At just 18, Princess Andre has opened up about the extraordinary bond she shares with her stepmother Emily, describing her as “the perfect stepmother” and crediting her with giving her a stable, loving home after a turbulent childhood with her mother, Katie Price.
Speaking in her ITV series The Princess Diaries, Princess revealed how Emily became a constant source of guidance and comfort from the age of three, balancing her medical studies with raising Princess and her brother, Junior. The influence of Emily’s steady presence has been profound, helping Princess navigate the emotional aftermath of her early years.
A family insider said Princess holds “deep respect and admiration” for Emily:
“She knows how hard it must have been, but Emily never let it show. Princess now realises just how special she is.”
The close relationship was especially evident during a recent heartbreak, when Princess turned to Emily for support. Emily reassured her, encouraging self-care and telling her, “You’re a big catch.” Princess also reflected on seeking counselling, explaining she “couldn’t just go to dad” due to her parents’ difficult relationship. About her mother, she added:
“She’s unpredictable and lives life like she doesn’t care. I love that about her, but deep down I cry about it.”
Despite the emotional challenges of her upbringing, Princess is now thriving — signing major beauty and fashion deals and carving out her own path separate from her mother’s controversies. Last year, she summed up her feelings in one heartfelt sentence:
“She’s the perfect stepmother. I couldn’t have asked for better.”
Princess Andre’s story is a reminder that strong, loving support — even from a step-parent — can help heal past wounds and shape a bright future.
