Princess Andre Optimistic About Parental Reconciliation for ITV Series
Princess Andre, the 18-year-old media personality who has captured public attention through her ITV2 reality series The Princess Diaries, has revealed her heartfelt hope that both her parents, Katie Price and Peter Andre, will participate in the show's upcoming third season. This announcement comes after a period of highly publicized family tensions that Princess previously claimed had negatively impacted her initial series.
Moving Beyond Family Discord
In recent interviews promoting the second season of The Princess Diaries, Princess and her brother Junior Andre emphasized their desire to move forward from past conflicts. "The good thing is now my mum and dad have come out with an agreement to be fine," Princess explained. "So hopefully season 3 they will actually both be in it."
Junior Andre echoed this sentiment, stating, "We obviously know what goes on behind the scenes, but obviously because there's a lot of media attention they needed to put it out there. But it's just great that we're really strong as a family and we're excited to just get on with our lives."
Unexpected Success and Public Response
Reflecting on the surprising success of her debut season, Princess shared how initial skepticism transformed into widespread approval. "Before the show came out, I did get quite a lot of hate towards it," she recalled. "Then people watched it and they messaged me after saying 'oh my god, I'm so sorry, this was the best thing I watched.'"
Perhaps most unexpectedly, Princess discovered that her show resonated across generations. "There were a lot of different ages, but there was a lot of dads who said you've actually inspired my daughter," she revealed. "That was quite weird for me because I didn't expect that. A lot of parents said that it was really good for their kids to watch."
Navigating Public Scrutiny
The Andre siblings acknowledged the challenges of living in the public eye, with Junior describing some attention as "unwanted" at times. "It's not nice when people have bad things to say especially when it's to do with your family," he said. "Everyone wants to just get on with their lives, and being in the public eye means that we get a lot of unwanted attention."
Princess added her perspective on media accuracy, noting, "A lot of people don't actually check if something's true or not. Most of the time it's not actually accurate information." She emphasized that the new season aims to provide clarity, saying, "This season of Princess Diaries is more from our point of view, and clearing up a few things because there's a lot of background noise and people just believe anything."
Focusing on Independence and Authenticity
For the upcoming second season, Princess promises viewers a more personal journey. "This whole season is about me being independent, pushing myself out of my comfort zone and doing things that I wouldn't usually," she explained. "Honestly, I think people will love it because I'm just living my life as an 18 year old girl and I think that's what people want to see."
Despite her enthusiasm, Princess acknowledged the demanding nature of her schedule with a laugh, confessing, "I don't think I've had a break though... It's been non stop!" With ITV already commissioning a third season of The Princess Diaries, the young star's busy lifestyle shows no signs of slowing.
The Princess Diaries series 2 premieres on ITV2 on March 8, offering audiences a fresh perspective on Princess Andre's journey toward independence while navigating the complexities of family relationships in the public spotlight.
