Katie Price insists she is not trying to control her children

Katie Price has issued a fierce rebuttal amid speculation of a rift with her children, especially her daughter Princess Andre.

The former glamour model took to social media to post a heartfelt quote asserting that a mother's heart is always in the right place, even when she doesn't say what her children might want to hear.

The message underlined that she is not trying to control them and emphatically stated, "I'm not the enemy."

This public declaration comes at a particularly fraught moment, with Princess launching her own ITV2 reality show, The Princess Diaries, without Katie's involvement.

Katie revealed that she has been excluded from key events such as photoshoots and signings, and was even barred from attending Princess's 18th birthday party, which has become a focal point of their strained relationship.

Katie described a deeply emotional moment during her trip to Ibiza. She recounted running into the show's production team and breaking down in tears at being denied even the simplest contact with her daughter. Feeling used in headlines rather than embraced as a parent, she expressed heartbreak over being sidelined despite her decades of industry experience and unwavering desire to support Princess.

Critics have accused Katie of trying to overshadow her daughter's debut by stirring up drama ahead of its release. One insider suggested her emotional outburst was ill-timed and self-serving, aimed more at drawing attention than mending fences.
