Media personality and model Katie Price has claimed she was excluded from her daughter Princess Andre's 18th birthday celebrations in June 2025, sparking speculation of a rift between the pair. The milestone event, held in London and filmed for Princess' new ITV2 series The Princess Diaries, reportedly did not include her mother due to filming restrictions. Price, 46, alleged on her podcast that she was 'banned' from both the party and promotional events linked to the show, raising questions about their relationship dynamics.

Princess Andre, the daughter of Price and singer Peter Andre, has grown up in the public eye since her parents' high-profile relationship and subsequent divorce. Shared custody arrangements meant Princess spent time between both households, often appearing alongside her parents on television and social media. In recent years, she has begun building her own career as a model and TV personality, moving towards independent projects and branding.

The 18th Birthday Controversy

Princess celebrated her 18th birthday in June 2025 with a London party captured on camera for The Princess Diaries. According to Price, she was not invited to the event because filming rules for the series restricted her involvement. She also claimed she was excluded from other filming opportunities.

A report from The Sun, citing sources, suggested Princess had arranged to meet her mother in London on the morning of her birthday but that Price did not attend. This account has not been confirmed by either Princess or ITV.

The Princess Diaries premiered on ITV2 and ITVX on 10 August 2025. The series follows Princess as she navigates her modelling career, personal milestones, and family relationships. Notably, episodes two and three feature her Ibiza Fashion Festival runway debut. Price was absent from both the birthday episode and the Ibiza storyline, fuelling speculation about her level of involvement in her daughter's on-screen journey.

Katie Price's Side of the Story

Recently speaking on her podcast, Price expressed her frustration over being sidelined. She said she was 'very, very upset' and claimed she had offered to participate in the show without payment but was still refused, as reported by Entertainment Daily.

Price alleged that she was not welcome at shoots, public signings, or promotional events for the series. During Princess' birthday, Price travelled to Ibiza, a move she says was unrelated to any personal dispute but was due to her exclusion from the celebration.

Princess Andre's Response

Addressing media questions at a promotional event for The Princess Diaries, Princess said the series was 'not actually about any of my parents' and that her mother is 'featured in it'. She added that there were 'no bad vibes' between them. Her brother Junior Andre, who also appears in the series, echoed the sentiment, stating that the family remains on good terms despite public speculation.

Public and Media Speculation

UK tabloids have framed the situation as a potential clash over attention, with claims that Price attempted to 'steal the limelight' during Princess' Ibiza catwalk appearance. These allegations remain unverified and have not been addressed directly by Princess.

Online discussion has intensified around whether the tension stems from professional boundaries during filming or deeper personal issues, though both have publicly downplayed suggestions of a feud.
