Siblings Junior and Princess recently discussed their experiences growing up in the public eye, their family dynamics, and future ambitions during a candid conversation about their lives and careers. The two, who are connected to a high-profile family previously featured in reality television, provided insight into how they navigate the complexities of fame and family relationships.
Addressing the topic of their parents’ divorce, Junior described the relationship between their mother and father as "amicable," emphasizing that while the two maintain a "truce," they are not close friends and prefer to avoid direct interaction. He noted the importance of family involvement despite the situation, saying it is positive that both parents are present because they “love them, and want everyone to be involved." Princess echoed this sentiment, expressing appreciation for having family members on their current show, stating that it makes the experience "way more fun" and conveys a sense of calm to viewers.
The siblings remained tight-lipped about discussions surrounding Lee Andrews, a figure linked to off-screen controversies, indicating he is not part of their current projects. Despite the scrutiny their family has faced, Princess underscored the value of maintaining strong and "perfect relationships" with their parents, highlighting the importance of family unity. Junior acknowledged the pressures of living in the public eye but emphasized their commitment to pursuing their passions, saying they are working hard to "follow our dreams" and “do the best that we can.”
Looking ahead, Princess expressed interest in participating in the show Celebrity Traitors, while Junior mentioned the appeal of appearing together on a future season of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!, recalling that their parents first met during the 2004 series. He noted that they might be the first siblings to attempt the show together and appeared enthusiastic about the prospect.
Junior also discussed his musical career, emphasizing his desire to establish an independent identity separate from their father, Peter, a successful musician with three UK number-one singles, including “Mysterious Girl.” While Junior features a rap verse on a new version of Peter’s 1996 hit “Flava” for his own album, Legacy, he made clear that there are no plans to sample “Mysterious Girl” or perform a duet with their father, underscoring his intent to forge a distinct path.
Reflecting on their upbringing, Junior credited their parents with teaching them resilience, humility, and the importance of respect and kindness. The siblings currently star in the third series of The Princess Diaries, which premiered on ITV2 and ITVX on Tuesday at 9 p.m.
