The Princess Diaries series 3 start date confirmed as Princess Andre is finally joined by mum Katie Price on show
The first pictures of Katie on set have droppedThe Princess Diaries is back for a third series – but when exactly does it start?
The good news is that Princess Andre and all her capers will be returning to ITV2 in just a matter of days.
And this year, there’s an extra face among the reality show’s cast.
Princess will be joined on screen in the series by her famous mum Katie Price.
Katie, who is completely at home in front of the cameras, previously claimed she had been “banned” from The Princess Diaries.
But proving it is all just a myth, pictures of the former glamour model in series 3 have now been released.
They show the mum and daughter having fun together on a camping trip, soaking up the fresh air and enjoying kayaking.
Here’s everything we know, including The Princess Diaries’ all important start date.
The Princess Diaries: Katie Price confirms appearance in show
Katie announced earlier this week that she would be appearing in her daughter Princess’ show, The Princess Diaries.
Princess, 19, had posted a picture of herself at the series launch on Instagram and Katie wrote alongside it: “Yes and I’m actually allowed in this show!”
But although viewers will get to see Katie in front of the camera, they will be seeing slightly less of Princess’ dad. It was previously reported that Peter Andre and his wife Emily would be taking a step back.
A source had told Mail Online: “Pete and Emily will not feature in The Princess Diaries seasons two and three. It was discussed between him and Princess, and they decided as a family that it’s better for the show to focus on Princess alone, rather than her family life.”
However, this doesn’t mean fans won’t catch a glimpse of Peter at all. The Australian singer is currently performing in Mamma Mia! The Party! in London and Princess and her brother Junior were filmed going to watch it.
Peter said recently: “I pop in a little bit, It’s her show but I pop in.
‘They came to see the show [Mamma Mia! The Party] and filmed it, so they’ll be some of that footage.”
Peter will also be making cameos in scenes filmed at home with Princess and her brother Junior, 21.
What happens in The Princess Diaries series 3?
Princess’ career as an influencer was taking off at the end of series 2 of The Princess Diaries. She also successfully completed a major milestone in her life – passing her driving test!
ITV says that series 3 will see Princess “as she sets about asserting her independence and forging ahead with her career goals”. Brother Junior will also be seen forging ahead with his music career.
Speaking at the launch, Princess also confirmed appearances from both of her parents.
“Well, both our parents are in it, so that’s really good,” she said. “You’re also going to see my beauty brand, you’re going to actually see what they look like.”
Touching upon her close relationship with Junior, Princess added: “We also did something together… that people would like to see.”
When does series 3 of The Princess Diaries start?
Great news, guys and gals. Series 3 is now just days away from landing on ITV2.
Once again, the show will run across four hour-long episodes. The first will air at 9pm on Tuesday July 28, 2026 on ITV2. The remaining three episodes will run consecutively over the next three nights at the same time.
But if you find yourself instantly hooked, binge-watchers have also been catered for. All four episodes will drop onto ITVX on Tuesday too.
We can’t wait!
