Princess Andre thought she'd be KILLED during 2018 carjacking - as she watched in horror while mum Katie Price was 'touched up' and made heart-wrenching plea to attackers
The 18-year-old star addresses the horrific ordeal during the second episode of her fly-on-the-wall ITV reality show, The Princess Diaries.
Former glamour model Katie, 47, was filming her own show in South Africa in 2018 when the carjacking took place.
Six men had held Katie and her children at gunpoint and now Princess has revealed how she was almost kidnapped.
Speaking about the incident, which took place when she was just 10, Princess says the men had demanded that Price handed her children over to them.
Princess recounted: 'I just remember the noise, oh my God it was disgusting. This guy, who had a baseball bat and he started smashing the window.
'I looked out the window and I remember it not feeling real, and the guy was just staring into my soul. Then they were like "we've got guns, we're going to shoot you".'
The upcoming influencer continued: 'My mum... the guys were like touching up my mum which is disgusting and she was like "just F-off my kids, don't touch my kids".
'I think they wanted me because of my blonde hair and blue eyes cause they said "give me your kids". Imagine hearing that at like 10 years old.
'After the hijack happened, the police said it was a miracle that we survived. It is the scariest thing I have ever been put through. In that moment I genuinely thought I was going to get kidnapped and die.'
Speaking to her brother while on a trip in Ibiza, Princess told him: 'A lot of those traumas are still there, so I think it's something you have to learn to just, like, deal with.'
In a documentary back in 2022, Katie revealed she was raped during the carjacking, with the tragic events leading to her breakdown.
Meanwhile, during the first episode of The Princess Diaries, the teenager revealed she 'saw things kids shouldn't' during her childhood - and is still recovering from her mother's 'dark times'.
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'.
Speaking to her brother while on a trip in Ibiza, Princess told him: 'A lot of those traumas are still there, so I think it's something you have to learn to just, like, deal with'
She explained: '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.'
Also in the first episode of the show, horrified dad Peter Andre reacted to some of the 'disgusting' messages his 18-year-old daughter 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.
Last Friday, Princess hit back at claims she's embroiled in a family feud with her famous mother Katie.
The former glamour model said she was 'upset' after alleging she was banned from filming scenes for the series, which follows a string of recent events, including her daughter's 18th birthday party, where Katie says she was also not welcome.
But speaking exclusively to the Daily Mail, Princess explained any fallout from Katie's outburst at not being involved in her TV debut will be dealt with behind closed doors, as she insisted: 'It's my show, it's not based on my parents, it's focused on me. To be honest there's no rift between me and either of my parents.'
Later in the series, viewers will see Princess celebrate turning 18 on her show and although Katie wasn't at the party, thrown by her father Peter, the teen stands firm that her mother was never banned from attending.
She said: 'What I would usually do, as I've done my whole life, would be to spend the morning with one parent and the evening with the other.
'As it happened, mum ended up being away, and dad had already decided to throw me a last minute birthday party, which we filmed for the show.
'But anyhow, it would be weird if both parents were in the same room, as I'm sure a lot of people out there with divorced parents can relate to.'
Katie expressed her frustrations at being 'disrespected' and 'disregarded', saying she longed to be by her daughter's side as she follows in the footsteps of her famous reality TV parents and bids to take over their crown.

Katie Price's ex Kieran issues public apology to Princess saying walking away from family was the ‘hardest thing'
KATIE Price's ex Kieran has issued a heartfelt public apology to their daughter Princess - admitting walking away from the family was the 'hardest thing he's had to do.' Kieran Hayler has publicly apologised to his former stepdaughter Princess Andre after she opened up about her unhappy childhood. 5 5 The 38-year-old personal trainer told the Daily Mail he was deeply saddened by Princess, 18, revealing how tough things got after Katie's marriage to Kieran fell apart following his cheating scandals with multiple women. On her new ITV2 show The Princess Diaries, Princess recalled watching her mum Katie, 47, go through dark times — heartbreak, drug battles, PTSD, and even a suicide attempt — all triggered by the messy split. She said: "He was in our lives for five years, so we got really close to him, obviously we loved him, he did a lot of stuff and when they split up everything went downhill. "My mum was obviously heartbroken, she didn't deal with that the best way, she went through a very, very dark time which was understandable." Now Kieran has admitted he 'regrets' cheating on Katie — with her former best mate Jane Pountney and their ex-nanny Nikki Brown. He revealed it became impossible to shield Junior, 20, and Princess — whose dad is singer Peter Andre — from the fallout. Leaving the family home where he'd lived with the kids for five years was 'one of the hardest things I ever had to do,' he said, adding he's 'deeply sorry' for letting them down. He said: "It makes me feel so sad. I am as sorry as I can be to Princess witnessing us go through such a horrible separation. Leaving them was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. "I would love to apologise and really know how she felt during that time when mine and Kate's marriage broke down." Kieran confessed he's been watching Princess's ITV2 show and wants to reach out. EXC Princess and Junior Andre reveal deal-breaker demand for I'm A Celeb and why they don't care about 'nepo-baby' label He said he thinks he was the "best stepfather that I could have been," but he admits the bonds with his stepchildren have faded over time. He added: "Life moves on and you no longer play a role in their lives anymore." But he saw Princess at a celebrity event in December and said: "We spoke to each other, I gave her a cuddle, and I would be exactly the same with Junior. Nothing ended badly between me and the children." Katie and Kieran tied the knot in January 2013, but their marriage only lasted five turbulent years before their divorce was finalised in March 2021. Katie Price's relationship history We take a look back at the highs and lows of Katie Price's relationship history. 1996-1998: Katie got engaged to Gladiators star Warren Furman - aka Ace - with a £3,000 ring. But their relationship didn't make it as far as 'I do'. 1998-2000: Katie described Dane Bowers as 'the love of her life' but she broke up with the singer when he allegedly cheated on her. 2001: Footballer Dwight Yorke is the father of Katie's eldest child Harvey. He has had very little to do with Harvey throughout his life. 2002: Rebounding from Dwight, Katie famously had one night of passion with Pop Idol star Gareth Gates, allegedly taking his virginity. 2002-2004: Katie was dating Scott Sullivan when she entered the jungle for I'm A Me Out Of Here!. He threatened to "punch Peter's lights out" when chemistry blossomed between her and Peter Andre. 2004-2009: The jungle romance resulted in Katie marrying Aussie pop star Peter. They had two kids, Junior and Princess, before their bitter split in 2009. 2010-2011: Fresh from her break-up with Peter, Katie enjoyed a whirlwind relationship and marriage with cage fighter Alex Reid. They split 20 months after their Las Vegas wedding. 2011: Katie briefly dated model Danny Cipriani... but it ended as quickly as it begun. 2011-2012: They didn't speak the same language, but Katie got engaged to Argentinian model Leandro Penna in 2011. He later fled home to South America. 2012-2018: Wedding bells rang once more after Katie met Kieran Hayler in 2013. They had two kids together, Jett and Bunny, before their break-up and divorce. 2018-2019: Katie moved on quickly with Kris Boyson. They had an on-off romance for one year and even got engaged. They split for good in 2019. 2019: Katie was linked to Charles Drury during her on-off relationship with Kris. Charles, who also dated Lauren Goodger, has always denied being in "official relationship" with her. 2020-2023: Car salesman Carl Woods took a shining to Katie in 2020. Their relationship was up and down for three years. They broke up for a final time last year. 2024-present: After weeks of rumours, Katie confirmed her relationship with Married At First Sight star JJ Slater in February this year. Katie and Kieran met over online chat service Blackberry Messenger in November 2012, and just two months later they tied the knot in the Bahamas, after Kieran proposed on Christmas Day 2012. It was Katie's third marriage, after cage fighter Alex Reid and singer Peter Andre. Kieran cheated on Katie with two of her friends. As well as having an affair with her pal of 20 years, Jane Pountney, Kieran was also seeing her friend Chrissy Thomas, 41. Kieran later admitted that he had 25 secret trysts with Jane over the course of seven months and also confessed to his other affair during a lie detector test. Heartbroken Katie discovered cheating husband Kieran Hayler had sex with their nanny all over the house — even romping in their children's bathroom. The estranged couple were in the process of getting a divorce, and as of 2019 it was finalised. Kieran then started dating Michelle Penticost in 2018, after meeting at the primary school their children attended. Their relationship quickly blossomed and Kieran popped the question in 2020 on a luxury holiday in the Maldives. But they split in February - after seven years together. A representative for Kieran said: "The couple separated on good terms and remain close with their focus first on their son Apollo." Kieran is now attempting to rebuild his life following his divorce and split from Michelle by attending regular therapy sessions. 5 5 5
