Princess Andre's childhood with mum Katie Price explained as she saw things 'no kid should'
Princess Andre has opened up about her mum Katie Price after experiencing things 'no kid should'.
The 18-year-old content creator has lifted the lid on what it's been like growing up in the public eye around her celebrity parents, Price and Peter Andre.
They famously met in the early 2000s on I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!, and went on to marry and have two children together, Princess and Junior, 20, before getting divorced in 2009.
Katie and Peter’s split was met with a lot of media scrutiny, as both parents share joint custody of their children.

Now, in her new ITV2 series The Princess Diaries, Princess said that she struggled watching her mother fall into a 'dark' place following her 2018 split from third husband, Kieran Hayler.
Katie Price divorces Princess' step-dad Kieran Hayler
After her divorce from Andre in 2009, Price was married to Hayler for approximately eight years, with them welcoming children Jett and Bunny. However, their marriage ended dramatically after Price claimed he cheated on her seven times.
"I am appalled that someone I loved, trusted and believed in has behaved in this way," Price said at the time.
"If he had so little respect for our relationship I would have hoped he would have thought about our child, or the one that we have on the way.
"That he did not means he will no longer be part of my life. I will do all I can to ensure he maintains a relationship with his children should he want that."
The things Princess ‘saw that kids shouldn’t'
Princess admitted in her new docuseries that she wishes she 'had a happier childhood'.
"My mum and Kieran split up when I was 10 years old, we were close to him. He was in our lives for five years. He did a lot of stuff and when they split everything went downhill," she claimed.
Price has apologised for her behaviour at the time and has been open about her struggles with mental health and drug use over the years.
"Mum was heartbroken and she went through a dark time and it was things kids shouldn't see and when we needed our mum there, she wasn't there because she had her own problems.
"I'm not healed or fully recovered from it but mum has fixed herself compared to how she was back then."
Katie Price and Princess survive carjacking in South Africa
One of the most frightening moments in Princess' childhood was when she and Price survived a carjacking in South Africa.
During a family holiday in 2018, a group of armed robbers stopped their car and held them at gunpoint.
Princess says her blonde hair and blue eyes made her a target, recalling the kidnappers threatening to shoot her and demanding Price hand over the children.
Speaking to her brother Junior in the new series, she said: “I looked out the window and I remember it not feeling real, and the guy was just staring into my soul. Then they were like 'we've got guns, we're going to shoot you'.”
