Princess Andre shares a heartfelt New Year message as she opens up about personal growth, emotional challenges and gratitude following a turbulent year marked by her reality TV debut and a public rift between her famous parents.
Princess Andre has ended the year on a reflective and optimistic note, expressing gratitude despite the “lows and emotional moments” she experienced over the past 12 months.
The 18-year-old daughter of Peter Andre and Katie Price took to Instagram to share a candid New Year message, hinting at the emotional toll taken by family tensions that followed the launch of her first ITV reality series, The Princess Diaries.
Princess made her reality TV debut last year, but the show quickly became a source of controversy after her mother, former glamour model Katie Price, was notably excluded from filming. Katie later voiced her anger publicly, saying she felt “disrespected” and “disregarded,” and alleged that her ex-husband Peter Andre and his management team were responsible for the decision.
The situation escalated further when it emerged that Peter Andre and Princess’s stepmother, Emily MacDonagh, would not appear in the second series of the show, fuelling further speculation about behind-the-scenes family strain.
Amid the fallout, Princess has now spoken indirectly about the challenges she faced. Posting a round-up of her year on Instagram on Friday, she wrote: “Wow… what a year. It’s been full of highs and lows, emotional moments, and a lot of growth.”
She continued: “I’ve learned so much about myself and I’m genuinely proud of what I’ve achieved. I’m beyond grateful for every experience, every lesson, and every person who has supported me along the way.”
Offering words of encouragement to her followers, Princess added: “To anyone who might feel like this year has been tough, you’ve made it through and remember that there’s always light at the end of the tunnel.”
Looking ahead with optimism, she concluded: “I can’t wait to see what 2026 brings for me! I’m wishing you all the happiest year ahead.”
The update comes amid reports that Katie Price has filmed scenes for the second series of The Princess Diaries, suggesting a possible shift in the ongoing family dynamics as the show moves forward.
With her message of resilience and gratitude, Princess Andre appears focused on personal growth and new opportunities as she steps confidently into the year ahead.
