Princess Andre has an incredibly close bond to her stepmother Emily who has created a ‘safe and happy’ home for her since coming into her life as a child.
The daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre, 18, who recently starred in her own fly on the wall show – The Princess Diaries, spoke about the relationship on the show.
The close look at Princess’ home life which aired last week on BBC1 showed several sweet scenes between the budding star and her stepmother.
Influencer Princess revealed that she often turns to Emily for romantic advice, while insiders insisted she was also a ‘shoulder to cry on’ for the teen.
They came in stark contrast to an emotional moment where Princess admitted she had an ‘unhappy childhood’ and ‘saw things kids shouldn’t’ – and is still recovering from her mother’s ‘dark times’.
A source told the Sun: ‘Emily gives Princess stability and a lot of love, but Princess knows she can never praise Emily or share stories about her life at home with Katie. And that’s very difficult when you love someone so much. Princess probably feels she’s forced to hold back.’

Princess met Emily when she was just three year’s old
Princess met Emily when she was just three year’s old and had begun dating her father following the breakdown of his marriage to her mum Katie.
The NHS doctor slipped near seamlessly into the role of caregiver to Peter’s two young children as well as juggling her university commitments.
The source added: ‘Emily was so young when she became a stepmum to Princess and, as she gets older, Princess has even more respect and admiration for her,’ the source continued.
‘She understands how it must have been hard for Emily, but she never showed it, and it’s become even clearer to Princess how special Emily is.’
They added that the home she provided for Princess and her brother Junior, as well as the three children she shares with Pete, is ‘safe and happy’.
Now Princess is becoming an adult they can apparently talk about anything including work and career as well as her personal life.
Last year in an interview, Princess praised Emily, saying, :’She’s the perfect stepmother. I couldn’t have asked for better’.
The series follows Princess’s life as she turns 18 and tries to find her place in the world – and it is also notably when she is mourning the loss of her two-year relationship.

Speaking about who she turns to, Princess says: ‘Ems gives the best advice – I feel like if I’m ever in a situation I don’t want to talk to dad about, I’ll speak to Ems about it.’
Peter’s second wife Emily is the mother of his three youngest children; Amelia, 11, Theo, nine, and Arabella, 13 months.
In the show, Princess admits that she is not yet ready to move on from her relationship with her former boyfriend, whose name has not been made publicly available.
Princess tells Emily that she can’t currently ‘picture’ herself with anyone else and feels ‘lost and confused’ after the split.
She says: ‘I don’t think I’m really ready to move on. Another relationship does not interest me right now.
‘Me and the ex are still in touch. We’re friends but there’s still a lot of love there.’
In response to this Emily, a doctor, tells the teenager that she does not have to move on immediately and that it will likely do her good to spend some time by herself.
She advised: ‘It’s important to have time to yourself, to find out who you are as well.

‘It’s not the right time for you, you can’t be bothered at the moment. If the right person comes along, you’ll be bothered.
‘You’ve got a lot to give to someone else. You’re a big catch.’
The revelation comes after Princess admitted she ‘saw things kids shouldn’t’ during her childhood – and is still recovering from her mother’s ‘dark times’.
The 18-year-old has for the first time laid bare the impact of her parents’ tumultuous divorce.
Speaking during episode one of her ITV show, which aired on Sunday night, she told viewers: ‘I had so much on my plate at such a young age.’
Princess also described the impact her mother’s subsequent chaotic romances and lifestyle had on her growing up.
She told how Katie fell into a ‘dark’ place following her 2018 split from third husband Kieran Hayler – who she shares Bunny, 10, and Jett, 11, with – after she discovered he had been unfaithful throughout their marriage.
Katie herself has previously admitted to attempting suicide and relying on drugs and alcohol as a coping mechanism at the time, and now Princess has told how it affected her.

Princess revealed on the show how she has a counsellor and previously ‘couldn’t just go to my dad’ due to her parents, who split in 2009, ‘not liking each other’.
‘She [Katie] is so unpredictable and she lives life and doesn’t care,’ said Princess.
‘I love that, I’d love that mindset of I don’t care because deep down I do, I’ll get to bed and cry about it.’

Princess has already signed big money deals with clothing and beauty brands including being an ambassador for high street chain Superdrug, Studio London, Morphe and Revolution.
But television executives have been so impressed with the teenager that it looks set to be the start of her television career and clearly don’t want her controversial mother to muddy her chances at becoming a household name.
Emily recently revealed how she and her husband Peter have different parenting styles, telling new! magazine: ‘Pete definitely worries more, whereas I’ll think of it, deal with it and it’s done.
‘I understand why he worries, but I feel like if you don’t teach them not to do something, as soon as you remove that barrier, they’ll just do it anyway.
‘He would have stair gates absolutely everywhere if he could, so we’ve compromised! I have put a stair gate in the door that goes out of the kitchen because Arabella can get to the stairs otherwise.
‘The shape of our stairs means we can’t put a gate at the bottom. It drives everybody nuts, and we all end up climbing over it because no one can ever open it.
‘To me, that’s fine, though, because I want her to be safe.’
Emily and Peter – who got married at Mamhead House and Castle in Devon, South West England, in July 2015 – have finally caved and recently gave their eldest child Amelia a mobile phone, but with strict guidelines given how ‘dangerous’ social media and the internet can be for children.
