Princess Andre, visibly affected, confessed her fear that she might be killed or kidnapped during a carjacking incident she experienced alongside her mother, Katie Price.
In 2018, Katie Price and her daughter Princess Andre experienced a harrowing ordeal in South Africa while filming for Katie's reality TV show. The family was driving when they stopped due to Junior needing the toilet. At that moment, six armed men approached their vehicle and held them at gunpoint.
One of the men had a baseball bat and smashed the car window. The men demanded that Katie hand over her children to them. Princess, who was just 10 years old at the time, recalled the men staring intently at her and threatening to kill them. During the ordeal, Katie was sexually assaulted by the attackers, who also robbed and assaulted the family.
Princess found the incident extremely traumatic and feared she would be killed or kidnapped. She described the experience as nightmarish and surreal, stating that the attacker seemed to look into her soul. Katie has spoken openly about the incident, revealing her subsequent PTSD diagnosis and time in rehab.
The incident left Princess with ongoing flashbacks and trauma many years later. In 2022, Katie revealed that she was sexually assaulted during the carjacking incident. Princess recently spoke publicly about her experience for the first time in her own ITV reality series, "The Princess Diaries" (2025).
The carjacking has caused a rift between Katie and Princess, with an episode of Katie's podcast suggesting that there is tension due to the TV show. It has been claimed that those close to Princess are concerned that being too closely associated with Katie could be detrimental to her future brand.
Despite the challenges, Katie has expressed her role as her daughter's mother, expressing frustration about the situation. The police considered the survival of Princess, Katie, and Junior after the hijack a miracle. This event has been covered in media reports and Princess' own reality show.
