She was unveiled last year as the face of their affordable cosmetics line, Studio London and is set to work with them for another 12 months.
An insider revealed: 'Princess has been a huge hit with Superdrug and they couldn't wait to snap her up again.
'She has such wide appeal and has already shown just how much she can do for the brand.'
Princess is however also planning her own takeover of the beauty market and has plans to launch her very own brand, which she is hoping to reveal next year.
The insider added: 'Princess loves everything to do with make-up and people love her 'get ready with me' videos.
'It's very savvy of the teen to launch her own line, she knows everyone always wants to know what she's using, so why not make her own?'
Princess has had a very successful year so far, which has included landing her own reality show and passing her driving test, before splashing out on a brand new Audi A1.
She has vowed to be a millionaire before she turns 20 and she's well on her way.
As well as working with Superdrug, she is also an ambassador for online retailer PrettyLittleThing, and has launched her own jewellery range.
She previously said: 'I want to achieve so many things and be my own person.
Katie Price's daughter Princess Andre, 17, hits back as she's trolled for 'always being on holiday'
"It's about taking my time, figuring it out as I go. I know I want to be very successful.
'I'm going into an industry I really enjoy. This is something I want to do.'

Bday girl Meg has NOTHING to celebrate – everything has flopped, kids will resent her & Harry's a cash cow, expert slams
Meghan's multiple business ventures are an attempt to fund the Sussexes' lavish lifestyles, an expert claimed 'SHE'S DEPRESSING!' Bday girl Meg has NOTHING to celebrate – everything has flopped, kids will resent her & Harry's a cash cow, expert slams DESPITE Meghan Markle's numerous attempts at various ventures, she's had a "depressing" year, a royal expert has slammed. The Duchess of Sussex celebrated her 40th birthday by launching a project to help women back into work after the pandemic. 16 Hugo Vickers alleged everything the Duchess touches flops Credit: Instagram 16 A royal expert claimed Meghan Markle has had a depressing year Credit: Splash Instead of a similar campaign this year, she's marking her 44th by releasing yet more As Ever products. Mum-of-two Meghan sent out a newsletter last week boasting that her Napa Valley Rosé was crowned "The IT drink for summer". She added: "We are pleased to share that our 2024 Napa Valley Rosé will be available for purchase next week." It is the latest in a long line of releases for her new brand - which experts say "is not working very well". Royal expert Hugo Vickers told The Sun: "It is Meghan Markle's birthday, and as she looks back over the past year I can imagine she's pretty depressed. "She's started off a lot of things and none of them have come to any great fruition. "Full marks to her for fully reinventing herself and coming up with new ideas, but it's not working very well." AS EVER When Meghan first announced her As Ever brand, it was embroiled in row after row over the trademark and logo. 16 She flogged a range of products including £11 jars of jam 16 Meghan decided to 'just pause' restocking her As Ever brand after previously selling out in under an hour Credit: NETFLIX This year it seems she's gone full throttle with her merchandise, with drop after drop being flaunted on her Instagram with carefully curated photos in gardens. For her first crop of items, she flogged a range of products from £11 jars of jam to £22 limited edition honey. Within half-an-hour the range was out of stock, prompting Meghan to post on Instagram: "Our shelves may be empty, but my heart is full!" Fans snapped up the £11 raspberry preserve, which is marketed as a "luscious fruit-forward spread" in "elegant keepsake packaging". But a source said: "This is simply a marketing ploy. "You make a relatively small amount available so it all gets bought and then you can say it's so popular it sold out." She later opened up about how her As Ever brand has 'overwhelmed her' and she's had nights starting up until 3am worrying about the business. Meghan sent her jams to a number of celebrities who shared unboxing videos, including Kris Jenner and Zoe Saldaña. She then decided to "just pause" restocking her As Ever brand after previously selling out in under an hour. The Duchess of Sussex said she wants to wait until it is "completely stable and we have everything we need" as to not annoy customers. But not long after this, she announced another drop of new As Ever items was incoming. Hugo Vickers added: "I don't think she's been at all successful quite honestly. "Very soon her children will grow up and I imagine they will be quite resentful at the way in which they've been used. She is using them as part of her marketing campaign. "Prince Harry always invariably seems to pop up at the end to give credence to her to show that he's on side with her, it's all rather depressing. "I've got no idea what's next but you can be fairly certain she'll come up with something. "Maybe one of the things she does will catch on." THE SCRAPPED NETFLIX DEAL Prince Harry and wife Meghan's £100million deal with Netflix has been scrapped. 16 Harry and Meghan made digs at the Royal Family in their 2022 docuseries Credit: NETFLIX 16 Harry is well known for his love of polo but didn't appear in his documentary about the sport Credit: Getty The streamer will not renew their contract when it expires in September. The Sussexes and Netflix have mutually decided not to make an official announcement. But streaming execs have quietly agreed to part ways. It comes after Harry's vanity project, Polo, about the sport, was watched by just 500,000 people. It was also understood that bosses were mildly infuriated by Meghan making her As Ever brand a priority. Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos is believed to remain on good terms with Meghan. It came after it was announced Netflix had signed a deal with King Charles and Idris Elba for a documentary exploring the impact of the King's Trust. And it was understood any deal with the Sussexes could be seen as a hindrance to that link-up. Lifestyle and cookery show With Love, Meghan only ranked at number 383 in Netflix's six-monthly engagement report this year, with just 5.3million viewers across the globe. Described by one critic as an 'exercise in narcissism', it was beaten by reruns of the first four seasons of legal drama Suits, which also starred the Duchess in her pre-royal days. In truth, the show is a smash hit compared to her husband's vanity docuseries Polo, blasted as 'a dull indulgence about a rich person's pursuit'. In the first six months of the year the programme attracted a disastrous 500,000 views globally, ranking it at number 3,442 out of around 7,000 shows. Mr Vickers commented: "We were told there will be a second series but presumably that's because they've already filmed it and Netflix would like their money back. "I suspect their contracts won't be renewed and this is a great worry for them. They lead quite an expensive lifestyle, and that needs to be financed by a lot of money coming in all the time. "Security will be expensive, the house, the staff, the legal costs. I have a feeling it's not going so well." FEMALE FOUNDER PODCAST When Meg released the first episode of her podcast - Confessions of a Female Founder - it was criticised for offering NO substance. 16 Royal experts and commentators have questioned the purpose of Meghan's podcast Credit: Meghan, Duchess of Sussex/Instagram 16 Mr Ede dubbed it more of a 'PR spin' than a proper brand Credit: Lemonada She kicked off the series with an episode titled The Evolution of an Entrepreneur, featuring Bumble founder Whitney Wolfe Herd, 35. However, royal experts and commentators have questioned the purpose of Meghan's podcast, accusing her of not putting much effort into it. Speaking on The Sun's Royal Exclusive show, writer and broadcaster Esther Krakue and Newsweek's chief royal correspondent Jack Royston shared their thoughts on the podcast. Jack referenced a remark made by Whitney about Bumble's share price hitting its lowest point, saying: 'I looked up the share price for Bumble, and it looked like a cryptocurrency pump-and-dump scheme. 'It was trading at $75 a share in 2021, and it's now $4 a share. So, in other words, if you invested $75,000, you would have $4,000 right now. 'So the fact that Meghan didn't ask any follow-up questions, like what is that?' He questioned why Meghan didn't explore the topic further for her listeners, wondering if it could have been 'a cautionary tale about how not to run a company." He also questioned whether there was a learning point for the listeners on if we should or shouldn't be caring about share prices. Jack continued: 'There is so much to unpack from a business point of view. He also criticised the podcast for having 'nothing to do with how to build a business.' In a later episode, the Duchess of Sussex sat down with Tina Knowles. But marketing expert Nick Ede told The Sun how chats with famous celebs won't be enough to save her brand. This comes as the Duchess decided to "just pause" restocking As Ever - after previously selling out in under an hour. Meg said she wants to wait until it is "completely stable and we have everything we need" as to not annoy customers. Mr Ede said: "Meghan obviously is trying really hard to establish herself in a big way, and associating herself with other female founders, was kind of a good idea, because it went well with the As Ever brand, and how that was developing. "But the issue is that actually the As Ever brand hasn't really gone particularly far, so she can't really say that she's a particularly great female founder. "And so when she's been interviewing some of these brilliant people like Sarah Blakely, for instance, who who came up with Spanx and was one of the first youngest billionaires in the world, that's somebody who's actually aspirational, somebody who's worked really hard and created a product which is sold around the world and recognized around the world. "And unfortunately, as ever isn't." Mr Ede dubbed it more of a "PR spin" than a proper brand. THE SUSSEXES' SEPARATE LIVES Meg and Prince Harry are 'going their own ways' as they increasingly live 'separate lives', royal experts told The Sun. 16 Royal experts continue to claim the couple are leading increasingly separate lives Credit: Getty 16 Harry has been going on more solo trips amid Meghan's business ventures Credit: Getty Speaking on our Royal Exclusive Live show, Arthur Edwards and Jennie Bond lifted the lid on the power couple's recent time apart. Sun legend Arthur revealed how the pair are 'doing things separately now' after failing to be spotted together in three weeks. Meanwhile Ms Bond, a royal correspondent for the last 35 years, also revealed: "Meghan is not popular. She doesn't want to come back and they are going their own ways, to some extent". The pair spoke on our first Royal Exclusive Live show, which you can watch in the player above and on our YouTube channel. The event was hosted in front of a live audience of more than 100 special guests. Mr Edwards said: 'I don't think she [Meghan] can come here much. 'I don't think people think too much of her. 'I think she's struggling in popularity in the UK and I think they seem to be doing things separately now. She's got her programme and he's got his. Mr Edwards added: 'He comes into Britain now with no fuss." This comes after it was revealed Harry spent the night of his milestone 40th birthday without Meghan as rumours continue to swirl. The duke went on a hiking trip with pals to celebrate his big day - and failed to mention his wife, 43, in his birthday thanks message. Although sources close to the couple insist it was Meghan who organised the lads' trip, experts warned it could be a key sign things are not so rosy. Their separate plans, followed by Harry's solo trips across the past few weeks, has sparked speculation surrounding their relationship. WITH LOVE, MEGHAN According to Netflix, With Love, Meghan offered a fresh take on the lifestyle genre, blending practical food tips with candid conversations. 16 Harsh viewers left scathing criticism Credit: JAKE ROSENBERG/NETFLIX 16 The series featured eight 33-minute episodes Credit: BackGrid However, viewers branded it the "fakest stuff ever". Across eight 33-minute episodes the mum-of-two made cringe jokes about her bacon, shared recipes with pals, learnt from celeb chefs and even became emotional over bees. But less than an hour after the release, harsh viewers already left scathing criticism. One penned on X: "I'm not even 30 seconds into the first episode and I already know that With Love, Meghan is the FAKESTEST stuff ever." Another added: "Six minutes of with love Meghan... ok only for richest bye bye." "All of Meghan Markle's 'recipes' can be found on Pinterest," claimed someone else. But others were loving the series, with a fan posting: "I'm watching With Love, Meghan and it's delightful. I will never understand the people whose entire personalities are hating her. It's sickening." In the second episode, Meghan welcomes US Office star Mindy Kaling who says: "People wouldn't believe that Meghan Markle ate at Jack in the Box." Meghan fires back with: "It's so funny, too, that you keep saying Meghan Markle. You know I'm Sussex now.' Royal expert Mr Vickers added: "She wants to be this wonderful, sweet-natured figure in the kitchen chopping up the would have been more effective if she hadn't given that awful Oprah interview in which she was so vindictive." 'BURNING' BATH SALTS In May, a fan threatened a £7million lawsuit after claiming the Duchess' bath salt recipe left her with "catastrophic burns". 16 Meg made the recipe for pal Daniel Marin on Episode 1 of the show Credit: Netflix In a letter to Robin Patrick, who is a diabetic, Meghan's lawyer Cameron Stracher said she should have been aware of the risks associated with the mixture. The Royal fan, from Maryland, had tried the recipe after seeing it in Meghan's Netfflix show, With Love, Meghan. Speaking to she later claimed she experienced "intense burning" and "ulcers" after using the salts - and was still feeling the effects. The recipe - which Meg, 43, made for pal Daniel Marin on Episode 1 of the show - contains Epsom salts, Himalayan salt, arnica oil, and lavender oil. But Epsom salts are not recommended for those suffering from diabetes - as they can lead to skin drying and cracking. Often, diabetics already have dry feet or nerve damage on their legs and feet, according to MedicalNewsToday - so further irritation risks causing wounds or infections, which are likely to heal more slowly in those with high blood sugar. Robin, however, has threatened to sue both production companies behind the show - Intellectual Property Corporation (IPC) and Archewell Productions - as well as Netflix and Meghan herself for $10 million (£7million) in damages. In a letter on behalf on IPC, seen by The Independent, Cameron said the company regretted to hear of any injuries Robin "may have suffered". However, he asserted that none of the parties responsible for the series owed her a duty of care "because you do not have a special relationship with any of them as a matter of law". 'USING' ARCHIE AND LILIBET FOR PROMO In March, the Duchess of Sussex was accused of exploiting her two young kids as part of her money-making ventures. 16 Meg shared this image of her children clinging to her in the garden 16 The couple with their children Archie and Lilibet in the Netflix show Credit: Netflix 16 Meghan captioned this Instagram image 'Every day is a love story' Credit: Nrtflix Meghan posted from her As Ever brand a rare snap with Archie, five, and Lilibet, three, also tagging herself. Meghan launched an online venture shortly after posting a rare photo of herself with her two children, guaranteeing huge amounts of traffic. One expert called it 'tacky and desperate'. Royal author and journalist Phil Dampier said: 'Nothing happens by accident and she would have thought this through and knows putting a photo of her children out at the same time as her clothing line would get maximum publicity. 'It begs the question whether Meghan is exploiting her two children who remain in the line of succession. I'd expect the Palace to take a dim view of this.' The Duchess posted the snap of herself with Archie, five, and three-year-old Lilibet on the Instagram account of her As Ever brand, tagging herself in. She added a dove emoji and wrote: 'Every day is a love story.' Meghan has 2.6million on her personal account, while As Ever has around 734,000. Royal expert Mr Vickers commented: "Who is the real Meghan Markle? Her big problem is that she's gone down the celebrity route. "As a celebrity, you have to keep putting yourself out there in the public arena and reinventing new ideas. "She's very successful at getting people to take an interest in every single thing she does, but there seems to be an awful lot of them and nothing ever seems to follow through. "It stops and becomes something different, re-marketed, renamed."

‘Children are entering a hellscape': the terrifying film about grieving parents taking on social media giants
In 2020, Amy Neville found her 14-year-old son Alexander dead in his bedroom. He had taken what he thought was an oxycodone pill, bought – according to Neville – from a drug dealer he met on Snapchat. The pill was a fake, laced with fentanyl. Four years later, his mum stood up in the California high school where Alex would have been a student to warn other parents and teenagers about social media. 'We give our kids these smartphones. We let them have these apps. And that is the equivalent of dropping them off in the worst neighbourhood in our area.' Neville is featured alongside other bereaved parents in Can't Look Away, a terrifying new documentary about kids and social media directed by Matthew O'Neill and Perri Peltz, based on extensive investigative reporting by Bloomberg News journalist Olivia Carville. It follows American families who are filing lawsuits against social media companies and campaigning for stricter legislation; they are represented by the Social Media Victims Law Center, a crusading legal firm run Matthew Bergman, a lawyer so charismatic he could probably play himself in a Hollywood movie. The conversation around teenagers and social media has evolved beyond kids using their phones at the table. In his 2024 bestseller The Anxious Generation, Jonathan Haidt warned of the links between young people's mental health and smartphones. Last month, the technology secretary Peter Kyle apologised for the delay in legislation to keep children safe online. Australia plans to ban social media for under 16s from December. In Can't Look Away, the agony on parents' faces as they tell their stories, and relive the trauma, is hard to watch. Toney and Brandy Roberts filed a lawsuit against Meta over the death of their 14-year-old daughter Englyn in 2020; she killed herself after watching a video of a mock-hanging on Instagram. 'The social media companies know that our children are so vulnerable,' Brandy tells the camera. 'I feel that the only way that they're going to be forced to change is through a lawsuit. So that's why we're joining this fight.' When I talk to the film's directors before Can't Look Away's UK premiere, they do not mince their words. O'Neill says he previously had no idea how extreme the content that children are exposed to on social media is. 'It's so much more than just addiction, or screen time, or wasting time. What young people see is so different because of the algorithms. What they're being fed, what they can't look away from, this is not what they're searching for. Children are essentially entering into a hellscape that adults don't know about.' Algorithms decide what you see on social media, based in part on what you have previously liked or commented on, and how much time you've spent on other posts. If you linger on a piece of content, the algorithm will feed you more of the same. What that means is that teenagers don't have to actively search for harmful material for it to appear in their feed. A 13-year-old girl might look for healthy eating advice and end up down a rabbit hole of pro-anorexia content. 'It can very quickly turn very dark,' says O'Neill. Mason Edens was 16 when he broke up with his girlfriend; normal teenage stuff his mum Jennie DeSerio thought. In his heartache, Mason turned to TikTok, searching for phrases such as: 'My girlfriend broke up with me.' In the film, his mum plays one of the depressing videos that ended up in his feed. It shows a gun in a hand, then an image of blood splatter and the words: 'My hand. My head.' Mason killed himself in November 2022. Jennie doesn't believe that he'd ever searched for the term 'suicide' on TikTok. O'Neill says he was shocked by Mason's feed: 'This is not someone crying. It's not just sad music. It is an image of a gun going into a hand with the exhortation to blow your effing head off. That is not content that a product should be feeding to a child. I think we could all broadly agree on that as a society.' Is it possible, I ask, for the social media companies to filter out harmful content? 'If Meta knows what I want to buy before I buy it, there's no way they can't figure out how to make sure children aren't fed content that demonstrates how to die by suicide.' After screenings of Can't Look Away, the film-makers often ask the kids in the audience if they have ever watched a suicide on social media. 'Almost all the hands go up,' says co-director Peltz. In America, 95% of 13 to 17-year-olds use social media. In 2022, social media companies made an estimated $11bn from advertising directed to under 18s in the US. The longer kids are glued to it, the more billions the companies make, which means there is a huge incentive to design sticky algorithms, says Peltz. 'Why are they feeding children material that they can't look away from? Because it keeps children on their sites for as long as possible. And we know from whistleblowers that that is a business plan. This is not an accident. They are prioritising time on screen over safety.' The film features interviews with such whistleblowers, who say companies have been warned that their products harm children. Arturo Béjar held senior positions at Facebook and Instagram, and became increasingly alarmed by their parent company Meta's own research. In one poll, one in eight 13 to 15-year-olds said they had received an unwanted sexual advance on Instagram in the past week. Béjar emailed his concerns to Mark Zuckerberg, Sheryl Sandberg and other top executives. He says he never received a reply. Can't Look Away tells the heart-breaking story of Jordan DeMay, a popular, outgoing 17-year-old from Michigan who killed himself after being blackmailed in a sextortion scam. In March 2022, he received a message on Instagram from someone he thought was a girl his own age. After some flirting, Jordan sent her nude photographs. Immediately, the threats started: send money or we'll share the photos with your friends and family. Less than six hours after the first of these messages, Jordan was dead. Sextortion is one of the fastest growing cybercrimes. Peltz is keen to share with parents the advice she has picked up from several professionals about how to protect children. 'Talk to your child. Tell them, 'If this ever happens to you, do not be afraid to come to us.' It's very specific advice that can make a major difference.' Can't Look Away ends with some real-life courtroom drama in Los Angeles. Amy Neville, the woman whose son took the fake oxycodone pill, is the lead plaintiff in a case against Snapchat by parents whose children died or were injured after allegedly buying fentanyl-laced drugs. Their lawsuit claims that Snapchat's design makes it an ideal marketplace to sell illegal drugs, with its disappearing messages that make it difficult for police to trace illegal activity. Another feature is Quick Add, which suggests other users to add. Laura Marquez-Garrett is a lawyer at the Social Media Victims Law Center and explains how it works. '[A dealer will] just find one high school kid in your area. You add them, and then you add all their friends, and then you add their friends.' In a courtroom showdown, Snap Inc's defence relies on a piece of US legislation drafted before Zuckerberg hit puberty. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 has for years acted as a shield (or a get-out-of-jail card, depending on your perspective) protecting social media companies from liability for user-generated content posted on their platforms. In court, Snap Inc's attorney describes the platform as a tech-service provider, like a phone company. You wouldn't sue a phone company if a drug deal was made over the phone. The back-and-forth between the lawyers and the judge is a gripping intellectual tennis match. Peltz tells me that parents often feel powerless. 'But this is not a blame-the-parents situation. Companies need to make the changes so that these sites are responsible and are safe for children to be on. Parents can't be expected to keep up with their children when it comes to digital advances. It's time for these companies to stop blaming parents.' As for teenagers, people can be judgmental, she says. 'I think it's human nature to say, 'Well my child wouldn't buy drugs online.' Or, 'My child couldn't be sextorted.' The answer is that we can all hope that our children won't do things like that. But children are children. We all know about the frontal cortex, that it doesn't get fully developed until your 20s. Children make mistakes. They should be allowed to make mistakes and not have to die as a result.'

Katie Price in another pet tragedy as kitten dies after birth
Katie's cat Doris gave birth but one of her kittens didn't make it. Katie Price has opened up on social media about her latest pet tragedy. The sad news comes after the 47-year-old told her fans that her pet sphynx cat was pregnant. Sadly, Katie's cat Doris gave birth to "so many" kittens but one of them passed away. Katie was previously blasted by animal charities for welcoming three of the bald cats to her home in October last year, writes The Mirror. Speaking to her Snapchat followers, the former glamour model explained that she decided to skip a family trip to the Isle of Wight to look after the new kittens. Katie went on to say that she was keeping regular feeding patterns and using electric blankets. However, elsewhere in the cat update, the mum-of-five said she had "sad news" and added four emotional emojis. She explained: "An update on the kittens, one unfortunately died. That's the one wrapped in tissue, two hours after we fed it. "Luckily, I'm trying to help the kittens latch on to the mum; two are just about doing it, but I'm having to put them on it, because they are so premature." She went on: "As you can see how knackered I am, every two and a half hours through the day and through the night I'm feeding them for the mum. "She's a good mum, and then she keeps bringing one to the bed with her; she did that earlier. I think that was a sign to come and look in the box, as one had died." Katie then added that she thinks Doris trusts the family's actions. "So I've got two latching on to her now, so thats the update." After panning the camera around to Doris, Katie is heard cooing: "Hey Doris good girl." Just days earlier, on her podcast, Katie had told her sister Sophie that she was "scared" of what might happen during her pet's pregnancy. She said: "Doris is pregnant, and I don't know how many weeks she is but her belly has gotten bigger and bigger. I've noticed she's been nesting and she keeps wanting to get on me. "I've gone and bought a separate cat litter, another bed, and all of that. I'm going to set it up in my room and leave her in my room because I've got the other cats, and I'm scared that if she goes into labour they might eat the kittens." She later said: "I don't know how many she's going to have but I know the kids want me to keep one. And then I know what I'm like, I can't." Katie had previously been criticised by Peta, with Elisa Allen of the organisation claiming the star has repeatedly ignored advice on pet care. She said: 'Anyone who warns Katie not to hurt the animals she takes in might as well be screaming into the wind, for all she seems to care." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!
