The star opens up to The Sun’s Lottie Hulme about season two of her hit reality show, dating and her one condition for appearing on I’m A Celebrity.
PRINCESS Andre never expected that her ITV show, The Princess Diaries, would be streamed 93million times when it premiered in August of this year, instantly becoming one of ITV’s most successful shows to have ever launched.
But did the thought of millions of eyes on her every move make her nervous? No, in fact, quite the opposite, as the 18-year-old daughter of showbiz royalty Katie Price and Peter Andre admitted, she in fact loves being in front of the cameras, and can’t wait to feature on screen more. Now in the process of filming the second series, Princess spoke to me about what we can expect.
And what I was perhaps most surprised about during my chat with Princess was that she’s watched her show back five times so far. For some reason, I half expected her to say that she’d not seen it at all, as many people hate to watch themselves back onscreen.
But ever the blossoming businesswoman, the 18-year-old appears determined to see all sides of herself on screen, in a bid to see what she can “work on and improve” for the upcoming series.
“I know it sounds silly, but I’ve rewatched it about five times,” the star told us, adding: “Firstly because I was watching it with different people every time, but also because I’ve never been on TV solo, so I wanted to watch it back see the angles and all of that so for part two I can work on what I didn’t like.
“When you’re watching yourself back on TV you see how you look in so many different ways, and it’s so different to seeing yourself in a mirror or seeing yourself in a picture. When you’ve got cameras following you, you can literally see every angle of yourself. It’s weird.”
I asked Princess why she thinks people are so interested in her life. Naturally, growing up as a daughter of two famous parents, people are bound to know who Princess is, but why her? Why were millions of people tuning in, leading her show to be number one on ITV?
She appeared modest in her response, saying she thinks it’s just because it was ‘most watched’ on ITV, so people may have found it “easy to click on”.
But where she couldn’t be modest, and understandably so, was when talking about the impact the show had had.
“After the show came out, on Instagram, I had the most profile views I’ve ever had in my life, it was insane. It just blew up, it did amazing.
“I don’t think everyone knew who I was before, but they might now. ITV literally came back straight away and said ‘we want to do another one.’”
And the teenager thinks she could be in for a shot at a National Television Awards nomination, as I asked her what she thought about Love Island star Molly-Mae Hague’s docuseries winning a gong for Authored Documentary this year.
“I’m never cocky to the point where I’m like, ‘yeah I’ll win an NTA,’ I’m very humble with it, but I obviously hope it does get at least a nomination,” Princess told us.
Natural beauty
This year, Princess has been compared to US superstar and billionaire businesswoman Kylie Jenner, as well as being named as Tatler’s second best-dressed star for 2025, but despite all of this she’s determined to “make a name for herself,” and would even throw her hat in the ring to host Love Island, should the opportunity arise.
“It’s amazing to be compared to such an amazing woman as Kylie Jenner, but I want to make a name for myself, and I don’t want to be anyone else,” Princess said.
And making a name for herself she certainly is, with the star undeniably gaining more attention and success in 2025 than ever before. But despite keeping an eye on her on-screen angles, and gaining more followers by the day, Princess is determined to promote natural beauty with her fame.
While her former glamour model mum Katie is known for her love of surgery and tweakments, Princess is opting for a different route entirely.
The blonde beauty told us she “does feel pressure trying to look a certain way” but that, as a big sister to three young girls, she wants to make sure they know that embracing your natural beauty is the right way forward.
I know it sounds silly, but I’ve rewatched my show about five times”
She told me: “I don’t want girls, especially younger girls, to feel like they have to wear makeup to feel good, because I’ve got three little sisters now and two of them are in secondary school, and I tell them ‘you don’t need to wear makeup, you’re beautiful already.’
“I’m trying to set the best example for them and that’s what I want to set for everyone else as well.”
And Princess’ own beauty confidence has grown, with the star admitting she loves being on red carpets and attending the glitzy and glamorous events that come with being part of the showbiz circuit.
“I love being in front of the cameras on the carpets and getting my hair and makeup done, and trying out new looks.
“Plus at these events you meet more and more people each time, and see a lot of the same faces too that you can chat to, it’s always a lot of fun.”
Series two
Looking ahead to the much-anticipated second series of The Princess Diaries, Princess isn’t planning to hold back when it comes to showing off her lifestyle, and will invite cameras in to see all aspects of her day-to-day.
The star has just passed her driving test and is “here, there and everywhere,” she tells us, embracing her new independence and stepping into adulthood.
“I feel like I’m stepping into adulthood now, and that’s what series two will be more about,” Princess shared. “It is still following my life and everything that I do and everything on there is natural and what my life really is like. I’m used to the cameras following me around now, and nothing will be guarded or held back, because there’s nothing that I need to hide.”
There will be some slight changes to the new series though, with Princess’ dad Peter and his wife Emily not featuring this time around.
Instead, the 18-year-old has recruited her pals and will enjoy more screentime with older brother Junior, with whom she shares a very close bond.
One friend viewers are set to see on the show is Heidi Katona, daughter of Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona.
Princess’ mum Katie is best pals with Kerry, and so Princess and Heidi have known each other growing up.
“I don’t want girls, especially younger girls, to feel like they have to wear makeup to feel good”
“Heidi is jokes,” Princess tells us, adding: “She’s very chatty and bubbly, and we get along so well. I don’t really post a lot about me and my friends so I think it’ll be nice for people to see that different side to me.
“Junior is definitely going to appear more in it too. I feel like it’s perfect that we’re on it together because we get along so well. We 100% squabble and have big sibling fallouts, and if I spent more than three days with them, I’d be like, ‘right, I wanna go home.’ We get on each other’s nerves sometimes, but overall we’re really close.”
In fact, Princess and Junior get on so well that she tells me she’d only do hit ITV show I’m A Celebrity if they were to be on it together.
Their parents, Pete and Kate, famously met in the jungle back in 2004, and it’s the one reality TV show Princess says she’d love to do above the rest.
Future plans
Opening up on future TV plans, Princess says she’s having “lots of chats with lots of different people,” and that it’s not solely UK focused.
“I am very selective with my work,” Princess explained, telling me that she’s keen to influence people on things she genuinely gets excited about, like her upcoming beauty range, set to launch in 2026.
Princess’ new beauty brand is there to help girls learn, feel confident, and enhance their natural features with makeup, contouring, and clever application, rather than masking them. The entire ethos is about empowering young women to bring out their own natural beauty.
And while this determined teen puts her all into TV work, beauty launches and events, her dating life is taking something of a back seat – and she’s not mad about it.
Princess tells us she’s currently single and focusing on herself, after splitting from her boyfriend in May this year.
The star kept him relatively away from her socials and the spotlight, but if a special someone were to walk into her life and there were conversations about them being on the show, it would happen if it felt completely right for both of them.
Opening up on her love life, Princess shared: “I’m just working hard, living my life, enjoying what I’m doing and if I naturally meet someone, then I’m sure it’ll be on the show, but as of now I am very much just living my life. Girl bossing it, I love it.
“I always think will I meet someone in the industry, but it’s hard to know and I haven’t really given it much thought. It’s just a case of seeing what happens.”
And there’s no signs of stopping this 18-year-old, with Princess listing down New Year’s resolutions such as ‘work harder’ and ‘make my beauty range as successful as possible.’
There are already numerous retailers eager to stock her new beauty line and she tells us they’re quite literally “banging down the door,” but the 18-year-old is taking her time to get everything exactly right.
I think it’s fair to say that we’re only just seeing the start of Princess Andre’s success.
