📺 Katie Price is heading back into the reality TV spotlight — and this time, it is through her daughter Princess Andre’s hit ITV2 series.
The glamour model and television personality is set to appear on The Princess Diaries, despite previously claiming she had been blocked from taking part in the show’s first series.
Katie, 48, reportedly filmed scenes with Princess this week, marking a major U-turn after earlier tensions over whether she should be featured on camera.
For fans of the famous family, the move is huge.
Princess, 18, is the daughter of Katie and singer Peter Andre, and her reality series follows her life as she steps into adulthood, builds her own career and navigates fame under the shadow of two very well-known parents.
Now, after being kept mostly off screen during the first run, Katie is finally set to become part of that story.
🔥 According to reports, Katie filmed with Princess on Friday, with a source insisting that the teenager loves her mother and that there was no reason Katie should be excluded when other family members have appeared.
The insider said Princess has a bond with her mum regardless of what may be happening around the family.
That point is likely to resonate with viewers.
After all, The Princess Diaries is supposed to show Princess’s real life — and Katie Price is undeniably a major part of that life.
During the first series, Katie’s voice was briefly heard during a phone call with Princess, but she did not appear properly on screen. By contrast, Peter Andre and his wife Emily MacDonagh were given significant screen time.
That imbalance did not go unnoticed.
💔 Katie had previously spoken openly about feeling hurt over the situation, claiming she had been kept away from the show because of decisions linked to CAN Associates.
The agency is owned by Claire Powell, Katie’s former manager, who now manages both Princess and Peter Andre.
Katie has claimed that CAN Associates requested she should not appear in the programme.
The background between Katie, Peter and Claire is long, complicated and full of history.
Katie and Peter were once one of Britain’s biggest celebrity couples, building a huge reality TV brand together after falling in love in the public eye. Their marriage, family life and glamorous deals kept them constantly in the headlines.
But after their split in 2009, relationships behind the scenes became strained.
⚡ Katie fell out with Claire Powell following the breakdown of her marriage to Peter.
Claire had managed both Katie and Peter during their time together, helping shape some of their biggest commercial moments, including magazine deals and their own successful ITV fly-on-the-wall series.
After the split, Claire remained closely linked to Peter and continues to manage him.
For Katie, that professional history has remained a sore point.
On her podcast last year, she spoke angrily about Princess signing with Claire’s agency at just 16, saying she was “very upset” by the decision.
Katie claimed Claire had controlled the public narrative around her marriage to Peter, including photo shoots and how the couple were presented.
The comments showed how deeply the old wounds still run.
🌟 In 2015, Katie settled a privacy claim involving Peter, Claire and CAN Associates Ltd. She had sought damages and an injunction after alleging that private details about her life had been leaked to the press.
That legal history makes her appearance on The Princess Diaries even more striking.
For years, the family’s public story has been shaped by separation, management decisions, headlines and divided loyalties.
Now, Katie’s inclusion in Princess’s show could signal a softer shift — or at least a recognition that viewers want to see the full family picture.
Princess has become a rising star in her own right.
She has grown up in front of the British public, first as the daughter of two famous parents and now as a young woman building her own identity.
💫 The first series of The Princess Diaries followed her as she prepared to turn 18 and embrace adulthood.
The show proved a major success for ITV2, becoming the channel’s biggest launch outside of reality giants Love Island and Big Brother.
That success helped secure a double recommission, and the series has also been longlisted in the Reality Docuseries category for this year’s National Television Awards.
For ITV2, Princess is clearly becoming valuable.
She brings nostalgia for viewers who remember Katie and Peter’s early reality TV days, but she also appeals to a younger audience interested in influencer culture, family life and celebrity coming-of-age stories.
Adding Katie properly into the mix could make the show even more talked-about.
📺 Katie Price is, after all, one of Britain’s original reality TV powerhouses.
Long before social media influencers dominated celebrity culture, Katie knew how to turn public interest into television, books, shoots, brands and headlines.
Her life has been chaotic, controversial, emotional and endlessly covered by the press.
That makes her a risky presence — but also an undeniably compelling one.
If she appears alongside Princess, viewers may get a more intimate look at their mother-daughter dynamic, away from tabloid noise and public assumptions.
It could show warmth, tension, honesty or all three.
And that is exactly what reality TV thrives on.
🔥 The timing of Katie’s return is also dramatic.
Reports of her appearance come amid fresh turbulence in her private life, including claims surrounding her fourth husband Lee Andrews, who reportedly vanished for around two weeks.
Katie was said to have been deeply worried during his absence, while reports later claimed he had been arrested and was being held in Dubai. Katie disputed parts of the story at the time.
It is understood the situation related to allegations concerning a private civil matter.
The uncertainty has added yet another layer of stress to Katie’s already complicated life.
For that reason, being allowed to film with Princess may feel like a much-needed personal boost.
❤️ Despite the scandals, headlines and legal battles, Katie has always been fiercely vocal about her love for her children.
She is a mother of five, and her bond with Princess has remained a frequent subject of public interest.
Princess, meanwhile, is stepping into fame at an age when every move is watched, judged and compared to her parents.
That cannot be easy.
Having both parents represented in her show may help give viewers a more complete version of her world.
Peter and Emily’s appearances brought one side of the family dynamic. Katie’s presence brings another.
And for many viewers, that is only fair.
🌹 The question now is how much Katie will actually feature.
A brief appearance would be enough to make headlines, but a more substantial role could change the tone of the show entirely.
Katie is not someone who fades quietly into the background. She brings history, emotion and instant drama simply by walking into a scene.
That could be exactly what producers want.
It could also be what Princess wants — a chance to show her relationship with her mother in her own way, rather than letting others define it.
For Katie, the appearance is more than a TV cameo.
It is a reminder that she remains part of Princess’s story, no matter what past tensions may exist behind the scenes.
💥 After years of family fallout, management disputes and reality TV history, Katie Price is back where many fans first came to know her: in front of the cameras, surrounded by family drama.
Only this time, the spotlight belongs to Princess.
And Katie’s return may be the twist that makes The Princess Diaries impossible to ignore.
