In the first episode of her new ITV2 show, The Princess Diaries, Princess headed over to her manager Claire’s house to have a meeting about her future goals. Princess revealed her dreams of creating her own makeup brand, but it left her sharing an unexpected confession.
Claire laid bare the hard work needed from Princess in order to get her brand to become a reality, which prompted her to share the devastating reason behind her determination. “I love the idea of being able to make myself look different,” she revealed. “I used to hate my lips, I used to hate my nose.”
Princess told the camera the extent of the bullying: “When I was younger, I used to get really picked on for my nose being too big and my eyes being too big and my lips being nonexistent. I used to be very, very self conscious and genuinely hate myself.
“When I discovered makeup and I figured out you can enhance your eye features, make your nose smaller, make your lips bigger – now I feel a lot more confident. Still not fully, but a lot more confident about certain things.”
She went on to tell Claire: “I literally hated everything and then I discovered makeup.” They discussed how important Princess’ message is as many young women turn to surgery instead.
Princess insisted: “You don’t need that when you’re 18. Of course, everyone is entitled to their own thing.” She added to the camera: “I am not against surgery at all. If anyone I know gets surgery, it would never ever change my opinion on them.”
The model referenced her mum Katie Price, who has reportedly had 17 boob jobs, and added: “Obviously, if you know my mum, you know she’s had a lot of surgery and she owns it. She loves it and I am so here for it.”
“But, she was actually the one telling me ‘don’t get it done, you are beautiful the way you are’,” Princess said as she revealed her mum’s powerful comment.
“There are so many things makeup taught me and I have also learnt to love myself without it because I think that is important as well. You have to love yourself without,” she shared.
The Princess Diaries airs at 9pm, this Sunday on ITV2.
