Katie Price, 48, filmed scenes with her 18‑year‑old daughter Princess Andre for ITV2’s reality series "The Princess Diaries" this week,overturning an earlier ban imposed by the family’s management firm. The reversal comes amid a long‑running feud between Price and former manager Claire Powell, who now represents both Princess and ex‑husband Peter Andre.

CAN Associates’ original ban on Katie Price

According to The Daily Mail, the initial decision to keep Price off the show was made by CAN Associates , the agency owned by Claire Powell‑Keen, who managed the family during Katie and Peter’s marriage. The agency reportedly argued that the mother’s presence would distract from the series’ focus on Princess’s own storyline.

Princess Andre’s push for her mother’s cameo

A source close to the production said Princess has repeatdely asked why her mother should be excluded when other relatives, including Peter Andre and his wife Emily MacDonagh, already feature prominently.. The source added that Princess “loves her mother” and feels the ban undermines their bond.

History of the Price‑Powell feud

The tension dates back to the 2009 breakup of Katie Price’s marriage to Peter Andre, when Powell remained loyal to Peter and later helped revive his career after the decline of his 1996 hit “Mysterious Girl.” In 2015, Price settled a privacy claim alleging that Powell and Andre leaked personal details to the press, deepening the rift.

Personal turmoil surrounding Katie Price

Price’s return to the show coincides with turmoil in her own life: her fourth husband, Lee Andrews, was reportedly arrested in Dubai and held on a private civil matter after a two‑week disappearance, a claim Price initially denied. The drama adds another layer to the family narrative that vieewers have followed since the series’ launch.

Unresolved questions :Will the ban re‑emerge?

It remains unclear whether CAN Associates will maintain the new arrangement for future seasons, or if further disputes could again limit Price’s screen time. Additionally, the impact of Lee Andrews’s legal issues on Price’s public image has yet to be fully assessed.
