Princess Andre, the 18-year-old daughter of Katie Price and Peter Andre, has opened up about her experiences living in her mother’s notorious ‘Mucky Mansion.’ The Sussex home, which gained infamy for both its dilapidated condition and personal scandals, has been the subject of much public attention, even becoming the focus of a Channel 4 documentary chronicling Katie’s efforts to renovate and move on from the house.
A Chaotic Household and ‘Bad Experiences’
In an interview with The Guardian to promote her new ITV2 reality show, The Princess Diaries, Princess described her time at the house as unsettling. She said, “It was a really scary house. A lot went on there. So I didn’t really like it.” While Princess refrained from detailing her specific experiences, Katie Price has been vocal in the past about her belief that the house was haunted and the tragedies, including the deaths of multiple pets in the property.
Katie’s nine-bedroom Sussex property was sold in December 2024 for £1.5 million after years of financial troubles and personal challenges. Despite cleaning up the mansion before its sale, Katie shared deep emotional sentiments about the house. Reflecting on her departure, she stated, “I absolutely hate the Mucky Mansion… I’ve had nothing but bad memories in that house for nine years.”
Katie’s Struggles and Moving On
The reality TV star and former glamour model faced numerous challenges during her time in the property. Among these were structural problems, financial strains—including bankruptcy declared in March 2024—and alleged vandalism such as acid damage to her car. Katie also claimed that living there worsened her anxiety, saying, “There was a point when I couldn’t even walk up the driveway without having a panic attack.”
To start anew, Katie has since moved to a new home, calling it a “reset button” for herself and her family. The transformation of her life and surroundings continues to captivate fans and skeptics alike, especially as she rebuilds following financial and emotional adversity.
Princess’s Balanced Perspective
Princess also touched on the striking contrast between her parents’ separate lifestyles. “Dad’s house is a lot quieter, a lot more peaceful, a lot more organized. Whereas my mum’s house is much more just do what you want.” Despite the differences, Princess expressed love for both her parents’ homes, appreciating the balance she’s able to find between them.
The rising star has gained considerable attention since the launch of her reality show, earning praise for her charisma and relatability. However, her budding success has not been without its challenges, as disputes between her parents continue to make headlines. Recently, Peter Andre issued a public response to remarks Katie made on her podcast, highlighting ongoing tensions between the former couple on co-parenting and Princess’s career.
