's 'dark' world as Katie Price's ex Kieran Hayler issues grovelling statement
Katie Price's marriage to her third husband was marred by toxicity, persistent infidelity and a 'Mucky Mansion' - now Princess Andre has spoken of her childhood pain Princess Andre has a new reality show and The Princess Diaries is already giving us plenty of insight into her relationship with mum Katie Price. One of the big takeaways from the the ITV show is that the 18-year-old influencer's admission that Katie's troubled past had led her to experience things 'kids shouldn't see'. "I wish I could have had a happier childhood," she said. "I had so much on my plate at such a young age and had things at the back of my mind." Princess, who is the daughter of Katie's first husband Peter Andre, was 10 when her mum split from third husband Kieran Hayler after five years together. "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," the teenager said on the show. "I'm not healed or fully recovered from it but mum has fixed herself compared to how she was back then." Katie, 47, and Kieran married in Weston-Super-Mare in 2013 and went onto have two children together, Jett and Bunny. They renewed their vows in Barbados in 2016 on what was said to be a make or break holiday, with Kieran cheating on Katie multiple times throughout the course of their relationship. One of Kieran's mistresses was Jane Pountney, Katie's friend of 20 years and he cheated on her with a second pal, Chrissy Thomas. The vow renewal didn't work - in 2017 the former glamour model found out Kieran had been unfaithful once more with their children's nanny, Nikki Brown and the following year they went their separate ways. "He did a lot of stuff and when they split up everything kind of went downhill," said Princess. "My mum, obviously being heartbroken, didn't deal with that the best way. She went through a very, very like dark time, which is understandable." Katie later opened up about her 'toxic' marriage to Kieran, blaming him for the 'disgusting' state of her home and her depression, which saw her want to stay sleep all day. The 38-year-old reality star told the Daily Mail this week he would love to apologise in person to Princess for the impact his troubled relationship with Katie had on her. "I am as sorry as I can be to Princess witnessing us go through such a horrible separation," he said. "Leaving them was one of the hardest things I ever had to do." But Kieran, who revealed he longer has a relationship with his former step-children, also told the publication he had been the best step dad he could be. "I regret the way things happened but at the same time those are issues I never put around the children, they were put around the children by everything becoming so public," he said. Kieran moved on with Michelle Penticost and they had son Apollo before they split earlier this year. In 2019, Michelle secured a restraining order against Katie for harassing her.

‘I knew my job was to fulfil a man's fantasy': Elizabeth McGovern on Downton, early fame and co-starring with Brad Pitt
For the maudlin among us, the final Downton Abbey film should perhaps come with a warning. Everything in it is tinged with wistfulness – a goodbye to cherished characters and a farewell to a stately home that was a sturdy presence in a transient world. When the ITV series started in 2010, wasn't life … better? Did Elizabeth McGovern feel this too, the sense of time passing? After all, her character, Cora, is now ageing out of custodianship of Downton along with her husband, Lord Grantham, in favour of a younger generation and a changing era as the 1930s dawn. 'No!' says McGovern, snapping me out of my melancholy. 'I feel very excited that I'm going into a gratifying new phase in my career.' As well as reviving Cora, there is the play she has written, Ava: The Secret Conversations. Starring McGovern as Hollywood actor Ava Gardner, it will run in New York, Chicago and Toronto, having made its debut in London in 2022. There is also a new album of her folk-inspired music. 'I feel like I'm just beginning,' she declares as we meet at her publicist's London office. At first glance, McGovern, fine-boned and composed, seems delicate – but if you only go on first impressions, you'll miss her rebellious spirit. Not that making Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale wasn't emotional. 'You don't have to work very hard, as a film-maker, to touch on that depth, because we've been working on it for so many years,' she says. McGovern worried that the absence of Maggie Smith – who died last year after giving the show the brilliantly scathing Dowager Countess – would feel like too big a loss to the Downton world. But she says Smith's presence 'permeates' it. 'She's still very much in the atmosphere. I don't feel there's a big hole. In fact, in some ways, it sort of freed up the rest of the narrative to have a flow, because it's not stopping for her moments. But everything she represents is there. She's in every room, in every interaction, so it's not like she's not there. It's a weird thing.' The women of Downton, whether the steely Lady Mary or spirited young cook Daisy, are gratifyingly tough, but Cora, usually quietly supportive in the background, never seemed that robust, even though it was her money – as an American heiress – that was running everything. Was that difficult to play? 'At times, yes,' says McGovern. 'I think as a contemporary woman, it is hard to feel the straitjacket of that period.' Did she ever fight for Cora to have more agency? 'I wish at times she could have had more interesting stories,' says McGovern, but adds that it wouldn't have been appropriate for her to have had 'any more political or social power, because it just wouldn't be accurate to the time'. Cora, though, is a vision of an exciting America; the daughter of a Jewish immigrant installed at Downton with her bags of new money and her progressive outlook. Were Downton set now, instead of Cora coming here to shake up Britain's class-ridden ways, she would be a wealthy liberal refugee, a bit like Ellen DeGeneres, fleeing Trump's America. McGovern, who grew up in California, has lived in the UK for the past 32 years. She is shocked and disappointed at modern US politics. 'I mean,' she says, 'it's a reality that must have been bubbling away under what I thought was America. It can't have come from nowhere.' But, describing herself as a positive person, she adds: 'I think it will be painful, but we have too much successful history as a free country for us to let it go. It's all of our responsibility to peacefully make sure we hold on to everything that I was confident – and complacent about – that America represented.' McGovern had huge success early on. Her debut was in Robert Redford's 1980 film Ordinary People, and she won an Oscar nomination for her role in her second film, Ragtime. This was followed by a part in Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in America, opposite Robert de Niro. 'I think I did feel like, 'Gosh, this isn't as hard as people say.'' She smiles. 'Until I later experienced how difficult it is. My experience early on was just trying to keep my head on straight, do job after job, and do what most people are doing at that age – try to grow up. I only realised later how difficult it is to sustain a career.' Hers wasn't a showbiz family: her parents were teachers. And although she has loved acting since she was a child, it was never about becoming a star. As a young woman in an often dangerous industry, this probably protected her. 'I was never desperate, so I could always just walk away. A lot of young women didn't feel they could. I think I was very lucky.' It also made her see the downsides of fame. 'I think I did manage to avoid it myself, but the price you pay for fame is that it becomes really hard to have any relationships of intimacy, because you are collateral. Your whole being has sort of been sold, and that creates a tension about what people want from you.' A lot of McGovern's early roles were as the girlfriend to the male lead. Then, she says: 'I went from being the girlfriend to the perfect wife, and that I found frustrating. Most movies, television – it's always the man's point of view. It's such a deep, subliminal thing that audiences are not even aware of it. I wasn't even particularly aware of it. I knew my job early on was to fulfil a man's fantasy of the woman they wanted. It never occurred to me to even question it.' Brad Pitt played McGovern's boyfriend in the 1994 comedy The Favor. We joke – bitterly – that were she to be in a film with him now, she would probably be cast as his mother. This says a lot about what's still considered desirable in a woman even though, at 64, McGovern is only three years Pitt's senior. 'I really don't think that, just because society is viewing something that way, we have to. I try to have this discussion with my daughters. We can have a feeling independent of the consensus in society. I've just done my own thing and just kept doing it.' She bristles, not unreasonably, when I point out that her embracing her silver hair seems rare in her business. Was that a political decision? 'Not really. But once again, I feel like a woman my age – that's what we're asked to talk about. I regret that about society.' There is something bracing about the way McGovern carves her own path. She left Hollywood and moved to London to start a family; she has two grownup daughters with her husband, the film-maker and producer Simon Curtis (who directed The Grand Finale). Approaching her 40s, she started a band, Sadie and the Hotheads, and started releasing music. 'I have to remind myself,' she says, 'that people will either like it or they won't – and whatever they feel is fine with me. It's about doing it.' In her 50s, she wrote her play about Gardner, drawn to the actor's independent spirit. Now in her 60s, she is writing a screenplay, although she won't say what it's about. 'It's my next obsession. I really want to write stuff. I'm really excited about that.' Doing so is partly a way to create interesting work for herself as an older actor. There has certainly been plenty of talk about this – does she think the situation has improved? 'Not that I've noticed.' She loved the recent show Dying for Sex, in which Michelle Williams plays a terminally ill woman in her 40s who embarks on a last attempt at sexual exploration. 'It's such a female story. I found that to be really encouraging, but it's not going to be about someone my age.' Why? Is it because society considers the thought of older women having a sex life shocking? 'I think possibly, yes. I mean, what can we do as women, except just keep going and not buy into it? We have no other choice.' If it takes a bit of effort, the pay-off is surely worth it – if McGovern and her outlook are anything to go by. 'It's a daily exercise in getting your head tuned into the right thing. It's not that I blame anyone for accepting the status quo, but it doesn't mean I have to. No way.' She laughs. 'No way.' Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale is out on 11 September in Australia, and 12 September in the UK and US. Ava: The Secret Conversations is at New York City Center until 14 September.
