Princess Andre has opened up about her parents’ public spat after dad Peter Adre posted a blistering statement accusing Katie Price of peddling lies for 16 years.
It’s officially crunch time for the noughties’ most iconic couple over 20 years since former glamour model Katie, 47, and Mysterious Girl hitmaker Peter, 52, fell in love on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here in 2004.
After marrying in 2005, welcoming two children – Junior, 20, and Princess, 18 – and then divorcing four years later, relations turned sour for the former lovebirds.
Tensions have officially boiled over, as Pete took to social media last night with some rare stern words for his ex-wife.
Now Princess has addressed the sudden escalation on Snapchat during a Q&A after she was asked: ‘Does it affect you even now when your mum and dad don’t get on?’
The teen responded: ‘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’
Over the top of the clip, Princess added: ‘I love my mum and dad and that’s all that matters.’
In his shock Instagram statement last night, Peter wrote: ‘The latest comments about my children’s welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight.
‘For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood.
‘In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before, out of respect for my children.
‘In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases, found my ex-wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise to me and my management. The same falsehoods are being repeated today.
‘Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations I have yet to address. Those will now be dealt with in the coming months.’
In a statement to Metro, Katie’s representative said in response: ‘Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation, this was in the past and she doesn’t feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she’s dealing with this the right way and it’s now in her lawyers hands.
‘Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was…’
This comes after Katie slammed those producing Princess’s debut reality ITV series, The Princess Diaries.

Chatting to her sister Sophie Price on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, the mum-of-five claimed to have been deliberately cut out of Princess’ show because she wasn’t good for the teen’s brand.
‘I want the best for Junior and Princess, and I would never get in the way of it,’ she began.
Katie explained: ‘But what hurts my feelings, and it does upset me, is when your kids grow up, you go to their assemblies, you go to their Christmas things, you go to their awards, you go to their football matches or gymnastics, you’re involved in everything they do.
‘And knowing that, what my career has been, Princess is taking that same path, trying to do the same as what I’ve done, which I absolutely love and adore [about] Princess.’
