Katie Price and Princess' 'feud' after '18th birthday snub' and jealousy claims

Katie Price's podcast rant about her daughter Princess' blossoming fame amid her new ITV show appears to have backfired as insiders have branded her as 'jealous'.

Fresh claims about Katie Price's reported 'feud' with her daughter Princess have been revealed with insiders accusing the former glamour model of a series of hurtful moves towards her daughter. These include missing a planned morning meet-up with Princess on her 18th birthday to party abroad instead, and trying to "insert herself" into Princess' success as she embarks on a showbiz career of her own.

Katie, 47, has also been accused of attention seeking behaviour on the eve of her daughter's new ITV show in an attempt to overshadow the launch. The mum-of-five has made a number of claims in the days leading up to Princess' ITV reality series, The Princess Diaries, which launches at 9pm on Sunday August 10.

Katie claimed she was banned from her daughter's 18th birthday party and that her former management team, who manage ex-husband Peter Andre and Princess, did not want her on the show as they consider her as "trash". Speaking on her podcast, Katie claimed: “Princess was like ‘I’m having a party’. And I wasn’t invited because it was for ‘filming’.”

She added: “The fact is there’s stuff my daughter is doing and I’m not allowed to be seen at any of it.”

However, insiders claim that her version of events is far from the truth, the Mirror reports.

They alleged that 18-year-old Princess had arranged to see her mum on the morning of her birthday in June in London but Katie failed to appear.

A source said: “It was all in the diary but then Katie claimed she couldn’t make it as she was abroad. It was disappointing.

“For Katie to then say she was banned from the afternoon’s filmed party when she was the no-show in the morning is just beyond belief.”

The former Celebrity Big Brother winner was later snapped partying in Ibiza and then Dubai.

She also reportedly accidentally shared a happy birthday Instagram message to Princess, 36 hours before her daughter’s big day.

Insiders are perplexed by Katie’s attempts to “repeatedly insert herself into her daughter’s career”.

The former model herself claimed: “I have not been allowed to go on any photoshoots, signings or Superdrug openings or anything like that. I’m not welcome.”

However, the source said: “Why is she making this all about her? What sort of person on the eve of her daughter’s show, starts throwing all these grenades and believes she knows what’s best, and should be given equal billing?

“It’s Princess’s life, her career.”

A second insider added: “It’s so unfair that Princess is going through all this when it is her show and it’s about her…

“Pete keeps quiet about the whole situation with Katie and just wants to support his children.”

Some have been left questioning whether Katie is jealous of her daughter's success.

The source said: “Princess’s career is flourishing.

“It was already predicted before she’s going to be the next Kylie Jenner and now she’s set to become a millionaire by next year.”

Katie, who has been married three times, has puzzled some of her exes with her behaviour.

One source close to an ex told the Mirror that it was “ludicrous” for her to have hit out at her former manager at The CAN Group.

Katie, who also has son Junior, 20, with Peter, had claimed: “I’ve always said over my dead body would I want her managing my kids. She doesn’t like me.”

But a source close to an ex claimed: “When Katie was at the height of her problems, including her drink-drive arrest a few years ago, she approached her former manager for help.

"She was in such a bad way but her manager was really happy to help... She organised a job but Katie didn’t end up doing it. To turn around now and claim she wants nothing to do with her is nonsense. She wasn’t saying that at the time.”

Friends say the teen, who lives with her 52-year-old dad Andre, step-mum Emily, 35, and their three young children, loves her mum but that it had not always been easy for her growing up.

In her new ITV series, Princess opens up about her difficult childhood, including how tough it as when Katie separated from her third husband, Kieran Hayler, in 2018.

She said: “My mum, being heartbroken, didn’t deal with it in the best way.

“She went through a dark time. It was hard for me because I saw things kids don’t need to see, and my mum wasn’t emotionally able to be there.”

Princess read stories at the time about her mum, including her driving bans, divorce and bankruptcy hearings.

She said: “I would go into school and have people ask me questions about what they had seen in the papers and I would go home and cry.”

The teenager's difficult relationship with her mum is much stronger now.

She said: “I’m still not really healed from what has happened but Mum is such a different person and has really fixed herself,” before describing her mum as “my best friend”.

She added: “She is so unpredictable. She just lives life and doesn’t care, and I really look up to that.”

The CAN Group said: “We would never advise a client on their personal life unless asked and we have never stopped anyone seeing their families.”
