Princess Andre, the daughter of Peter Andre and Katie Price, has opened up more about her life in a recent ITV show titled The Princess Diaries.
When your first name is 'Princess', you might as well take the opportunities it offers.
In her show, she talks about living in the public eye right from her first few weeks of life after being born in 2007, where Katie & Peter: The Baby Diaries documented her earliest moments.
Her dad, Peter Andre, appears in The Princess Diaries, though her mum doesn't and Price recently posted the quote 'your mom is not your enemy' to Instagram.

Peter Andre then shared a statement on social media saying that his silence 'ends today' and he wanted to set the record straight, with Price releasing her own statement about 'saints and sinners'.
Princess has talked about her earlier years a few times as she said she saw things 'no kid should'.
Speaking to The Guardian about growing up in the 'Mucky Mansion', Princess said: "It was a really scary house. A lot went on there. So I didn’t really like it.

"I guess when you have bad experiences somewhere you don’t like the place.
"There was a period of time when me and Junior actually had to live with my dad."
She lived in the nine bedroom mansion, which featured on the reality show Katie Price's Mucky Mansion, with her mum for a time but explained that she didn't enjoy living there.
Princess said that she now shares living time between her dad's house and her mum's new home, with Price having sold Mucky Mansion.
"Dad’s house is a lot quieter, a lot more peaceful, a lot more organised," the 18-year-old said.

Speaking on the subject of whether or not her mum would have been welcome in her recent ITV2 show, Princess said it was because she'd been living with her dad when the show was made that he was in it.
"Because I’m living with dad at the moment, he was in it more, it was never true that I didn’t want her in it," Princess said.
She told the Daily Mail about her recent 18th birthday party, which features in The Princess Diaries and her dad attended but not her mum, explaining that she would normally spend the morning with one parent and the afternoon with the other but that didn't happen this time as Price was away.

"As it happened, mum ended up being away, and dad had already decided to throw me a last minute birthday party, which we filmed for the show," Princess said.
Princess explained that her mum 'was heartbroken' and 'went through a dark time' following her break up with third husband Kieran Hayler, describing it as 'things kids shouldn't see'.
She said: "I wish I could have had a happier childhood, I had so much on my plate at such a young age and had things at the back of my mind.

"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."
Princess said she talks with her mum 'a lot' now, and explained that while she didn't feel 'healed or fully recovered from it' her mum 'has fixed herself compared to how she was back then'.
She added: "She spoke to me about it and she apologised and I never wanted an apology but it was a lot that she acknowledged it and she realised she needed to prioritise us, we now talk a lot and she is now my best friend."
Speaking more about her mother, Princess said she would like to have her mindset of living her life and not caring what people say.
"She is so unpredictable and she lives life and doesn't care," Princess said.
"I love that, I'd love that mind set of I don't care because deep down I do, I'll get to bed and cry about it."
The Princess Diaries is available to stream on ITVX.
