Princess Andre ‘wishes she had a happier childhood' as she opens up about Katie Price marriage split and ‘dark times'

The teen opened up about having counselling in her new reality series dear diary Princess Andre 'wishes she had a happier childhood' as she opens up about Katie Price marriage split and 'dark times' PRINCESS Andre says she "wishes she had a happier childhood" as she opens up about mum Katie Price's marriage split. The 18-year-old is the daughter of Katie Price and her first husband Peter Andre. 6 Princess Andre has spoken about how she wishes she'd 'had a happier childhood' in her new reality series Credit: princessandrex/Snapchat 6 Princess is the daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre Credit: Getty 6 But Princess was hit hard by Katie's divorce from third husband Kieran Hayler when she was 11 years old Credit: Alamy 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 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." I wouldn't say I'm fully, fully recovered from it Princess Andre 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." 6 Princess was close to Kieran and said things went 'downhill' for her mum after the messy split Credit: Getty - Contributor 6 Princess said she has had counselling for what she went through when she was younger Credit: Getty 6 The 18-year-old is super close to Katie and said her famous mum had 'fixed herself' in recent years Credit: Splash The Princess Diaries begins on Sunday at 9pm on ITV2 and will be available as a boxset drop on ITVX.

The world No.1 women's tennis player is now sunning it up in Miami as the US Open approaches.
