Princess Andre, 17, Hits Back At Online Trolls After Buying $13,000 Car

Princess Andre, the daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre, has clapped back at critics who claimed she didn’t buy her £10,000 (approx. $13,500) car with her own money.

The 17-year-old, who recently passed her driving test, took to Instagram to share a photo of her white Audi A1.

The vehicle featured a personalized number plate reading: “Princess.”

Highlights
  • Princess Andre defended herself after critics claimed her famous parents had bought her a £10,000 Audi A1 after she passed her driving test.
  • Princess said she was “proud” and “lucky” to have bought the car herself.
  • The 17-year-old is a model and is currently filming her own ITV reality show.

However, instead of congratulating the teen on her new purchase, several commenters questioned whether Princess had actually bought the vehicle herself.

    “Who bought your new car??? Bet your dad did,” one critic wrote on Instagram.

    “Let’s just say Mummy and Daddy bought your new car,” another user speculated.

    Princess denied the claims, explaining that she bought the Audi with money she earned herself.

    “These comments are so funny,” she wrote. “To everyone out there, yes, I work, and yes, I earn my own money, which I’m super proud of and so thankful that I am lucky enough to buy my own car xx.”

    The British influencer’s mother is Katie Price, a model who has appeared on a number of reality shows since the early 2000s, including Celebrity Big Brother and I’m a Celebrity, as well as her own shows, such as Katie Price: My Crazy Life.

    Princess’ father, whom Katie met on I’m a Celebrity, is British-Australian singer Peter Andre. In addition to appearing in Strictly Come Dancing, he starred in a reality show with his ex-wife called Katie & Peter.

    The couple, who divorced in 2009, also share a son, Junior Savva.

    In the comments, Katie congratulated her daughter on her achievement, adding that she was both “proud and so scared” to see Princess behind the wheel.

    “My baby girl turns 18 next month too, so lots of exciting things we will be doing together,” the mom wrote.

    Peter revealed that his teenage daughter had failed her driving test four times before finally receiving the green light. “But you know what they say – or maybe don’t say!” the singer wrote. “The fifth time’s a charm.”

    “As I said to her, it’s actually better that it’s taken a while for her to pass because at least she knows now that she genuinely deserves to pass, and she can feel confident on the roads,” he continued.

    “I went in the car with her the other day, and she was actually really good.”

    Though Katie and Andre reportedly gave Princess’ older brother a £25,000 (approx. $33,700) car when he passed his test, the influencer decided not to accept the gift and paid for it herself.

    As reported by The Sun, Princess has brand deals with companies like the beauty chain Superdrug and the retailer PrettyLittleThing, in addition to launching her own jewelry line.

    Several commenters questioned whether the car was a gift from her parents, suggesting that Katie or Peter Andre had paid for it

    She will also be the star of an ITV reality show focused on her modelling career, family dynamics, and her life as a soon-to-be eighteen-year-old.

    The series will reportedly not devote much screen time to her famous parents, as Princess hopes it will help launch her catwalk career.

    “Bagging her own TV show is a huge deal, but producers are keen to stress it is about her and not her famous parents,” an insider told The Sun, adding that Katie remains “a big inspiration” to her daughter.

    “Both Katie and Peter are likely to feature, though it will likely be more as cameo stars.”

    Princess has five step-siblings: Amelia and Theo on her father’s side, and Harvey, Jett, and Bunny on her mother’s side.

    The young star, who has vowed to become a millionaire before she turns 20, shared that she wants to be “[her] own person” as she takes her first steps in the industry.

    “It’s about taking my time, figuring it out as I go. I know I want to be very successful. I’m going into an industry I really enjoy. This is something I want to do,” she stated.

    A separate source told The Daily Mail that the 17-year-old “is a complete natural” in front of the camera, and the crew “has been really impressed with her attitude and professionalism.”

    The insider revealed: “She’s got a lot going on, so there’s plenty of great stuff for them to film. It’s a really exciting time for Princess.”

    People reacted to the news of Princess’ important purchase ahead of her 18th birthday

    How did the Birth Registry let her be registered with that name?

    I full-on thought she was a younger child of a European country's noble family. Like, a princess named Andre. I've never heard of her OR her parents XD

    The whole thing, including the fact that it's on BP, is pitiful.

    what's this article about. Do people really care about what celebrities do and buy. If they do, it's a sad life.

    So what if her parents may or may not have spent $13,500 on a car for her. It's not like they bought a Maybach. Most middle class families help their kids get a used first car

    Let’s just hope she doesn’t follow in her mothers footsteps and display a blatant disregard for other people’s safety by getting pissed out her gourd and driving!

    10K pounds for THAT car? I think she paid those 10K (I personally met people of that age who made that kind of money after getting a head start from parents), but does she know that the other 70% of the car's price probably came from her parents...
