She has been on TV since she was born, and now, at 18, has a reality show of her own. She discusses confidence, self-consciousness, growing up in the spotlight, the pain of social media and dealing with her parents’ very public divorce
Princess Tiaamii Crystal Esther Andre is no stranger to TV. She made her debut in the reality show Katie & Peter: The Baby Diaries which documented the first six weeks of her life. Her first two years were chronicled in subsequent reality shows, until her parents, the model and entrepreneur Katie Price and the singer Peter Andre, split up in 2009. Andre continued to make regular appearances on her parents’ solo reality shows.
Now that she has come of age, 18-year-old Andre has her own four-part reality show, The Princess Diaries, on ITV2. As you would expect, it has already made headlines. While her father is a regular on the show, her mother is not. As I approach the cafe in Surrey where we are meeting, the Sun and the Mirror publish stories saying that Price is devastated not to have been invited to Andre’s 18th birthday party or to have been included in the show, adding that her daughter is “too scared” to tell the truth about the family rift. So, business as usual.
