Princess Andre candidly admits she wished she had a happier childhood

Princess Andre has said she wished she had a happier childhood.

The 18-year-old daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre made the candid admission on her new TV show, The Princess Diaries.

On the show, Princess also opened up about how she has received counselling - and that she sometimes still sees a counsellor.

Katie and Peter split in 2009 after four years of marriage, when Princess was just two years old.

"I did have a counsellor, I do still see her every now and then,” the influencer, who has 760,000 followers, said.

"But I don't feel like I can really talk, so I just write everything down in my notes.”

Princess then candidly added: “I do wish, like, I could have had a more happier childhood.

“In the sense of like, I had so many things on my plate at a young age.”

However, Princess did add she had "good times" when she was growing up.

She also discussed her mum’s split from ex-husband Kieran Hayler, which happened when Princess was 10. Kieran and Katie share two children, Jett and Bunny.

"My mum, obviously being heartbroken, didn't deal with that in the best way, she went through a very, very dark time, which is understandable," Princess added.

"Which is hard for me because I was around adulty things that kids should never see and I think as well, when we needed our mum there, she wasn't emotionally able to be there because she had so much of her own problems going on."

She did add that she feels her mum is now a new person, adding: “I wouldn't say I'm fully, fully recovered from it but mum is such a different person and if you put her now to back then, she's genuinely really fixed herself.’

Last month, Katie announced plans to bring back her former alter ego, Jordan, as she becomes the first British celebrity to trademark her own artificial intelligence image.

The 47-year-old glamour model has partnered with tech firm OhChat to create an AI version of her younger self, complete with a cloned voice and animated avatar.

The OnlyFans star is said to have recorded 30 phrases to help bring the virtual Jordan to life — including lines such as, “I like going horse riding,” and “This week for dinner I’ve got beef burgers.”

Speaking to The Sun, she shared her excitement, saying: “The Jordan days were the best days of my life. This AI move is so clever — it’s a genius idea, and it’s a way for me to feel like her again.

“Jordan’s back, and now I’m in competition with Jordan. I love it.”
