In a surprising turn, 48‑year‑old Katie Price filmed new scenes for her daughter Princess Andre’s ITV2 series The Princess Diaries this week, despite a prior ban imposed by former manager Claire Powell. The move follows a long‑standing conflict that began after Price’s 2009 divorce from ex‑husband Peter Andre, with Powell still managing both the former couple and their children.

Claire Powell’s Agency Holds the Key to the Ban

CAN Associates, owned by Claire Powell, requested that Price not appear in the first series of The Princess Diaries. according to a source quoted by the Daily Mail, Powell’s request stemmed from her loyalty to Peter Andre, who remains under her management. The agency’s influence over the show’s casting decisions highlights the lingering power of former professional ties in celebrity reality TV.

Price’s Return Sparks New Family‑Management Tension

Price’s appearance on the show,which was filmed on a Friday, came after she publicly aired her frustration with Powell on her podcast. In that episode,she accused Powell of controlling her public narrative during her marriage to Peter,claiming the agent dictated everything from photo shoots to public displays of affection. the Daily Mail reports that Price’s voice was briefly heard in the first series when Princess spoke to her mother on the phone, underscoring the emotional stakes for the family.

Audience Response and Ratings Momentum

The first series of The Princess Diaries became ITV2’s biggest launch outside of Love Island and Big Brother, earning a double recommission from show bosses last year. it has also been longlisted for the Reality Docuseries category at this year’s National Television Awards . price’s return could boost viewership, but it also risks reigniting the feud with Powell, who has managed both sides of the family’s public image for over a decade.

Unresolved Questions About the Agency’s Decision

Key questions remain: What specific clauses in the original ban prevented Price’s appearance? How will Powell’s continued management of Peter Andre influence future casting decisions? And will the show’s producers consider a third‑party mediator to resolve the conflict? The Daily Mail’s report does not yet clarify these points, leaving fans and industry observers in limbo.
