Princess Andre discusses breakup ahead of 18th birthday
EXCLUSIVE: As she prepares to turn 18, Princess Andre opens up on her split from her boyfriend and her plans for the future. Princess Andre is on the brink of turning 18, but she has no intentions of being snapped staggering out of nightclubs. The striking young star, gearing up to celebrate her landmark birthday with a fresh photo shoot for Sunday Mirror's Notebook magazine, has declared she fancies quiet nights in over raucous revelry. "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," she says. To the delight of her mindful father, singer Peter Andre, she also insists, "I'm not the sort of person who'd embarrass myself. I'll never put myself in a position that would make me look bad." But this doesn't mean that Princess, known for her social media presence, won't mark the occasion with a bit of fanfare. Pete, along with his doctor spouse Emily, intends to surprise her with a party, in addition to her recent splurge on a premium Audi following her driving test success last month. Reflecting on her inaugural drive with her dad, the 'Mysterious Girl' icon, Princess shares how Pete finds it tough seeing her all grown up. "He's so proud and so supportive, but I think it's hard to see your kid get older," she shares. Describing their first journey together in her new car, she recounts, "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 OK?' And he admitted it was weird for him to see me grow up", reports the Mirror. Despite her tender age, Princess demonstrates remarkable maturity when discussing her recent breakup with her boyfriend. "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," the up-and-coming singer shared. "I want to get my career to exactly where I want it." With an admirable following of 1.5 million on Instagram and TikTok, Princess is quickly becoming a known figure in the entertainment industry. As the progeny of two British reality TV and popular culture legends, Peter Andre and Katie Price, it seemed almost fated that Princess would have a career in the limelight. Having been in the public eye from a young age with appearances on "Katie and Peter: The Next Chapter" through to her recent deals in modelling and branding, Princess is no stranger to fame. Successful collaborations with high-profile brands like Superdrug and PrettyLittleThing and creating her own line of jewellery are just some of her accomplishments. According to The Sun, she's set to star in her own ITV show as a celebration of her 18th birthday. This show reportedly offers fans an insight into her personal life and nascent modelling endeavours. It is suggested that this reality series will act as a springboard for her runway aspirations. *Find the full interview in Sunday Mirror's Notebook magazine. *Meet Princess in person at a meet and greet event at Superdrug in Lakeside Shopping Centre, Thurrock, at 1pm tomorrow.
