Princess Andre's celebrates 18th birthday in stunning shoot - see all the pics

Princess Andre is soon to turn 18 and has very big plans for her future. Here, she exclusively shares her hopes and dreams and spills a few fun family secrets With just days to go before she turns 18, Princess Andre is beside herself with excitement. Not only has she just purchased a top-of-the-range Audi as a present to herself – with a bit of help from her dad – she's also planning several celebrations. But there's one person who's struggling with the imminent milestone and that's her beloved father, Peter. 'He's so proud and so supportive, but I think it's hard to see your kid get older,' Princess tells us as she poses up a storm on our exclusive birthday shoot. 'He was the first person I took for a drive in the new car. We were listening to music and suddenly I heard him sobbing. I was like, 'Are you okay?' And he admitted it was weird for him to see me grow up.' ‌ ‌ While Pete might need a bit of time to get his head around his little girl's transition to adulthood, fans who have followed Princess over the years will know she's an incredibly clued-up, grounded young lady, who often seems wise beyond her years. And chatting in the run-up to her big day, it's clear even her choice of celebration is more mature than most 18-year-olds. 'To be honest, I'm not fussed on doing a big thing,' she says. 'I'll be very happy with a quiet dinner and maybe going somewhere after, so long as it's memorable and the people I love – my family and friends – are with me. I've left it in my dad and Emily's hands. It's going to be a surprise.' Princess is more than happy to let her dad take the reins. 'I know whatever they have planned will be really good because they get things done, and they know my tastes and what I like, so I'm sure between them they'll sort something amazing,' Princess says. 'I've got lots of things planned with my friends. We always have such a great time together.' And how will she be celebrating with her mum, Katie Price? Following Katie's split from Peter in 2009 they share Princess – known in the family as Bista – and her brother Junior, 20. ‌ 'Maybe we'll have a nice dinner together. I'm sure Mum will have something planned for me,' Princess tells us. One thing you won't see her doing is going off the rails and falling out of a club just because she can legally drink now. 'I'm not really a big drinker or a big party-goer, but it'll be nice to be able to go to pubs and stuff with my friends,' Princess says. 'But at the same time, I'm not the sort of person who would embarrass myself. I'll never put myself in a position that would make me look bad.' ‌ This is typical Princess. She's so driven, motivated and committed to her brand and business aspirations that she won't let anything get in the way of her reputation. ‌ With a huge fanbase (she boasts more than 1.7m followers across Instagram, TikTok and Snapchat), Princess is well on the way to becoming the British Kylie Jenner. It's worth noting that Kylie is worth £525 million thanks to her make-up range. 'I love Kylie, I really look up to her,' Princess says, adding that influencer Molly-Mae Hague is also a huge inspiration. 'The goal is to follow these women in creating a really successful business and brand. That's really the biggest thing I'm looking forward to in adulthood,' she says. 'The fact that I won't be a child any more opens up more opportunities. When you're older, more brands want to work with you. It's scary, because being 18 means I'll have a lot more of my own responsibilities, but I'm really focused on building as much as I can for my future in the right way, with the right people around me.' ‌ Those plans include a beauty range, which Princess teases will be 'really exciting', and a reality show in which Princess – already a TV veteran thanks to her famous parents – will be the star. 'It's an ITV show that will be about me and the Andre side of the family,' she tells us. 'It'll be going beyond what you see on Insta or TikTok, this will be all of me. I'm going to be very real.' ‌ We ask if the prospect of heading up her own show is daunting and she says, 'I think it's scary because even though I'm used to being in my parents' shows and I've always been put out there, now it's about me. 'It'll be weird not focusing on my dad. He and Emily will be on it, though, in the background. And Junior too. We're great together, we really bounce off each other well, so he'll be a big part of it. Mainly, I want people to see I'm a good person. 'A lot of people do tell me I'm humble and nice, which I love. But there is a lot of responsibility attached. I have a lot of younger followers and I want to be a real inspiration to them. I want to be authentic and really engaged with what I do. ‌ 'I have three younger sisters now and I want them to grow up and look up to me.' ‌ Princess' brothers and sisters are often at the forefront of her mind. She and Junior have three half siblings, Harvey, 23, Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10, on Katie's side, while Emily and Peter share Amelia, 11, Theo, eight, and Arabella, one. 'I'm kind of a second mum to the little ones,' she says. 'I do feel a big responsibility for my little brothers and sisters and I try to be the best big sister I can for them.' She speaks particularly fondly of Arabella, who she affectionately calls Bells. ‌ 'When it comes to Bells, I just can't cope with how cute she is,' Princess gushes. 'I just want to be with her all the time. She's a year old already and now she's really growing up. She's clapping and making noises. She's so cute. I don't really need to do a lot of babysitting, but I did take Theo and Amelia in the car to school the other day. I felt like a proper grown-up doing the school run.' ‌ For those who missed it on social media, Princess has been showing off her new white Audi, the majority of which she bought with her own money. 'My dad helped me a bit,' she says. 'It was his idea to do the joke 'Princess' number plate, which didn't stay, but it's mostly my money and I'm really proud of that. I actually wanted a Mercedes but the insurance was too high.' The fact that a 17-year-old could afford to buy her own Mercedes is impressive, but Princess is well on her way to being a millionaire in the next few months. It's fair to say she is nothing if not focused – so much so that when we ask her about her recent break-up with her boyfriend of two years, whose name she's never revealed publicly, she puts the most mature spin on heartbreak we've ever heard from a teenager. ‌ 'I'm feeling good. I've always kept my personal life personal, so I don't talk too much about it, but now is the time to focus on me,' she says. 'I want to get my career to exactly where I want it.' Luckily for Princess she has an incredibly supportive family in her corner. She explains that when it comes to career advice, she'll go to her mum for things like make-up and beauty, and Peter for guidance on music, TV and branding. ‌ 'I'm so lucky that both my parents give me good advice,' she says. 'With business stuff, they both know what to look for. Mum has had beauty ranges before so she's been helpful and I'm still hoping to do a lot more brandwork and music, and I trust my dad's opinion on all of that.' So could we see a potential father-daughter pop collaboration at some point in the future? 'My music's going to be totally different from my dad's. I adore my dad but I don't know. I'm trying to be my own person so I'd probably want to do more with other artists,' Princess says. 'But when I did my GCSE music, he sang with me. He did vocals on the track I did for my exams, so I do value him in that respect and he's still very successful. Obviously, I appreciate my family so much, but I think I'm at that point where I want to try to do stuff on my own. I'm focused on achieving that.' ‌ Finally, we ask Princess what she hopes to get for her birthday. Seeing as she bought herself a car, what could top that? 'I must be quite hard to buy for as I have no idea what I want,' she says. 'There's nothing I really need at the moment.' But it sounds like Princess knows exactly what she wants – and there's no doubt the driven teen will achieve it. 'Maybe we can do this again on my 21st,' she giggles. 'By then I'm hoping to have invested in property, be working with some big brands worldwide, and have a successful TV show. I want to be out there, achieving amazing things and becoming a huge success.' Having spent time in Princess's company, we certainly wouldn't bet against it.

Chris Brown pleads not guilty to UK assault charge

The 36-year-old appeared at London's Southwark Crown Court, where supporters filled the public gallery ahead of the hearing. The two-time Grammy Award winner, known for hits such as "Loyal," "Run It" and "Under the Influence," was granted bail in May after promising to pay a $6.7 million security fee in order to begin his "Breezy Bowl XX" tour. During the court hearing, Brown spoke only to confirm his name and date of birth and to deny the charge of attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm, telling the court clerk: "Not guilty, ma'am." Chris Brown makes bail, surrenders passport as world tour looms His co-defendant, Omololu Akinlolu, 38, also pleaded not guilty to the charge of attempting to inflict grievous bodily harm. The pair were granted bail until their next court appearance on July 11, when they may be asked to enter a plea to a less serious charge of assault causing actual bodily harm. Brown is also charged with having an offensive weapon, namely a bottle, but was not asked to enter a plea on Friday. Their trial is scheduled to begin on October 26, 2026. Supporters said "We love you, Chris" as Brown left the dock after the brief hearing. The R&B star was arrested at a hotel in Manchester, northern England, last month after returning to Britain for the first time since the incident two years ago.

Meghan Markle claims new As Ever wine and £21 honey has nearly sold out already

Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is now selling a selection of new food items, including an apricot spread and a limited edition orange blossom honey, the latter costing £21 per jar Meghan Markle has claimed her brand's new food products - including a £21-per-jar honey - have almost sold out within hours of release. The Duchess of Sussex, 43, has expanded her As Ever range with several new items, including a rosé wine, an apricot spread and the limited edition orange blossom honey. She said most of the first batches of these treats almost sold out within minutes of release, a claim which left some fans and critics puzzled. ‌ Social media users went online to suggest the former actress was "playing the 'sold out' game", an approach they say salespeople use to encourage customers to swiftly part with cash. However, Prince Harry's wife did enjoy success with the first release of products under the brand - with the likes of a jam, honey, herbal teas and flower sprinkles all snaffled within hours. ‌ Suggesting this was the case again, Meghan says in an Instagram video she wishes she had "so much more inventory". She adds: "We are nearly sold out on everything, and I can't believe it... Thanks everybody." In the clip, the mum of two explains how the flower sprinkles have again proved to be the most popular item - just as they were in April. Most items on As Ever's website have "sold out" beside them, including the flower sprinkles and apricot spread. But trolls are still not convinced, writing on Twitter (formerly X) they felt Meghan was assuming "people were stupid". One person posted: "She is playing the 'sold out' game and thinking we are all stupid. You fool no one Meghan Markle." Another shared: "Wait the only new thing she dropped was the apricot spread. WTF. And it sold out after 20 mins. Meghan must think people are really stupid." Among further harsh digs, another critic added: "Wow they have super small quantities. The apricot and tea already sold out." But in full, Meghan says: "We spent so much time making sure we had so much more inventory. That's why we took the time and you guys are doing it again. We are nearly sold out on everything. And I can't believe it - even flower sprinkles which I knew would be the big one again. So that has more inventory than all of it and that is also about to sell out." While the apricot spread and honey went on sale on Friday, the Napa Valley rosé wine will be available from July 1. The rosé is Meghan's first foray into the wine market - with the product sourced from the famous region of California , up the west coast from her Montecito mansion.
