Peter Andre has stepped forward to defend his daughter Princess, who recently turned 18, after fans speculated online that she had lip fillers. The unfounded rumors sparked a wave of criticism, prompting Peter to address the issue publicly.
In his New! Magazine column, Peter highlighted the intense scrutiny young people face today, largely fueled by social media’s focus on appearance. He emphasized the importance of valuing inner beauty and character over looks.
Princess herself responded directly to the rumors on Instagram, denying any cosmetic enhancements with a simple, “No they haven’t? x,” following a comment that claimed, “Oh noooooo the lips have been done.”

Peter reflected on the challenges teenagers encounter in the digital age: “I do see though that there’s a lot of pressure on teenagers nowadays with the way they look, especially with social media.” He shared his parenting perspective, reminding Princess—and others—that true beauty comes from within: “But like I always tell Princess, someone could be the most beautiful looking person in the world, but if they’re not a nice person, they’re not that attractive. It’s not about what you look like, it’s about who you are that makes you truly beautiful.”
He also spoke candidly about the bittersweet feelings of watching his daughter step into adulthood: “Princess is now 18 and it already feels like ages ago. I think as a parent you automatically think they will now be totally independent, but as she says, she doesn’t notice any difference. Well I mean, you wouldn’t after three days, LOL. She’s still ringing me to let me know where she is and what time she’ll be home, which is very sweet. Secretly, I love it.”
