Katie Price takes swipe at daughter Princess's driving – despite SIX road bans
KATIE Price has given her verdict on her daughter Princess' driving skills. Princess, 17, passed her test last month and splashed out on a brand new Audi A1 in white, which is likely to have set her back at least £10,000. 4 4 She has been making the most of her new found freedom - and even went to watch her mum perform on stage. But Katie - who has famously been banned from driving six times in the last ten years after a series of infringements - wasn't impressed with her lack of speed. Chatting to sister Sophie on her podcast The Katie Price Show, the mum-of-five explained: 'Oh,yeah. Princess came. She started following us and I'm like, Princess,I'm going to be late because she was going under the speed limit. 'Obviously, because she's new and it's the roads and it was raining and I didn't want to stress her out, so I gave her the postcode.I said 'look, we'll see you there'.' Sophie was keen to know more about her driving and if she was driving at night yet. Katie added: 'Yeah, she drives to see me. And then I met her at Westfields on Sunday because she goes away goes to lbiza.' When Princess first passed her test, Katie congratulated her writing: " So proud and so scared at the same time.' After revealing her new car, Princess was hit with criticism by fans, who believe it was actually mum and dad Katie and Peter Andre who actually forked out the cash for it. But Princess put that speculation to bed, hitting back at the comments and declaring: 'These comments are so funny. To everyone out there, yes I work and yes I earn my own money which I'm super proud of and so thankful that I'm lucky enough to buy my own car xx.' Becoming an influencer in her own right, Princess has already signed brand ambassador deals with high street beauty chain Superdrug and online retailer PrettyLittleThing, and has launched her own jewellery range. Katie Price's £10k facelift looks tighter than ever in new video as fans say 'that looks painful!' She's also vowed to be a millionaire by the time she turns 20. Her mum Katie was banned from driving for two years in December 2021 after crashing her BMW in a drink-driving smash in Horsham. She had been meant to get her licence back in later 2023, but it was delayed by almost another year. This was after Katie was charged in early 2024 with driving without insurance and a valid licence.
