I think that Peter Andre treated Katie badly and now it seems like the kids have turned on her?

Shes not allowed to be on Princess' show apparently

Yes, and yet some on here are more concerned about a mature and intelligent 36 year old mother of three, who's been married for over ten years (happily, if you believe what you can quite clearly see) because they think she married too young.

I think people just like to gossip. That's why sometimes you get threads that OP has only made one post, never returned but you get hundreds of gossiping, guessing, bitching, henclucking replies.
Literally hundreds!

I'm as guilty, because I enjoy reading them 😁

If you watch Princess Diaries you’ll see that Princess and Junior have very strict boundaries put in place by Peter. They seem decent kids and Emily being in their lives has obviously helped. She has a great relationship with her stepdaughter according to Princess.
Princess definitely does not want to follow her mum’s footsteps but go down the Kylie Jenner beauty business route - good on her why not? KP obviously wants to step into Princesses world despite letting her down in the past.
I think Peter gets a very bad press for trying to earn a crust - I watched his reality show with KP and the way she spoke to him was awful.
Marrying Emily was probably the best thing he’s done, she seems lovely.

Not really. We have laws that are a basic failsafe and often use our judgement to create a pleasant society that is well beyond that base minimum. It is illegal (affray) to shout in the street, and polite to say excuse me/thankyou.

I’m not suggesting either Princess’s career or EAs marriage are illegal, but simply potentially decisions both could have had more time to make.

Well what a load of nonsense
People can be working in highly responsible professionals younger than 25. ( nurses, teachers etc). And how old was she when she married PA. Wasn't she 24 ! Hardly young.
talk about infantalising the younger generations!

It’s not an informed choice at 18. Adults don’t fully develop their judgement centres in their brains until they’re 25. She is an adult legally but as responsible parents they might realise she is a young adult and therefore may benefit from some protection from over exposure. FWIW this is also why I have a problem with PA marrying EA when she was so young!

So you shouldn’t be empowered to make decisions about your career and future until youre 25?

Well Harvey is 100% being pimped out as he cant consent at all. And yet she is there now flogging him on Cameo for thirty odd quid a time. He wont see any of that money, and she has allegedly already spent the trust fund that Dwight set up for Harvey.

That is absolutely disgusting

Katie Price neglects her children so badly they are taken into care, and lies about it for years, but it’s all Peter Andres fault.
Go figure.

Well, take that argument to its logical conclusion and you'd need to raise the legal age for marriage to 25 then? For everyone? Or just Emily Andre?

She is 18. She can do what she wants as she is legally an adult. She wants to be a businesswoman and this is how she has chosen to do it. She is very different to the Love Island types. She is doing ok.

And I wish everyone would stop using the word “pimped”. How would you like it if someone said that about you and your kids?

I don’t think the kids are being pimped - clearly it’s their choice and preferable - more lucrative and more flexible than getting a 9-5.

FishersGate · 17/08/2025 06:34

I agree. Considering KP is the one at fault here no one is mentioning the fact a 16yr daughter being allowed to follow in her mother's footsteps. Why hasn't PA put princess off showbiz etc

Only Katie Price could interviews about what a great mum she is whilst having her children taken into care. Her naive idiot fan girls will defend her to the hilt, it’s never, ever her fault.

FishersGate · 17/08/2025 06:42

Have you seen the awkward video of preparing a kids snack of literally cut up veg? She's quite clearly uncomfortable in front of the camera why do it? Where has her career in medicine gone now with young children and an aging husband who is desperate to hang onto his fame also

She can still have her head screwed on & be a great step mum. And I'm the same age as PA. I'm definitely not aging thanks very much!

Motherofacertainage · 17/08/2025 07:03

The misogyny on this thread is next level!! Whatever mistakes she has made, you’ve got to admire the way KP made a fortune exploiting what she had when clearly she did not come from as privileged or educated background as most of her critics. The woman needs help and I feel increasingly sorry for her tbh. I also think whoever has advised Princess to go into the reality / influencer world is thinking more about their own advantage than the girl’s wellbeing. She seems like a sweet kid and I hope she’s ok.

edited to add: the production company are very happy to use the publicity that goes alongside anything to do with Katie Price. Let’s face it, she’s a very attractive girl but viewers are mainly interested because iof who her mother is. A programme about one of Andre’s kids with the new wife would have very few people interested I’m sure.

It’s odd because usually when influencers use their children to promote their brand or whatever they’re trying to sell. Mumsnet users are all over it and even saying that it should be illegal to deny children of their privacy.

However when Peter Andre does it, people are ok with it and see it as an opportunity and that he’s a great dad.

Also people can’t seem to comprehend that just because some of us can see straight through PAs fake bullshit, it doesn’t mean that we are defending KPs indefensible behaviour.

If Princess and Junior can make a good life for themselves in showbiz then fair enough, but for many it’s 5 minutes of fame and then a road to nowhere. Unless you have a genuine talent or something to offer.

I agree. Considering KP is the one at fault here no one is mentioning the fact a 16yr daughter being allowed to follow in her mother's footsteps. Why hasn't PA put princess off showbiz etc

GrannyWeatherwaxxx · 16/08/2025 17:15

This.

All the adults involved here at dickheads. And why has their child got her own show? She is being shoehorned as the next big thing so she can keep them all relevant and make their next buck. Her older brother’s pop career hasn’t take off so instead they will all pimp out this kid for fame and fortune. She will be on Love Island in a few years.

And it’s working. It’s all disgusting.

Do you think the attached story from the Daily Mail in 2018 relates to KP? 2018 Daily Mail story

No that was allegedly Trisha Penrose.

Truetoself · 17/08/2025 06:19

Princess said in the programme that she wished she bad a happier childhood. That was sad.
I am still to see any vile behaviour from
Pete - I don’t understand how he is thought to be controlling etc
A lot of kids want to emulate their parents - so why not Princess and Junior?
Emily and Peter seems well suited. However their ahe gap is a bit icky…..

Thechickenisburning · 16/08/2025 22:09

I feel so sorry for those wee kids 😔

I found this article regarding the two youngest, written at the end of last year. I get the impression that this is the maximum the author could say about the situation.
https://metro.co.uk/2024/12/10/katie-price-reveals-no-longer-see-youngest-children-jett-11-bunny-10-22157181/

It's obvious KP is lying and she has been forced to stop posting any pictures of the children.
I hope they are being well looked after and can spend their teenage years in a stable environment.

Katie Price reveals why we no longer see her youngest children Jett and Bunny

The star no longer shares photos of her youngest children.

"Classy statement?" From Katie Price? (or rather from whoever wrote it for her - she can barely string a lucid sentence together herself).
I've never read such a manipulative load of old shit. And for a start there aren't people who are "just" sinners or "just" saints. There are shades of grey in between in all people.
And if she'd stopped at "I know I'm not perfect" then I MIGHT have had some grudging admiration. But she just HAD to keep going and turn it into a slagging off. And after yesterday's post saying she didn't see the need for entering a 'tit-for-tat' exchange. And now here we are.

I think the classiest statement of all would have been no statement. Just silence, beautiful pure silence.

And now the media reckons the ex boyfriends are coming in to bat for PA. The whole lot of them are ridiculous. But it is quite entertaining. (A good distraction from the terrible things going on in the world).
