Peter Andre has defended his daughter Princess, who turned 18 last week, after fans claimed she had gotten lip filler on a recent post – sparking backlash. Revealing that the teen is under ‘a lot of pressure’ regarding the way she looks, particularly due to social media, dad-of-five Peter said in his weekly New! Magazine column that he urges Princess it’s what is inside that matters.Pause
Forced to deny that she’s had any dermal filler, Princess responded to an Instagram user who commented “Oh noooooo the lips have been done” on a recent post. “No they haven’t? x,” replied the teenager.
And writing in his column, Peter explained it’s not easy being her age these days: “I do see though that there’s a lot of pressure on teenagers nowadays with the way they look, especially with social media.
But like I always tell Princess, someone could be the most beautiful looking person in the world, but if they’re not a nice person, they’re not that attractive. It’s not about what you look like, it’s about who you are that makes you truly beautiful.”

He added that despite her recent milestone birthday, things don’t feel any different at home: “Princess is now 18 and it already feels like ages ago. I think as a parent you automatically think they will now be totally independent ,but as she says, she doesn’t notice any difference. Well I mean, you wouldn’t after three days, LOL. She’s still ringing me to let me know where she is and what time she’ll be home, which is very sweet. Secretly, I love it.”
Peter’s comments come after his ex-wife Katie Price, who he shares Princess and son Junior, 20, with, hit the headlines for claiming she was ‘left out’ of Princess’s 18th birthday party, which was hosted by Peter and his wife Emily.
Princess is now an adult, so, officially, Mummy and Princess can go out together,” Katie stated on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, before adding, pointedly at Peter and his PR firm, The CAN Group, “If certain people would let her be seen with me.”
However, when contacted, the management firm claimed: “We have never – and would never – stop Princess from seeing Katie. We would never intervene in any of our clients seeing their parents or not.”
