Peter Andre has opened up about his daughter’s family and shared information about The Princess Diaries, an ITV series that sees his daughter make her debut on television.
Peter Andre insists he was “very strict” about his daughter Princess could feature in her new ITV reality show.
Speaking for the first time about the teenage’s foray into the TV world, Peter, 52, admitted he was wary of letting Princess appear on TV before she “got to an age where she could do it herself”. Yet now, her programme on ITV2, The Princess Diaries, has been praised since it began this summer.
In it, Princess, 18, opens up about her “chaotic” childhood as the daughter of the Mysterious Girl hitmaker, and his ex Katie Price. The young influencer told this week how Katie’s “Mucky Mansion” was a “really scary” place in which to live.
However, Peter has argued that he made sure his daughter was prepared to face the difficulties and trials that the showbiz industry brings. The father-of-five said, “I was very strict about what she wasn’t allowed to do, you know, I didn’t really want her to do a lot of things before she reached the age where she can do it herself.”

After Peter and Katie split, Princess grew up in the “Mucky Mansion,” a sprawling pile in Sussex which Katie sold at the end of 2024, money for which she has reportedly used to pay off debt. Princess has spoken candidly about her experiences in the house, which she described as “really scary”.
And Peter, born in Harrow, northwest London, reflected on being a “strict” parent when Princess grew up. The star told Daily Mail: “I just wanted to be safe and, you know, you try and keep the innocence as long as you can with them, and then, you just got to realise that they’ve got to live life.
I could have been a bit of a strict dad, but I don’t think I’m right now. I’m, I’m much more relaxed now… The difficult part is that, at age 18, some people let go [more easily] while trying to cut that umbilical cord, because I have to be honest.
The singer and songwriter praised Princess, describing her as “a really sweet person who will become” her own little true gem.
