The couple had an explosive split in 2009 after four years of marriage, when Princess was just two years old.
While Princess was too young to really remember her parents together, she has traumatic memories of the breakdown of Katie's third marriage to Kieran Hayler.
In her new ITV2 series - The Princess Diaries - the teen opens up about her younger years and admits: "I did have a counsellor, I do still see her every now and then.
"But I don't feel like I can really talk, so I just write everything down in my notes.
"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."
She continued: "I wish sometimes that I wasn't like that and I could have actually enjoyed...not had things in the back of my mind so young."
Katie, 47, and Kieran were married from 2013 until 2018, when they split following his extramarital affair with Katie's best friend.
Speaking to the camera, Princess said: "Obviously I had amazing times in my childhood, I have amazing memories from when I was younger with my mum and my dad, and I also have not so good memories of the time when my mum and Kieran split up, when I was like, 10 years old.
"He was in our lives for like five years, so we got really close to him and we loved him.
"He did a lot of stuff and when they split up, everything kind of went downhill.
Emotional Peter Andre reveals strict rule for Princess and Junior
"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.
"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."
Princess added how she would regularly come home from school and "get into bed and cry" over things people were saying or asking in the school ground relating to her famous mum.
She added: "I would never go and speak to my dad about it because I obviously have always grown up with 'my mum and dad don't like each other' which is fair enough, they're not going to."
Princess concluded: "I could speak about my childhood and be absolutely fine, but then once something sets me off and then I actually deep everything, I'm like 'Oh my God, like no'.
"And then it makes me think that I'm still not over anything or still not really healed from what's happened.
"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."

YouTubers help migrants exploit visa loopholes
YouTubers are coaching migrants on how to use visa loopholes to get to the UK, it has emerged. Videos on the streaming platform giving tips on how to use a charity visa to bring your family to Britain have gained tens of thousands of views. A charity visa is designed to allow foreign nationals to volunteer in the UK for up to a year, but YouTubers have been telling viewers how to use it to bring in dependents, who can then do paid work. Kelvin Ossai, a Nigerian 'lifestyle and relocation content creator', uploaded a video for prospective migrants called: 'Move to the UK on (a) charity visa for FREE.' He told viewers: 'The good catch here is that while you're working in the voluntary job and you're getting (a) stipend, your dependent has unlimited hours to work so they can actually get a full-time job and support the family.' In the video, first reported on by The Times, he added: 'Most churches in the UK are charity organisations. Most of them have the licence to sponsor you on a charity visa… Don't say I told you this.' Mr Ossai told prospective migrants that they could use their volunteering position and ensuing visa as 'a leverage to bring in your family to the UK'. Meanwhile, Tochi Esther, a YouTuber, interviewed a woman who moved her family to the UK using a charity visa. The interviewee said: 'Luckily for me as a volunteer working in the nursery, I was being paid as a volunteer. You still get paid as a volunteer, so I still get paid somehow. 'My husband can do any type of work… He works anywhere and as many hours as possible.' The video was made private after The Times approached Ms Esther for comment. But she told the newspaper: 'The video in question featured a guest sharing her personal experience of obtaining a charity worker visa and relocating to the UK with her family. 'At no point did the video offer immigration advice, nor do I provide such advice on my platform. I clearly stated in the video that it was not immigration advice and that viewers should seek proper guidance from qualified professionals or official sources.' The Times also reported that an immigration lawyer on TikTok was producing videos coaching migrants on how to submit applications that 'almost always win'. Sherissa Cupid-Bennett, who describes herself as a UK-based immigration lawyer, reportedly told followers one of the most reliable methods for claiming asylum in the UK was to submit a claim on the basis that 'you converted from Islam to another religion'. The newspaper reported that a video called 'Three types of asylum claims with the best chance of success' included her telling viewers: 'As long as the immigration officer believes you, believes that you are telling the truth and that you converted from Islam to another religion, you are almost always certain to win your asylum claim. 'Also, you have evidence to support your asylum claim. There are news reports, there are news articles that show that there is serious harm in the country of origin if you return because you converted from Islam to another religion.' There is no suggestion that Ms Cupid-Bennett is coaching applicants to lie to authorities or commit any wrongdoing. Mr Ossai told The Telegraph: 'When I mention leverage in connection with visa routes, I'm talking about legal, Home Office‑approved pathways like the UK Charity Worker visa.' He added: 'Everything I share is based on UK government policy and aimed at helping people use legal, structured routes to contribute meaningfully to society.' Mr Ossai said his goal had 'always been to support ethical migration – helping people understand the rules, follow them and give back while building a life here'. A Home Office spokesman said: 'Under our Plan for Change, our upcoming immigration white paper will set out a comprehensive plan to restore order to our broken immigration system, which includes cracking down on those who look to exploit our visa routes. 'We keep our visa and asylum systems under constant review to ensure they are not open to exploitation and where we detect trends which may undermine our immigration rules, we will not hesitate to take action.'

Big Brother star Charley Uchea gets engaged just weeks after being ‘left for dead' in car smash
CHARLEY Uchea is a bride-to-be after becoming engaged just weeks after she was "left for dead." The Big Brothe r alum flashed her very bling diamond ring in a new Instagram video in which she confessed "I'm not where I'm used to be." 7 7 7 7 Charley, who shot to fame on the eight series of Big Brother in 2007, has battled a rough few weeks following a nasty car smash, which saw her left in hospital after her vehicle was hit by a truck. Now Charley, 40, has found fresh happiness with her man, 43, who she has been dating since late last year but has not named. In a clip uploaded to her main grid, the spy house contestant was seen admiring her new bling as she perched on a sofa in a grey robe. She flashed an adoring glance at her left hand as she held it up in front of her face. Charley then panned in for a close-up of the sparkling diamond before she added the caption: "A real man leads with love, protects with presence and builds with purpose." In her caption Charley, who stunned fans with her unrecognisable look last year, she continued in her caption: "Two things I know for sure — I'm not where I used to be, and God is still leading me somewhere greater." One fan then posted: "Congratulations beautiful God bless your union." A second posted: "Jheeeeeezzzeee love to see this Congratulations to you both." A third wrote: "So happy for you." One then added: "I know that's right … A REAL MAN GONNA STEP !!!EVERY TIME CONGRATS QUEEN." STRONG BOND During her time on Big Brother, Charley was known for her fiery temper. She often clashed with fellow housemate Chanelle Hayes, 36, and had a memorable 'fake' eviction. Charley was evicted on day 59 of Big Brother 8, placing her in 14th. Recently, the star stunned fans as she posed in a series of semi-sheer lingerie and showed off wads of cash. Alleging that she was her "own bank", Charley wrote: "F*** a bank lol. "I have my own bank." Earlier this year, Charley and her man went viral after she admitted he covered all her expenses - despite only being together for five months at the time. As the interviewer asked if their relationship was leading to marriage she said: "I hope it is, because I love him." He replied: "Yeah I am proposing to her soon, she changed my life. "Literally, the way she love me is way different to how any other woman has loved me. "It's not about money I'm a very successful seven figure entrepreneur. "So it aint about money or luxury, she loves me for me." He added: "I pay for everything, there aint no 50/50 in this relationship," before Charley insisted she paid for the "odd meal." HOSPITAL HORROR Just last month, Charley posted a clip showing her in hospital after her horror accident. She said: 'Look at the damage this truck did just by hitting me, then leaves me [for] dead on the side of the road.' Iconic housemate Charley looked to be in a lot of pain as she showed off some nasty bruises on her face. She added: 'Bless my nurse brushing my hair out, I can't really use my arms atm I'm so weak.' 7 7
