The daughter of former couple Katie Price and Peter Andre has hit back at claims she is a 'nepo baby' - insisting she works for what she achieves "independently".
Princess Andre, 17, is the youngest daughter from glamour model icon Katie, 46, and Mysterious Girl singer Peter's time together. The celebrity offspring has recently followed in her divorced parents footsteps and entered the world of showbiz, attending multiple media events and acting as an influencer on social media.
The 17-year-old, who made her modelling debut in January, after signing a four-figure deal with PrettyLittleThing, boasts 728,000 followers on Instagram. But Princess isn't keen to emulate her mother's career entirely - admitting she understands the comparisons but probably won't go under the knife like her famous mum.
Katie opened up about her kids being 'nepo babies' in July, telling Hit Radios Breakfast Show: "My kids are definitely nepo babies and I know they've been bought up in the industry but they are talented in their own rights. It's not my fault that people have picked up and want to book Princess and that Junior is talented!"
Princes acknowledges the initial advantage that comes with having famous, financially secure parents, but is adamant that her own efforts are what count. "It honestly doesn't bother me, because I know that's not the case. Obviously, it has helped, but if you don't put the work in yourself, you're not going to get anywhere," the teenager says.

I'm doing that independently and people now know me as me rather than my parents' daughter. I know if I hadn't put in the work, then I probably wouldn't be where I am," Princess adds in her interview with The Sun.
Princess often finds herself the subject of public scrutiny due to her striking resemblance to her mother, Katie, who made waves as the most talked-about glamour model of her era and a staple in British popular culture. But Princess is keen to follow her own path - with a trip to a cosmetic surgeon not on the planned route.
Speaking in her latest interview, Princess admits people are entitled to do what they want with their own bodies but she doesn't yet see the appeal of cosmetic surgery, admitting she thinks it's important to embrace her natural beauty as a role model for her younger siblings.
Princess is little sister to Harvey Price and Junior Andre and a big sister to Jett, ten, and Bunny, nine, who mum Katie shares with ex-husband Kieran Hayler. On her dad's side, Princess is a elder sibling to 51-year-old Peter's children with her step-mum Emily Andre; Amelia, ten, Theo, seven and newborn Arabella.
"My sisters [Bunny and Amelia] are 10, and I want to set an example to them that they're amazing how they are," Princess says in her cover interview. "You don't need to change. I want my little sisters to look up to me and be happy in themselves. It's natural for them to want to play around with make-up that's a girlie thing to do but I always say they don't need it."
