Princess Andre, 17, looks the spitting image of her mother Katie Price, 47, at the same age as she sports a curly-haired look for Dua Lipa concert
Princess Andre looked the spitting image of her mother Katie Price as she posed for a selfie on Wednesday. The daughter of Peter Andre, 17, sported a curly-haired looked similar to her mother in her heyday for the snap after getting ready for a Dua Lipa show. Fully glammed up with a full face of W7 Cosmetics makeup, Princess cracked a smile for the camera as the sun beamed down on her. 'What a beauty...' read the caption penned by Princess's beautician. The curly-haired look brought back memories of Katie, now 47, who donned a similar haircut when she shot to fame back in the 1990s. Pictures of the former glamour model taken during her modelling days in 1995 show her sporting frizzy light-brown locks while clad in a white two-piece skirt and top. Katie has indeed sported a number of different hairstyles over the years. After rising to stardom with her natural curly hair, during her Jordan days Katie would regularly straighten her brown locks. She later dyed her hair blonde, actually sporting a braided look during her time on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! in 2004 - when she met Princess's father Peter Andre, 52. The nepo baby this week opened up about her private life in a rare interview, revealing that she's 'not a big drinker'. Princess, who turns 18 this weekend, told Ok! Magazine that she isn't a huge fan of drinking because she'd 'never want to embarrass herself'. 'I'm not really a big drinker or party-goer,' the 17-year-old revealed. 'I'll never put myself in a position that would make me look bad.' Princess also opened up about her split from her boyfriend of two years last month. 'I'm feeling good. I've always kept my personal life personal so I don't talk too much about it but now is the time to focus on me.' It was reported in May that she had split from her partner after her busy career left 'no place for a man'. While her former flame remains unnamed, Princess declared last year that she was 'in love'. According to The Sun Princess, who kept much of her relationship out of the public eye, will be doing the same with the 'tough' break up. A source told the publication: 'They just grew apart, they were each other's first love so it has been tough but there are no hard feelings.' 'He's still on good terms with both Katie and Peter, Princess is really concentrating on her career right now and there's no place for a man'. Princess' reps declined to comment when contacted by MailOnline. The teen first went public with their romance when she invited him along to her mother Katie's 45th birthday celebrations in Brighton in May 2023. Katie then appeared on Jamie Laing's Private Parts podcast, where she opened up on her thoughts about the romance. Discussing her Christmas plans at the time, she revealed: 'Princess and her boyfriend are coming up with me for the weekend.' Jamie excitedly interrupted: 'Princess has a boyfriend!' causing Katie to reply: 'I know, Ed. He's alright actually.' Describing their relationship, she continued: 'I watch them, and they argue, then they laugh. They argue like proper little teenagers. 'They're both like jealous of each other and it's like, 'Oh shut up you two!' They are funny together, they're like a little married couple.' Katie then spoke about her parenting rules for the couple, saying she was 'easygoing' because she remembers how she was at their age. However, Princess' dad Peter Andre has admitted he was 'struggling' with the news that his daughter was dating and told Woman magazine: 'I'm not happy about this at all. I'm struggling beyond belief, but that's life. We've had many chats. I have very strict rules in my house.' He admitted: 'I had this rule that would never have a boyfriend until she was 38, and now she's 16 and she's talking about boys!'. Princess has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame in recent years and this month proudly revealed she's bought her first car with her own money. She's amassed more than 743,000 followers on her Instagram and has vowed to become a 'millionaire by the age of 20'. 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. She made her modelling debut last year and is preparing to star in her own TV show for the first time. In 2024, Princess made her modelling debut with PrettyLittleThing after signing a four-figure deal with the brand. Her mother Katie started modelling at the age of 17 as a fresh-faced natural beauty. Since her first brand deal, Princess has gone on to attend events work work with other fashion and beauty brands including White Fox and Boots.

Is Marks & Spencer's Wimbledon-inspired strawberry and cream sarnie a Grand Slam... or a total flop? We try the sandwich everyone is talking about to find out
One major British institution has paid homage to another, as Marks & Spencer has released a strawberry and cream sandwich just in time for Wimbledon - but is it a Grand Slam or a total flop? Celebrating the traditional summer treat, the UK supermarket has unveiled a limited edition sweet snack, inspired by Japanese 'sweet sandos'. Retailing for £2.90 at the High Street Kensington branch, the shop opted for brioche-style sweet bread, filled with soft cheese and crème freche that housed full, decadent slices of its curated Red Diamond strawberries. And sampling the fruity snack, FEMAIL awarded it a full three points. With a sandwich where ingredients are minimal, quality is key - and M&S more than delivers on that front. On first bite, I was wowed by how fresh and richly sweet the berries were, cutting through the creamy barrier with a fragrant tang. The specially grown variety, provided by 'trusted M&S Select Farms' are 'left to ripen for longer to ensure they're deliciously sweet and juicy', proving their prowess in not just their huge size but juicy crimson red hue. The supermarket isn't stingy either, offering a solid spread of three big strawberry halves. Elsewhere the cream mixture - thickened by the addition of cheese - added an icing-like feel to the sandwich whereas as the sweet bread resembled a cakey sponge. The offering felt more like a dessert than a sarnie - and was presented more like one - so expect to fill up on the sugary flavours. While the sweet treat is certainly filling, I did notice that it sat heavy in my stomach for the rest of the day, and I wasn't able to finish it all. Strawberries and cream are a quintessentially refreshing two-ingredient snack; so adding another carb element to it certainly made the meal feel more staunch. The only thing I felt it was lacking was a third addition - perhaps a new texture like a runny jam or a crunchy smattering of sprinkles. It's also not one you can nibble on throughout the day. Within a few hours, the remnants of my sandwich started sagging and falling apart. And M&S isn't the only brand to offer a Wimbledon-themed treat; American restaurant Subway is offering free strawberry and cream sandwiches for one day only. Selected locations will give away subs to fans on Monday 30th June 2025. Lighter and less sweet than the cakey M&S sandwich, strawberry slices, clotted creme and a fruity puree are laid out on savoury Italian white bread. While the ingredients don't feel as flavourful as the UK supermarket's, Subway offers a more delicate treat that doesn't settle as intensely. The creme mixture is less decadent, but allows for a more relaxed and moreish snack. Each participating Subway restaurant will have 100 6-inch Strawberries & Cream Subs to give away on its single day debut; in the below locations: Wimbledon (6/6A Hartfield Road), Birmingham (80 Smallbrook, Queensway), Liverpool (Central Shopping Centre), Derby (Pride Park) and Bristol (Galleries Food Court). Marks & Spencer announced the release of their product - inspired by Japanese fruit sandwiches which originated as fruit shops opened near major train stations and business districts in the early 1900s - earlier this week. As these businesses grew, many began to open cafes to allow the public to access luxury fruits at a reasonable by incorporating them into dishes such as parfaits, shortcakes and sandwiches. M&S said that while its latest creation may be mistaken for a dessert, shoppers will find it in the regular savoury sandwich section. It added the sandwiches were available to purchase in stores now, with some customers claiming to have already tried it. Lighter and less sweet than the cakey M&S sandwich, strawberry slices, clotted creme and a fruity puree are laid out on savoury Italian white bread One person rated it a '100000/10' and said it was the 'best sandwich ever' while commenting on M&S' Instagram account. Another said: ''I have tried this already and it is berry berry good.' A third penned: 'Where are my car keys!!!! I need to get this NOW.' A fourth commented: 'I might have to treat myself to one on the way to work tomorrow,' while another compared it to 'cake on the go'. M&S said: 'Inspired by the Japanese sweet sandos, recently spotted popping up in London 's trendiest Japanese patisseries, our product developers have long dreamed of creating a dessert sandwich. 'With our exclusive Red Diamond Strawberries at their juiciest best, the time has finally come to create the ultimate strawberries and creme experience.' M&S is saying its strawberries and cream sandwich is ideal for 'alfresco lunches, afternoon tea at home, summer picnics, courtside snack breaks or a sweet afternoon pick me up'. M&S Food first sold freshly made sandwiches in the 1920s, and expanded sales with pre-packed sandwiches in the 1980s. The retailer's food halls have sold four billion sandwiches to date. One person rated it a '100000/10' and said it was the 'best sandwich ever' while commenting on M&S' Instagram account Strawberries and cream are a popular British dessert often enjoyed in the summer months when the fruit is in season in the UK. The combination is thought to date back to the Tudor era, where dishes of strawberries and cream would be served at Henry VIII's royal banquets. It has also been made popular after being served at Wimbledon every year and is a popular snack with spectators. Wimbledon announced are raising the price of their world famous strawberries and cream for the first time in 15 years. The All England Club have taken great pride in freezing the price of strawberries at £2.50 per portion since 2010, but Mail Sport can reveal that will increase by 20p for 2025. A spokesperson for the All England Club commented, 'We have taken the decision to slightly increase the price of strawberries this year from £2.50 to £2.70. 'We feel this modest increase still ensures that our world-famous strawberries are available at a very reasonable price.' With tournament running costs increasing every year, the price hike shows even Wimbledon is not immune to the cost of living crisis. The club sell around 140,000 punnets per year, meaning the new price will bring in an extra £28,000. At £2.70 the event's iconic snack is easily the best value food on site. Wimbledon is also one of the very few sporting events which allows fans to bring in their own food and drink - including alcohol - so visitors on a budget can always bring in their own strawberries. They would not be as fresh as those served up at Wimbledon, however, who only serve strawberries picked that morning and shipped in from the family-run Hugh Lowe Farm in Kent.

'Newly single' Orlando Bloom kisses Kim Kardashian in first outing since Katy Perry split - as they mingle in Venice ahead of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez's $20 million wedding
Orlando Bloom enjoyed a friendly reunion with Kim Kardashian as they mingled in Venice ahead of of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez 's $20 million wedding. The actor is said to have split from fiancée Katy Perry and is preparing to make his debut as a single man at the star-studded ceremony on Friday. Orlando, 48, wasted no time reaching in for several air kisses with Kim, 44, as the pair joined Khloe Kardashian and friends for a catch up before the ceremony. The Lord Of The Rings star kept things casual in a black vest that displayed his muscular arms and shorts. Kim - who recently spent time in Paris with Lauren on her hen do - looked incredible in a tiny Balenciaga bandeau top, which also featured a ribbed maxi skirt. She teamed the garment with snakeskin boots and oversized shades while she shrugged a black hoodie off her shoulders. The Lord Of The Rings star kept things casual in a black vest that displayed his muscular arms and Nike shorts By her side was Khloe, who exuded glamour in a skintight leopard print catsuit that showcased her famous curves. The siblings were joined by mother Kris Jenner on the outing, who was also dressed in black, showcasing her figure in a low-cut dress. While across town, bride-to-be Lauren and fiancé Jeff looked in good spirits as they left their hotel the day before their extravagant wedding - no doubt keen to greet the new arrivals. Following on from the Kardashians, Oprah Winfrey was seen making more of a low-key arrival as she stepped out in a white ribbed jumper and trousers. The couple began their wedding celebrations with a drinks reception with a playlist of romantic music, blasting More Than A Woman by the Bee Gees. They then continued to play tunes like Nina Simone's I'm Feeling Good, Lovely Day by Bill Withers and Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison. Jeff and Lauren mixed the hits with a selection of traditional Italian music as they prepared for their big day. Earlier in the day, in the private garden of the hotel, which is surrounded by a 10ft brick wall, staff could be heard working to erect marquees, ready for a weekend of celebrations. They also put a VIP jetty up outside the venue for guests to use when they arrived. Huge security staff also surrounded the property, around five or six men at each entrance. The tech magnate and journalist have reportedly invited about 200 guests to their multi-million dollar nuptials in the Italian city. Around 90 private jets are set to land in local airports this week, bringing A-listers from show business, politics and finance to the widely-dubbed 'wedding of the century'. The celebrations are expected to kick off on Thursday and end on Saturday. But the historic venue that Bezos and Sanchez chose for part of their $20 million bash is covered in scaffolding, MailOnline can reveal. Kim ensured she would turn heads as she arrived at her Venice hotel in a tiny ab-flashing bandeau top on Thursday By her side was Khloe Kardashian, who exuded glamour in a skintight leopard print catsuit that showcased her famous curves Kim, was joined by her mother Kris Jenner on the outing, who was also dressed in black, showcasing her figure in a low-cut dress While across town, bride-to-be Lauren and fiancé Jeff looked in good spirits as they left their hotel the day before their extravagant wedding The mother-of-four was dressed to impress as she sashayed along the dock and jumped into a river taxi as she made her way to check into her hotel Kim was flanked by security as she left the airport and headed to greet the wedding couple The lavish three-day event will feature a party held within the fabulous 15th-century Madonna dell'Orto church in Venice's quaint Cannareggio district tomorrow night. Venice City Hall issued a directive on Wednesday cordoning off the area, isolating guests from activists who have been protesting for weeks that the celebrations will turn the city of gondolas and palazzi into a private amusement park for the rich. Bezos, who remains the executive chair of e-commerce giant Amazon and sits at number 4 on Forbes' billionaires list, got engaged to Sanchez in 2023, four years after the collapse of his 25-year marriage to Mackenzie Scott. In preparation, security guards have now blocked off entrances to the closure where the party will be held, but what guests will first see when they arrive is the iconic bell tower covered in scaffolding. This has left locals speculating that Bezos may have booked the venue based on seeing pictures on Google without realising it is being repaired. The revelation comes just a day after MailOnline revealed how a careless wedding organiser had unwittingly leaked sensitive details of the VIP event to the media by being photographed carrying a printed guest list. Meanwhile, the fact that the huge wedding is taking place in one of the world's most vulnerable heritage sites has become so controversial that it is being angrily discussed in Italian parliament. This controversy intensified overnight as council chiefs ordered the blocking off of the canal running in front of the church for around 200 metres, with a landing point for boats closed off with red and white tape. Khloe looked incredible in her figure-hugging one piece as she jumped into a river taxi Khloe's assistants dealt with her luggage as she got herself settled on the boat Access from the Brazzo and Dei Muti canals blocked as well from 6pm tonight - when the wedding festivities kick off with a pyjama party at a secret location - until midnight tomorrow. Dozens of electrical cables, threading along the ground like spaghetti, are being run from a noisy generator boat moored in the Madonna dell 'Orto canal, which is creating a noisy din. The venue for the party is the cloister next door to the church, which is where the famous Renaissance artist Tintoretto is buried. The website for the cloister describes the venue, which is used for the famous Biennale art exhibition in Venice, as 'simple, yet elegant'. Pictures from previous events show tables beneath the vaulted ceilings, atmospherically lit by candlelight – but this week the scaffolding on the church tower will be clearly visible. The cloister extends to three sides and is supported by ornate columns with a beautiful herringbone floor. When MailOnline approached a guard and asked if the cloister was open, we were told: 'No, it's closed, there is a private function.' The Aman hotel has built a private jetty for the lucky 48 guests who will be staying there for the Bezos wedding. Sat on the Grand Canal, the hotel has constructed a small pier covered in a blue tent for those who will be arriving by boat and require privacy. The couple have booked out all 24 grand rooms at the hotel from Wednesday. Kris looked incredible in her floor length gown that was adorned with ruffle detailing Extra police and added safety measures have been brought in for the wedding, and local authorities have been holding a series of daily meetings to discuss how to protect the expected 200 VIPs. According to local media reports, the city will pay overtime to an unspecified number of police officers involved in security for the wedding organisers. Among the assorted billionaires and millionaires on the guest list, there is also Ivanka Trump, who as the US president's daughter has an extra added level of security. All of this has prompted questions in parliament from furious MPs - mostly from opposition centre left and environmental parties - wanting to know just how much Italian taxpayers' money was being spent. Angelo Bonelli, an MP with the Italian Green and Left Alliance, angrily demanded that Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi from the ruling Brothers of Italy right-wing party provide cost details. Mr Bonelli said: 'We need information because from Wednesday until Saturday night the city of Venice will be in a virtual lockdown to allow the Amazon magnate's wedding to go ahead. 'It will be locked down, but it will also be a city bought for three days in a sort of unbridled celebration of luxury that will limit the movement of citizens. 'I am here to ask the Ministry of the Interior to guarantee the freedom to express dissent. How is it possible to buy a city for three days creating a series of inconveniences?' He added: 'I remember that Amazon is under investigation for the exploitation of workers, Bezos' wealth comes from this. If they can buy Venice for three days, these super rich can pay taxes.' Oprah kept things casual in a ribbed white jumper as she made her way to her hotel Bonelli's request was echoed by opposition M5S deputy Antonio Iaria, who said: 'We too, as the Five Star Movement, ask Piantedosi for information. 'In the Senate as M5S we also proposed an increase in the web tax not to go against a sector but to address a problem of the future. 'This government immediately bows to billionaires, it does not ask itself if in a historical moment like this a public order problem is not created. 'The government shows that Venice must not be a playground for billionaires, tourism is welcome but not to those who rent a city to the detriment of the citizens themselves.' He added: 'Bezos is getting married. Venice is blocked. And how much does it cost the Italian State? 'We asked Interior Minister Piantedosi. We pay, certainly, for security, for public order, to lock down an entire city and protect a cover wedding. 'But how much does all this cost Italy? Who guarantees security? Who coordinates traffic? 'Who manages the inconveniences for citizens and workers? The answer is always the same: the public machine, with public money. 'And in exchange? Selfies and luxury, while those struggling to pay the rent watch from afar.' Campaign group No Space For Bezos have already said they plan to disrupt the wedding by blocking canals and have asked activists to 'turn up with snorkels and masks', They have also been encouraged to bring inflatable crocodiles or other toys to scatter along the canals to impede the dozens of water taxis hired to ferry guests between venues. Ruling Brothers of Italy MP Salvatore Caiata hit back and said:'We do not agree that Piantedosi should report to the Chamber on this topic also because the Minister of the Interior is not a wedding planner, we cannot ask that the government come to report to the Chamber on every topic, it is paradoxical that every situation is used to exploit.' No-one from the organisers or Venice town hall who cover the local police budget was immediately available for comment.
