      The daughter of glamour model Katie Price and Peter Andre posed in a range of outfits from the brand’s collection, sporting glam make-up with her naturally curly blonde hair styled straight.
      A source said Princess is “so excited”, having looked up to her mum – who began modelling aged 17 – for years.
      “She has aspired to model for a brand like PrettyLittleThing since she can remember,” they told Mail Online.
      ‘She knows she’s still young at 16 but Pete is going to oversee her work with PLT to ensure she’s protected and well looked after.

      “The partnership was born organically after Princess posted on Instagram about wearing the brand, it’s naturally a great fit for both parties.”
      Brand and culture expert Nick Ede reckons this is the start of big things for Princess, who already has a successful YouTube channel with 56.7K subscribers, and boasts 704.6K followers on TikTok and 687K on Instagram.
      “She’s grounded and caring, and with her family’s backing she will be a millionaire before she’s 18, potentially,” he tells The Sun.
      “It’s really interesting to see that PLT have signed up Princess to be a face of the brand – they are obviously looking to appeal to a younger demographic and TikTok generation to increase sales and brand awareness.

      “Having her model is a shrewd move as she already has such a famous family – and this will propel Princess even more into the limelight.
      “Brands will be clambering to work with her, as they know it will create interest and ultimately drive sales.

      “With this being for clothing, and Princess loving make-up and hair, I can see her being offered cosmetic deals too, and hair products, as she stars to expand her reach and brand portfolio, and one day potentially creating her own ranges like other successful stars like Molly-Mae Hague.”
      Unlike her mum, Nick doesn’t see Princess later going down the glamour route, but expects her to play on her natural good looks and family name to “make a mint”.

      He points out that she can, however, learn a lot from her mum – “the good, the bad and the ugly”.
      “Princess has seen how fame can be cruel and also how fickle it is,” Nick explains.
      “Glamour modelling is very different these days. I don’t think this is a path she is likely to take, especially working at such a young age with brands like PLT.
      “Katie Price is an iconic personality who will always be famous. At the height of her fame she could literally sell anything – and she did.
      I can see Princess being offered cosmetic deals too, and hair products… and one day potentially creating her own ranges like other successful stars like Molly-Mae HagueNick Ede, brand and culture expert
      “She was a multiple bestselling author, had her own fragrance range and equestrian range. 
      “Her downfall was how public she was, and I think Princess knows to keep elements of her life private, like her brother.
      “That means that you always have an air of mystery around you and no one knows everything – privacy is key!

      “With her dad Peter and his wife Emily, who is a doctor, being the voice of reason, I think she has a good head on her shoulders to make the right decisions.
      “She should take elements from her mother, father and step-mother and utilise the best bits to further her career.”
