Katie Price has reportedly been left red-faced after being compelled to take down a heartfelt social media tribute to her daughter Princess on her 18th birthday.
The former glamour model, 46, had posted a gushing message accompanied by a series of throwback and recent photos to mark the milestone occasion. However, the post was swiftly deleted, sparking speculation among fans and prompting whispers of behind-the-scenes tension.
According to insiders, the removal of the post wasn’t voluntary. “Katie was really proud of what she’d written—it was emotional and full of love—but she was asked to take it down,” a source claimed. “She felt embarrassed and hurt, especially since it was meant to be a special moment between mother and daughter.”
Princess, whose father is singer Peter Andre, is said to be increasingly keen to manage her public image independently, especially as she navigates adulthood in the spotlight. While it’s unclear who made the request, some suggest it may have come from Princess herself or those close to her.
The incident has reignited speculation about the complex dynamics within the Price–Andre family, particularly concerning how much control Katie maintains over how her children are portrayed online.
Neither Katie nor Princess has publicly addressed the incident.
Katie Price, 47, was reportedly left humiliated after being required to delete an early birthday tribute to her daughter, Princess Andre, which she posted via Instagram Stories on Friday.
The media personality—who shares Princess with her former partner, Peter Andre—had published a heartfelt message accompanied by a childhood photograph of her daughter. The post read: “Happy 18th birthday to the most amazing daughter and my best friend @princess_andre. I love you so much.”
However, the tribute was shared prematurely, approximately 48 hours ahead of Princess’s actual birthday on Sunday, resulting in its removal. Sources indicate that Ms. Price’s early post may have prompted concerns or objections, leading to her being asked to take it down—an act that reportedly left her feeling embarrassed, given the personal and affectionate nature of the message.
The initial birthday tribute shared by Katie Price was swiftly removed after being posted prematurely. Currently residing in Dubai, the mother-of-five later replaced the original message with a revised post, sharing a different image of Princess and writing: “2 days until Princess turns 18 can’t believe it xx.”
Earlier this week, Princess drew considerable attention for her striking resemblance to her mother. She posted a glamorous selfie featuring voluminous curls reminiscent of Katie Price’s signature hairstyle during her early career in the 1990s. The image, taken ahead of attending a Dua Lipa concert, showcased the teen fully made-up with W7 Cosmetics products, smiling radiantly in natural sunlight.
The caption, shared by Princess’s beautician, read: “What a beauty…”—a sentiment echoed by many fans who noted the uncanny likeness between mother and daughter.
Katie Price, now 47, became widely recognisable in the mid-1990s with her naturally curly light-brown hair. Archival photos from 1995 depict her with a frizzy hairstyle and dressed in a white two-piece outfit during her modelling career. Over the years, Price has undergone numerous hair transformations: she frequently straightened her curls during her “Jordan” era, later dyed her hair blonde, and was even seen sporting braids during her appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2004—the same series during which she met Peter Andre, the father of Princess.#newsafro_
