Princess Andre has opened up about the extraordinary bond she shares with her stepmother Emily, crediting her with creating a “safe and happy home” after years of instability.
The 18-year-old daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre revealed in her ITV series The Princess Diaries that she often turns to Emily for advice and support, describing her as the “perfect stepmother.” Princess admitted that she “saw things kids shouldn’t” during her childhood and is still healing from her mother’s “dark times.”
Emily, who married Peter in 2015, stepped into the role of caregiver when Princess was just three. Balancing her medical studies with family life, she became a constant source of stability for both Princess and her brother Junior. A family insider explained that Princess has “deep respect and admiration” for Emily, adding: “She knows how hard it must have been, but Emily never showed it. Now Princess sees just how special she is.”
On the show, Princess confided in Emily about her heartbreak after a recent breakup, telling her she couldn’t “picture being with anyone else.” Emily reassured her, saying it was important to “spend time on yourself” and reminded her: “You’re a big catch.”
The star also revealed she sought counselling, explaining she “couldn’t just go to dad” because her parents “don’t like each other.” Reflecting on her mum, Princess said: “She’s unpredictable and lives life like she doesn’t care. I love that about her, but deep down I cry about it.”
Despite the emotional past, Princess now enjoys a thriving career, signing lucrative beauty and fashion deals, with TV bosses keen to push her career further — away from her mother’s controversies.
Last year, Princess summed up her feelings in one simple sentence: “She’s the perfect stepmother. I couldn’t have asked for better.”
