PRINCESS Andre faced unfair blame from an unlikely source after being dragged into a feud with her mum, Katie Price.
The teenager has been at the centre of an online frenzy ever since Katie claimed she’d been banned from appearing in her new ITV2 show, The Princess Diaries.

The mother-daughter are rebuilding their close relationship – with Katie posting non-stop about their quality time together in recent days.
However, there remains friction behind the scenes since the 18-year-old’s aunt suggested Princess demand Katie appear on camera with her.
Katie’s sister Sophie told The Katie Price Show podcast: “Ultimately I do think it’s down to Princess to put her foot down a bit.”
“But, she’ll be scared Soph,” replied Katie.
The “hurtful” dig is yet another unhelpful distraction from Princess’s soaring career, which has left her and her dad Peter Andre “devastated”, an insider claimed.
Our source told The Sun: “Princess has always had a close mother-daughter bond with Katie throughout her life, whether that’s been shown on or off-screen.
“This new series is about Princess’s life, so she made sure to include her mum in it as much as possible.
“Princess is always honest and transparent. She wouldn’t want to include scenes that weren’t authentic. Her parents have been split up for a long time and never see each other.”
The insider added: “It’s been a difficult, whirlwind of a time.
“The past few weeks should have been fully focused on Princess and her new career. Instead, it’s been marred by her mum who can’t let go of being in the headlines.
“It’s turned into a circus. And now Katie is posting about Princess more and more on social media because she knows that’s what everyone’s talking about right now and she’s keen to show they have a good relationship. It comes across as damage control.”
Katie and Peter fell in love on I’m a Celebrity in 2004 and went on to have two children together.
After a bitter divorce five years later, relations remained frostily cordial, bar the former glamour model’s occasional jibes.
However, last week pop star Pete broke his 16-year silence – vowing to take legal action over “more lies and baseless accusations” from his ex-wife.

Headstrong Princess broke her silence on her warring parents’ feud, telling a fan on social media: “To be honest it doesn’t affect me. At the end of the day, they broke up when I was two years old so I don’t even have any memory of them being together,” she said.
She added: “I love my mum and dad and that’s all that matters.”
Pete’s shock outburst triggered Katie’s second and third husbands to also speak out about their ex.
Kieran Hayler, 38, and Alex Reid, 50, are said to be consulting lawyers in a bid to stop her explosive Sky documentary airing next year.
Meanwhile Katie – who vowed not to watch or promote her own daughter’s show – has been posting more than usual with Princess, who she hasn’t lived with since 2018.
Yesterday, Katie shared footage on snapchat of her at a local park with Princess as she attempts to walk across a tightrope.
The pair joked around after a difficult few weeks – as Princess poked fun at Katie’s extremely thin legs in a pair of white shorts.
Speaking behind the camera, Princess shouted: “Your legs might snap mum!”
A spokesman for Pete and Princess’s management firm, CAN, told The Sun: “We never ever get involved in our clients’ personal lives unless they ask us to.
“We would never advise our clients to see their parents or not.
“Princess has a good relationship with both of her parents. We would rather not get dragged into any negativity.”
