Katie Price and Peter Andre, once estranged for sixteen years, are reportedly set to film scenes together for their daughter Princess's reality television show. This marks a significant thawing of relations, stemming from a protracted feud that followed their divorce. Sources close to the family suggest the reconciliation is largely driven by a desire to create a stable environment for their children.
The renewed cordiality was signaled earlier this year when both Price and Andre issued statements confirming the resolution of their long-standing acrimony. This was preceded by the pair reconnecting on social media, notably by following each other on Instagram. The reconciliation has reportedly progressed to the point where Peter Andre even engaged in a FaceTime call with Katie Price's current husband, Carl Woods, earlier this year.
Princess's reality show, tentatively titled "The Princess Diaries," is slated for broadcast on ITV2. While Princess and her brother Junior have previously featured in their parents' reality television endeavors, this marks a new chapter for Princess establishing her own media presence. Reports indicate that Price’s involvement in the show will be through video calls with her daughter, ensuring her presence despite not being on set directly.

Peter Andre has been featured in earlier seasons of "The Princess Diaries," showcasing his life with his current wife, Emily MacDonagh, and their children. The show has been renewed for multiple seasons, highlighting Princess's burgeoning career in the entertainment and modeling industries.
