Katie Price claims Princess is 'too scared to tell the truth' behind family 'rift'

Princess Andre is "too scared to tell the truth" about her apparent "rift" with her mum, Katie Price. The former glamour model and her eldest daughter have been surrounded by allegations of a rift in recent weeks, after it was revealed that Katie, 47, would not be included in Princess's own reality show.

Instead, The Princess Diaries shows Princess with her dad, Peter Andre, step-mum Emily and her journey to adulthood after turning 18. But while Katie has maintained a positive relationship with her children, she claims that people behind the scenes have implied that there is a rift between them.

She has also claimed she was blacklisted from appearing in the show, despite being in Ibiza while Princess was there, and crying to producers over the ordeal. Now, the former glamour model has suggested that while Princess is appearing on her own show and engaging with the media, she's 'too afraid' to reveal the truth. It comes after Katie Price worries fans with appearance in family photo after explaining weight loss.

"I said to Princess 'Have you seen any edits of the show?' and she said 'no'," Katie revealed on her podcast, The Katie Price Show. She went on to add: "So it'll be interesting to see what's cut out. I won't be watching the show and I won't be promoting the show because I don't need it rubbed in my face of everyone playing happy families and regarding me as the other parent.

"Although I support Princess and everything she does. But I think it's really wrong for her age to be put in this situation because she's going to have to do press, and they will ask. Apparently they're doing This Morning; Junior and Princess, they are going to be asked 'What's all this about your mum? Why isn't your mum in it?"

Katie continued: "I think Princess would be too scared to tell the truth because Dad and management wouldn't have me in it, which is the truth. Princess shouldn't have that pressure; she should be enjoying it and not worrying about what her parents think. It's very healthy for both parents to support their kids.

"I know her management listens to my podcast, so I just want to say one thing, and it's to all parents out there. Any parent out there, how would you feel as a parent that you're so close to your child but then you've got other people taking them off you, not letting you turn up or support your child. They just take them off you. They don't acknowledge you. They don't tell you anything. They don't involve you in anything. How harmful is that to a mother? It's so upsetting."

Princess is currently managed by CAN Group, who also look after Peter. But CAN also represented Katie following her stint on I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!, and during her marriage to Peter, after the pair met in the jungle. However, Katie has never made it a secret that she didn't want the firm handling Princess, as the director allegedly doesn't like Katie, due to their bond being severed when she and her first husband split up in 2009.

Katie was reminded that she can't be "deleted completely", but while she can be stopped from appearing on the show, producers have more than likely realised that they couldn't make the show without mentioning Katie. "When I was in Ibiza, Princess was there in Ibiza and I wasn't allowed to meet up with her," she added.

It was during a night out on the party island that Katie bumped into producers of The Princess Diaries and burst out crying, telling them how she wished to be involved. "I never cry," she said, before adding that the producer saw how upset she was and "knew it was right" that Katie should be supporting her daughter.

"I don't know where it's going to go from here, but it's alright for them not to have me in the show, but I'm alright to be used for headlines for the show," she added.
