After splitting from her boyfriend of two years, it’s expected that Princess Andre would want to mark a big life milestone such as turning 18 with her closest friends and loved ones…
…And while that long list included her beloved dad Peter Andre and his wife Emily, apparently it excluded her mum Katie Price. Yikes!
Princess, who turned 18 on June 29, raised eyebrows with some cryptic comments she made during her cover story interview with OK! magazine, appearing to allude to her disapproval of her mum’s party girl lifestyle.
‘I鈥檓 not really a big drinker or a big party-goer,’ she told the publication. ‘I鈥檓 not the sort of person who would embarrass myself. I鈥檒l never put myself in a position that would make me look bad.’
This sparked rumours that Princess was taking a pop at her famous mum, who was recently spotted partying in Dubai just days after gallivanting around Ibiza.
Katie appears to have thrown caution to the wind whilst in Ibiza, and ended up getting the date of her only daughter’s birthday wrong, making all who saw the gaffe cringe.
The I’m A Celeb star wished Princess a happy 18th birthday on June 27, and after realising she’d made a mistake because her daughter was still a 17-year-old for another two days, she quickly deleted her post.
She then replaced it with another snap of Princess, writing: ‘2 days until Princess turns 18, can’t believe it xx.’ Smooth, Katie!
Per MailOnline, though Princess ‘loves her mum’, Katie was notably absent from her not-so-little girl’s birthday meal at the weekend.
This is allegedly due to the fact that filming for her forthcoming fly-on-the-wall series took place at the birthday bash, and Princess’ famous mum is banned from appearing in it, thus her invitation was revoked.
A source told the publication: ‘The last few weeks have been really special for Princess. She鈥檇 been filming her very own television show as she approached her milestone birthday, and has been working really hard behind the scenes on her career as an influencer.
‘Meanwhile, her mum has once again been hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons. She鈥檚 been partying and posing in her bikini and getting lots of attention in the process.’
‘It should be Princess鈥檚 time in the limelight but, sadly, Katie just can鈥檛 help herself. She鈥檚 been doing everything she can to keep herself in the papers. Anyone who knows Princess will say she loves her mum but, equally, she is very difficult at times,’ the source continued.
The insider went on to say ‘nobody’ in the 18-year-old’s circle wants that for her.
It’s believed Katie won’t appear in Princess’ upcoming TV series because the focus will be put on her stable upbringing with her brother Junior in the care of their dad Peter and stepmum Emily.
By all accounts, the Mysterious Girl singer was ‘sobbing’ at the thought of his baby girl marking her milestone 18th birthday.
