Princess Andre, 17, is spitting image of mum Katie Price as she hosts first-ever fan meet and greet
Princess Andre held her first ever fan meet and greet on Saturday 21 September in her role as brand ambassador for Superdrug’s Studio London beauty range. The daughter of Peter Andre and Katie Price, Princess, sporting long wavy hair, looked like her famous mum as she met fans and gave away goodie bags to the first 100 people who bought one of the range’s products at the Superdrug store at Bluewater shopping centre in Kent.
Princess, who boasts more than 700,000 followers on Instagram, already has a fashion jewellery range with Luxe Jewellery and a collaboration with fashion brand PrettyLittleThing among other deals, and is fast becoming a successful model. Katie has described her daughter as a “mini me,” and in a chat on Olivia Atwood’s So Wrong It’s Right podcast in the summer, she said: "I want Princess do her thing and not have mum by her side - let her enjoy it, and let them graft like how I had to, and they'll appreciate it more. I don't like it when you get kids who are given it on a plate. They need to learn the work ethic."
Princess, meanwhile, spoke to OK! at the end of last year about her career plans, following her first solo photo shoot without her family. “I’m really excited because I think it’s nice for people to get to know me and understand where I’m coming from – and not just think they know me for who my parents are.” She chatted about the beauty therapy course she was taking, too. “I’ve never done anything like this course before, but I’m really looking forward to it. It’s just beauty with me and other people, so it’ll be good for my social skills too.”

"I’ve always loved make-up and fashion, since I was really young,” she added. “Obviously, my mum introduced me to make-up when I was younger, and I used to play with Barbies and do their make-up. And I had one of those doll heads that you put make-up on, and was always playing around with it.”

Growing up in the public eye with two famous parents, Princess is wise beyond her years, especially when it comes to dealing with social media. “When something exciting happens, it’s great to let people know,” she told OK! “I get lots of support and it makes me feel so grateful to know the public care. But if I want to keep something private, I will. I think it’s very, very important to keep some things in my life private. It’s good mentally not to have everyone know your business.”
She is also experienced in dealing with negative comments online. “When I came across my first hate comment, I didn’t really know how to react. I wasn’t necessarily upset with it because growing up with known parents it was a normal thing for it to happen to them, so I saw loads of comments and how my parents both reacted. They said the best way to deal with it is to ignore it. I decided to delete the comment and forget about it and over time I became less bothered."
