Princess Andre has revealed she has purchased her first car, a £10,000 white Audi A1, just two weeks after passing her driving test.
The 17-year-old daughter of singer Peter Andre and former glamour model Katie Price proudly shared photographs on Instagram showing herself posing with the car keys beside her new vehicle.
The Instagram post, which has garnered more than 50,000 likes, featured Princess alongside her Audi with what appeared to be a personalised number plate reading "PRINCESS". She captioned the post simply: "I bought my first car."
The announcement comes exactly two weeks after Princess celebrated passing her driving test, when she shared a photograph of her driving test certificate with the caption: "I passed..."

The personalised number plate visible in Princess's photographs has sparked concern among her followers, with many fans expressing worry about her safety. One concerned fan commented: "I love this, but why would you show and have that number plate? Target for every a******e and nutter out there!"
Another follower warned: "Well done, be careful with that plate, people recognising it will keep following, be safe always." A third fan wrote: "Beautiful car but I'd be a bit scared on my own with your plate in this mad world." (sic)

However, numerous fans have pointed out that the "PRINCESS" plate appears to be a fake show plate covering her actual registration. One follower clarified: "It's a show plate, you can see the real one behind." Another added: "It's actually covering up the real plate."
Princess has since hit back at critics who suggested her parents purchased the vehicle for her. In a follow-up comment on her Instagram post, she wrote: "These comments are so funny.
"To everyone out there, yes I work and yes I earn my own money which I'm super proud of and so thankful that I'm lucky enough to buy my own car xx." (sic)
The teenager has established herself as a successful influencer with significant earning potential through various brand partnerships.

Princess's parents have reacted with a mixture of pride and concern to their daughter's milestone purchase. Katie Price shared her daughter's Instagram post on her own Instagram Story, writing: "So proud and so scared at the same time my baby girl turns 18 next month too so lots of exciting things we will be doing together."
Princess's stepmother Emily Andre, who has been married to Peter Andre since 2015, also showed her support by commenting on the post with flame and heart emojis alongside the word "Yay".

Television executives have been impressed with Princess's professionalism and natural ability, with one insider noting: "Princess is a complete natural, which isn't surprising considering she grew up on her parents' reality TV shows."
