Get ready for more royal drama and real-life revelations—ITV has just dropped a bombshell announcement about the future of Princess Andre’s docuseries, The Princess Diaries. But here’s where it gets controversial: is the world ready for two more seasons of her life laid bare? Let’s dive in.
Earlier this year, Princess Andre, the teenage daughter of pop icon Peter Andre and media personality Katie Price, made her television debut with The Princess Diaries. The series gave viewers an intimate look into her life, from her runway debut at the Ibiza Fashion Festival to her 18th birthday celebrations. And this is the part most people miss—it wasn’t just about glitz and glamour. The show also explored her struggles, including emotional moments like dealing with paparazzi intrusion and the pressure of growing up in the spotlight. Is this too much exposure for a young adult, or a refreshing take on modern fame?
ITV clearly believes the audience wants more. On Wednesday, the network announced that The Princess Diaries has been recommissioned for not one, but two additional four-part series, both set to air in 2026. In a jubilant Instagram post, Princess shared the news with her nearly one million followers, gushing, ‘I honestly can’t wait… I am so excited!’ Amanda Starvi, ITV’s commissioning editor for reality and entertainment, praised Princess’s impact, stating, ‘She dominated sidebars and social media, and our audience wholeheartedly embraced her.’ But here’s the question: As Princess steps into adulthood, will viewers continue to connect with her story, or will the novelty wear off?
Fans are already buzzing with excitement. Proud dad Peter Andre cheered, ‘So proud of you. Keep being you. We love you,’ while others flooded social media with congratulations. Yet, the first season wasn’t all fairy tales. It showcased Princess’s journey as a budding social media influencer, her first brand deals, and her family dynamics, including appearances by her father, brother Junior, and stepmother Emily. However, it also delved into darker moments, like her traumatic experiences with paparazzi. Is this raw honesty a step forward in reality TV, or does it cross the line into exploitation?
As we await 2026, one thing’s for sure: Princess Andre’s story is far from over. But we want to hear from you—Do you think reality TV should follow young adults so closely, or should there be boundaries? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
