Princess Andre Praises Stepmother Emily as the “Perfect Mother” and “Safe Haven” After Difficult Childhood with Biological Mom Katie Price

Princess Andre has opened up like never before about the extraordinary bond she shares with her stepmother, Emily Andre, crediting her with transforming her life after a troubled childhood with her biological mother, Katie Price.

In the latest episodes of her ITV series, The Princess Diaries, the 18-year-old daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre spoke candidly about the challenges she faced growing up. Princess revealed that she “saw things kids shouldn’t” and is still healing from her mother’s “dark times,” describing those years as deeply unsettling.

Everything changed when Emily entered her life. Marrying Peter Andre in 2015, Emily stepped into the role of caregiver when Princess was just three years old. Despite juggling the demands of medical school and a growing family, Emily became the rock Princess and her brother Junior desperately needed. “Emily created a safe and happy home for us,” Princess shared. “She’s the perfect stepmother—someone I truly respect and admire.”

A family insider echoed Princess’s sentiments, revealing: “Princess knows how hard it must have been for Emily, but she never let it show. Now, as she gets older, Princess sees just how special Emily really is.”

The bond between Princess and Emily is evident. On the show, Princess confided in Emily about the pain of a recent breakup, admitting she couldn’t “imagine being with anyone else.” Emily reassured her, encouraging Princess to focus on self-love and reminding her: “You’re a big catch.”

Princess also revealed she sought counseling to cope with her past, explaining that she “couldn’t just go to dad” because of the tension between her parents. Reflecting on her relationship with Katie Price, Princess admitted: “Mum’s unpredictable and lives like she doesn’t care. I love that about her, but deep down it makes me cry.”

Despite her emotional struggles, Princess has found her footing. She’s now thriving in the beauty and fashion world, landing lucrative deals and stepping out of her mother’s controversial shadow. TV bosses are eager to help her carve out a career all her own.

Last year, Princess summed up her gratitude in one heartfelt sentence: “She’s the perfect stepmother. I couldn’t have asked for better.”
