Katie Price has shared a quote about parenthood following the launch of her daughter Princess Andre’s reality TV show, which she had previously said that she wouldn’t watch
A post about motherhood has been shared by Katie Price this week amid speculation over her relationship with her eldest daughter Princess Andre. It comes following the launch of the Princess Diaries over the weekend.
Katie, 47, has claimed she wasn’t allowed to appear in the ITV show, which follows Princess, 18, who’s the youngest of her two children with her ex-husband Peter Andre, 52. She’s also criticised the teenager’s management for not “allowing” her to guide her daughter in her career.
She’s since shared posts about parenthood, with one promoted by her on social media earlier today. It comes after Princess Andre says she’s ‘independent’ from her parents as she breaks silence on the controversy.

Katie shared a post about being a mother, which had been uploaded by the page INEX Digital Wealth on Instagram, with her followers on the platform this afternoon. It appeared to be titled: “Your mom is not your enemy.”
It read: “She may not always say things the way you want to hear them, but her heart is always in the right place. She’s the one who worries when you’re hurting, prays when you’re lost, and stands by you even when the world doesn’t.”
The post shared by Katie concluded: “She’s not trying to control you. She’s trying to protect you. She may not be perfect, but she’s the only woman in this world who truly wants what’s best for you, even if it costs her everything.”
Princess is the third eldest of Katie’s five children. Her family also includes Junior Andre, 20, who is the eldest of her two kids with Peter, and eldest son Harvey Price, 23.
It comes after the Princess Diaries launched last night. Katie had previously said that she wouldn’t be watching it and expressed her disappointment over her apparent lack of involvement with her eldest daughter’s career to date.
As previously reported, she said on an episode of the Katie Price Show podcast that she had offered to take part in the reality TV show ‘for free’ but was turned down. Katie said she’s “very upset” that Princess’ career is being managed by her ex-husband Peter’s management, the CAN Group, who she alleged consider Katie to be “trash”.
Katie said on the podcast: “Princess is taking that same path [as I did in my career] – trying to do the same as what I’ve done – which I absolutely love and adore of Princess but I have not been allowed to go on any photoshoot, no signings or Superdrug openings or anything like that. Why? Because I’m not allowed and I’m not welcome.”
And dismissing rumours of a rift between the mother and daughter, Katie said: “Me and Princess have never, ever, ever had an argument to this day or a disagreement. We get on like best friends, mother and daughter. Princess lives with me and she stays at her dad’s. Now, she’s been staying at her dad’s the past two months because she’s been filming her show. And our personal life together is amazing.”
As reported last night, Princess spoke about her mother in the first episode of her show and said that she’s like a “best friend”. She’s quoted as having said in a scene: “Me and my mum now, we’re so close. We’re like best friends.”
In a statement, Princess’ management later responded to Katie’s criticism. The CAN Group told the Mirror recently: “As a company, our duty of care to our clients is paramount. We would never advise a client on their personal life unless asked and we have never stopped anyone seeing their families.”
