Katie Price apologised to daughter Princess over her heartbreak
Moving scenes on ITV's The Princess Diaries set to air on August 10 Princess Andre has revealed her mum, Katie Price, said sorry to her over the messy fallout from the Kieran Hayler divorce. The 18-year-old famous offspring invited the cameras into her life with the fly-on-the-wall documentary, The Princess Diaries, where she has the opportunity to share a more vulnerable side. Wearing her heart on her sleeve in the first episode, which is due to air on August 10, she spoke about the moment her mum apologised to her. Price was married to Hayler from 2013, and they separated in 2018 when it emerged he had cheated on the former glamour model. In the years they were together, they raised their two children — Jett and Bunny — as well as Price's older children — Princess, Junior and Harvey. Looking back on those five years, Princess said they had grown "close" to Hayler. "We loved him," she told the cameras. Price and Hayler's break-up played out very publicly in the newspaper headlines. The Princess Diaries reminded viewers of one of those hard-hitting headlines: Katie Price hit breaking point and attempted suicide after Kieran Hayler split. Speaking from the heart, Princess said her mother went through a "dark time". "I wouldn't say I'm fully recovered from it," she said. However, the influencer said her mum has "fixed" herself after the breakdown of her third marriage and apologised to her for the impact it had on her. Now Princess is older, she has become best friends with her mum and they do a lot together. "Mum is such a different person," she explained. "She's genuinely really fixed herself. She spoke to me about this. I realised that I should never, she apologised, I never wanted an apology from her. It was a lot that she acknowledged it: 'you are my kids and I love you and I need to prioritise you'. We are so close now. We do a lot together. I love her. She's my best friend." The Princess Diaries' main star explained Price hadn't dealt with the break up well because she was "heartbroken". "She went through a dark time," she said. "It was hard me for adult-y thing you shouldn't have to go through [as a child]. Everything that happened the press picked up on, they would write stories constantly. I would go into school asking me questions about it cos they'd seen it in the papers. I would get into bed and cry." Princess kept how she was truly feeling from her dad Peter Andre because of her parents' ongoing feud. She said: "I would never go speak to my dad about it. I'd grown up knowing my mum and dad don't like each other." Due to this feud, Price has been banned from filming The Princess Diaries. Princess had to move out of her house (albeit temporarily) so she could live full-time at her dad Andre's home for filming. Although Price was banned from the show, Princess found a way to get her involved by asking her mum to film a voice note for her. The Princess Diaries airs on ITV2 and ITVX on Sunday.

Hugo Boss Sales Rise in Q2, Operating Profit Up 15%
BERLIN – German menswear specialist Hugo Boss managed to hold onto growth in the second quarter of 2025. The brand saw sales rise 1 percent on a currency adjusted basis to 1.01 billion euros between April and June. That was slightly above expectations. Market analysts had expected Hugo Boss to bring in around 998 million euros over the three months. More from WWD Queen Letizia of Spain Embraces Tailored Confidence in Boss for Royal Engagement Hugo Boss' Hugo Line Debuts 3D-Printed Loafer With Zellerfeld During Paris Fashion Week Who Won the NBA Draft? The results mean that over the first half of the year, the company has tallied 2 billion euros in sales, flat on a currency adjusted basis. 'The second quarter of 2025 was once again marked by a challenging macroeconomic and industry environment, with global consumer confidence remaining at a low level,' Hugo Boss chief executive Daniel Grieder said in a statement. But, he added, 'we delivered solid top- and bottom-line improvements.' The company's mainstay, Boss menswear, drove growth in the second quarter and sales of this category rose 5 percent to 808 million euros. Boss womenswear slipped 8 percent to 62 million euros and Hugo, the more casual line, slid 12 percent to 132 million euros. Sales in Hugo Boss' all-important home market of Europe, the Middle East and Africa rose 3 percent, currency adjusted, to 618 million euros. Hugo Boss reported a slight decline in the United Kingdom but this was offset by better business in Germany and France, the company noted. In the Americas, where Hugo Boss has been pushing hard to become a 24/7 lifestyle brand, sales grew 2 percent to 236 million euros. After a 'softer start' to the year in North America, the company was now seeing gains there, Hugo Boss said. In the Asia Pacific region, sales fell 5 percent to 124 million euros. Demand in China was 'particularly subdued.' The brightest spot on Hugo Boss' balance sheet for the second quarter came in terms of earnings before interests and taxes, or EBIT, an important indicator of day-to-day profitability. In the second quarter, Hugo Boss' EBIT rose 15 percent to 81 million euros, above market consensus. This equals a 2 percent rise, in currency adjusted terms, over the first six months of 2025. The company has been focused on controlling costs and increasing efficiencies, executives have repeatedly said. Over the same period last year, EBIT fell by 42 percent. As a result of steady sales during the first half of the year, Hugo Boss confirmed its guidance for the year. The German brand still expects group sales in 2025 to end up somewhere between a fall of 2 percent and an increase of 2 percent, with sales between 4.2 billion euros and 4.4 billion euros. It also forecasts that EBIT will total between 380 million euros and 440 million euros for the whole year.

Katie Price involved in daughter Princess' ITV show despite filming ban
Princess didn't want her mum to miss out completely on filming for her reality series, The Princess Diaries Katie Price's daughter Princess has found a fun way to include her mum in her ITV series, The Princess Diaries, after she was banned from making an appearance. The Princess Diaries shines a spotlight on the famous offspring as she wants to make a name for herself in the spotlight in her own right. Her famous mum Price was banned from appearing on the fly-on-the-wall documentary, meaning her daughter had to move out of her house (albeit temporarily). But Princess, 18, didn't want her mum to completely miss out. The influencer had a fun way to get her mum in her series, regardless of the ban. She decided to ask both her parents, Price and Peter Andre, who was the naughtiest child via voice note. Recording her message, she said: "Hey mum, me and Junior are having a discussion. We wanna know." Junior replied: "Who was the naughtiest kid growing up? Out of me and Princess. If you respond… It's going to be filmed." Princess gave her mum some advice. She said: "Keep it PG! Love you." The teenager admitted her mum's household was "chaotic... in a good way... in a funny way" growing up. Junior said there were "lots of rules" at their dad's house. Katie Price has her say on The Princess Diaries Price wasn't going to miss out on the opportunity on playing a part in her daughter's reality series so she doesn't wait long to reply. "So who was the naughtiest child?" She said cheekily in a filmed voice note response. "Well, you was a mummy's girl. So you used to push me more and probably get away with things." The former glamour model decided it was indeed Princess who was the naughtiest because she could be just like herself. "So yeah, i'd probably say you were more naughty actually," she said. "You were still very much like me. But you were different. You're more sensible. The answer to your question, you was more naughty." Then playfully she shouted down the phone recording: "YOU NAUGHTY GIRL." After the heartwarming message, Princess decided she wanted to give her mum a call in real-time. Price answered the phone in Dubai but Princess hung up in a panic. Her mum appeared topless on camera — although you see nothing in the reality series. "Love you, bye!" Princess told her. "She had her boobs out!" She explained. "She's there casually out of the shower topless, she doesn't care. I was like 'Oh my god. I could never answer the phone'. She'll be like, 'You're with people?' When I answer the phone, she's so unpredictable. She lives life. She doesn't care." Princess shared she admired her mum's carefree attitude in life. "I really, really look up to that," she said. "I would love to have that mindset: I don't care." However, she admitted: "Deep down, I do care. I'll go to my bed and cry and cry. On my own, I don't handle it well. To other people I handle it well." Why is Katie Price banned from The Princess Diaries? Price was banned from filming with her daughter in the documentary series. It meant she was unable to attend her daughter's 18th birthday party because it took place in front of the cameras. Andre's management, CAN Associates, is behind the documentary; the same company that represented Price when the famous exes were in a relationship. CAN worked on the ITV reality series Katie and Peter that made the exes millions at the time. After the break up, Price has been locked in a feud with Andre and his management. Sometimes their fights have played out very publicly in the headlines. ITV has no comment on Price being banned from the series. Price spoke about being banned from the series in episode "A First Class B****" on The Katie Price Show podcast with her younger sister Sophie. At the same time, she appeared to take aim at Andre and his management. She said: "Of course, Mummy wasn't invited [to the 18th birthday for Princess] because it was for filming... The fact there is stuff my daughter is doing but I'm not allowed to be seen in any of it because it's for filming, then certain people who are filming her used to be in charge of my filming. "That's all I'm saying on it. That's fine. Conflict of interest. People will cotton on to it. So yeah, we've got to do something for Princess' 18th. I did say, did she want a blow-up club in the garden? But she's like nah." The Princess Diaries airs on ITV2 and ITVX on Sunday.
