For most of her life, Princess Andre has been smiling in the spotlight â the golden-haired daughter of two of Britainâs most famous faces, Katie Price and Peter Andre. But now, at just 18, the teenager has spoken out in a way no one expected â and her words have left the nation stunned’
âSometimes it feels like Iâm the message they send to each other,â Princess admitted quietly. âLike theyâre using me to hurt each other â and Iâm the one who ends up bleeding.â
Her voice trembled as she revealed how years of tension between her estranged parents have taken a toll on her own sense of peace and identity.
đïžÂ A Childhood in the Crossfire
Princess was only two years old when her parentsâ fairytale romance collapsed in 2009. What followed was more than a divorce â it became one of the most public, drawn-out separations in British celebrity history.
While both Peter and Katie have repeatedly said they love their children more than anything, their long-running feud has often spilled into the public eye. Legal disputes, media spats, and conflicting interviews have turned what should have been private pain into tabloid spectacle.
Now, Princess says the emotional fallout has never truly faded.
âI love both of them,â she said. âBut there were years when I felt like I couldnât say anything without it being twisted â when I stayed with Mum, Dad would think I was taking sides. When I stayed with Dad, Mum would feel left out. I was just a kid, but it always felt like a test.â
đŹÂ âThey See Me as Proof â Not a Personâ
In her recent interview for a youth mental-health podcast, Princess explained that being the daughter of two household names hasnât always felt glamorous.
âPeople think being famous means your life is perfect,â she said. âBut behind closed doors, you can feel like a trophy being passed around. They donât do it on purpose â theyâre just still angry at each other, even after all these years.â
Her confession struck a chord with listeners, who praised her courage for speaking up about the emotional impact of parental conflict.
âWhen Mum and Dad argue through the media, itâs like they forget thereâs a real person reading it â their daughter. I wish theyâd just stop using me to make a point.â
â€ïžÂ Between Two Homes â and Two Worlds
Princess splits her time between her fatherâs orderly Surrey home and her motherâs lively household in Sussex. She describes the contrast as âtwo completely different worlds.â
âDadâs place feels calm â he likes structure, routines, quiet nights. Mumâs house is chaos and laughter and dogs barking at midnight. Theyâre both amazing in their own way, but Iâve learned to adjust every time I switch houses.â
But constant change has left its mark.
âSometimes I donât know who I am â the girl in Dadâs quiet world or the one in Mumâs whirlwind. Maybe Iâm both.â
Her words reveal a level of self-awareness beyond her years â and a maturity that fans say neither parent has ever quite given her credit for.
đ A Silent Plea
Despite her calm delivery, Princessâs sadness was unmistakable. She said her greatest wish is for peace â not perfection.
âI donât need them to be friends,â she said softly. âI just need them to stop using me to prove whoâs the better parent. Iâm not a headline. Iâm their daughter.â
She also admitted that her growing independence â modelling, social media work, and appearing in family-focused TV shows â has only intensified the scrutiny.
âEvery photo I post, people say, âOh, she looks like her dad today,â or, âSheâs acting like her mum.â Iâm not trying to be either of them. I just want to be Princess.â
đč A Message for Other Kids
In a powerful closing message, Princess turned her pain into advice for other young people dealing with family conflict.
âIf your parents are arguing, remember itâs not your job to fix it. You didnât cause it â and you donât have to carry it. Youâre allowed to love them both.â
She also revealed that she has started therapy to manage anxiety and to âfind her own voice outside the family drama.â
âItâs helping me separate their story from mine. Because for too long, people have told my story for me â and now, Iâm taking it back.â
đ«Â The Girl Who Grew Up Under the Flashbulbs
As Princess Andre steps into adulthood, sheâs proving that sheâs more than just her parentsâ child. Sheâs a young woman brave enough to confront the pain behind the glamour â and to speak the truth, even when it hurts.
And for the first time, she says she feels lighter.
âI canât control what they do,â she smiled softly. âBut I can control how I move forward. Iâm not their weapon anymore. Iâm just me.â
