Katie Price takes swipe at daughter Princess’s driving – despite SIX road bans

KATIE Price has given her verdict on her daughter Princess’ driving skills.

Princess, 17,  passed her test last month and splashed out on a brand new Audi A1 in white, which is likely to have set her back at least £10,000.

She has been making the most of her new found freedom – and even went to watch her mum perform on stage.

But Katie – who has famously been banned from driving six times in the last ten years after a series of infringements – wasn’t impressed with her lack of speed.

Chatting to sister Sophie on her podcast The Katie Price Show, the mum-of-five explained: “Oh,yeah. Princess came. She started following us and I’m like, Princess,I’m going to be late because she was going under the speed limit.

“Obviously, because she’s new and it’s the roads and  it was raining and I didn’t want to stress her out, so I gave her the postcode.I said ‘look, we’ll see you there’.”

Sophie was keen to know more about her driving and if she was driving at night yet.

Katie added:  “Yeah, she drives to see me. And then I met her at Westfields on Sunday because she goes away today.She goes to lbiza.”

When Princess first passed her test, Katie congratulated her writing: ” So proud and so scared at the same time.”

After revealing her new car, Princess was hit with criticism by fans, who believe it was actually mum and dad Katie and Peter Andre who actually forked out the cash for it. 

But Princess  put that speculation to bed, hitting back at the comments and declaring: “These comments are so funny. To everyone out there, yes I work and yes I earn my own money which I’m super proud of and so thankful that I’m lucky enough to buy my own car xx.” 

Becoming an influencer in her own right, Princess has already signed brand ambassador deals with high street beauty chain Superdrug and online retailer PrettyLittleThing, and has launched her own jewellery range.

She’s also vowed to be a millionaire by the time she turns 20. 

Her mum Katie was banned from driving for two years in December 2021 after crashing her BMW in a drink-driving smash in Horsham.

 She had been meant to get her licence back in later 2023, but it was delayed by almost another year.

This was after Katie was charged in early 2024 with driving without insurance and a valid licence.

Meghan and Harry brutally AXE host of key aides yet again after blaming them for string of PR humiliations

THE Duke and Duchess of Sussex have given their communications team the boot after blaming them for a series of PR humiliations.

Harry and wife Meghan decided instead to go with the firm behind their controversial twerking video — sparking fears of a “clickbait” approach which will horrify the Royal Family.

Last night a source told The Sun: “Meghan and Harry always blame everyone else and never themselves.

“No one ever seems to be good enough for them and yet they fail to understand why things don’t change.”

This year’s embarrassments included January’s take-down of Meghan in society bible Vanity. It reignited bullying allegations and was headlined “American Hustle”.

In February experts described as chaotic the rebranding of Meghan’s “American Riviera Orchard” food brand into “As ever”.

Her six-part Netflix cookery and lifesyle show was savaged by TV reviewers in both the UK and USA, while her podcast “Confessions of a Female Founder” quickly tumbled down the ratings.

Meghan, 43, was also caught out calling herself “Her Royal Highness” in a potential breach of the 2020 Megxit agreement struck with the late Queen.

The Sussexes responded by firing two directors of communications in what insiders described as a purge. UK-based Charlie Gipson went along with California-based Kyle Boulia.

Deesha Tank, who worked for the couple’s Archewell foundation for three years, had resigned days earlier. Meanwhile the head of content for Meghan’s Instagram account also left.

Several weeks ago the couple hired Emily Robinson as a new director of communications — despite her previously running ublicity for The Crown episodes which showed Harry in Nazi fancy dress and sympathetic storylines on depraved sex offender Mohammed Al-Fayed.

Harry and Meghan have now brought in Method Communications, who claim they are “disruptors” who “challenge the status quo”.

It is understood one of their first acts was releasing the video of heavily pregnant Meghan dancing in a maternity as she tried to induce Lilibet’s birth.

The clip was widely panned but pulled in 42million views.

Photos of Lilibet and six-year-old brother Archie, with their faces covered by emjois, were then posted online showing the kids in Disneyland.

Their chief communications officer remains Meredith Maines, appointed in March days before Harry scuppered any hope of a reconciliation with King Charles in an angry interview with the BBC.

Ms Maines said last night: “Transitioning from a team of two to an agency support staff of eight, operating across five different time zones, will give international media and stakeholders better access.”

Emma Raducanu gets treatment for back injury in worrying scenes as she crashes out of Queen’s 17 days before Wimbledon

EMMA RADUCANU took a medical timeout and struggled with a niggling back injury as she crashed out of the Queen’s tournament.

Seventeen days before Wimbledon opens its doors for the 2025 Championships, the biggest name in British tennis is once again having to manage her body amid physical problems.

After losing the first set of her quarter-final tie with Qinwen Zheng, on the hottest day of the year thus far, the Kent hitter went to the changing rooms to undergo treatment.

It all relates to back spasms she suffered before the French Open and prior to arriving in Paris, the 22-year-old had to overcome her fear of needles to undergo acupuncture to help cure the pain.

It was on these grounds nearly 12 months ago that Andy Murray injured his back and ended up never playing another singles match.

It is not as severe as that but still, those in Raducanu’s camp will be praying this incident does not disrupt her plans as she hopes to play in Berlin next week and then Eastbourne before a fourth appearance in the Wimbledon main draw.

Zheng, the world No.5, won 6-2 6-4 in a drawn-out affair and will now face an American in the semi-finals – it will either be Emma Navarro or Amanda Anisimova on Saturday.

Before walking out into the Andy Murray Arena, Raducanu made a point of taking AirPods out of her ears and putting them away, presumably because she wanted to hear the roar of the public for her entrance.

How Zheng would cope mentally with a packed crowd cheering against her would play a significant role in the outcome of this contest.

The Olympic singles champion, 22, was not exactly in the fans’ good books when she decided in game six, while on break point on Raducanu’s serve, to change her shoes.

The Asian star slipped on the grass and told the umpire that she needed to swap her footwear.

Pimm’s-fuelled punters were not having any of it and slow-clapped while she sat on her chair and booed when she returned to the baseline, even though Zheng apologised several times for the interruption.

Raducanu was unconvincing on her own serve and looked tense and nervous in the opening games and was even questioning some of the calls made by the new electric line calling system.

There were two chances, at 4-2 down in the first set, where she might have broken back immediately but Zheng, a huge star in her homeland, fought off those moments.

Zheng – who had only won FOUR matches on grass before facing the 2021 US Open champion – sealed the first set with 49 minutes on the clock.

It was in bizarre circumstances as she was on the floor, having slipped over again, but Raducanu failed to find the open court, hitting the ball into the net.

A set down, Raducanu went backstage and took a medical timeout as she had treatment on a troublesome lower back region.

During the first set, she could be seen stretching her back during a changeover.

These were worrying scenes but unfortunately a situation that has become all too familiar with Raducanu since that historic Slam win in New York in September 2021.

Perhaps a surge of adrenaline explains how she came out looking like a different player in the second set, racing into a 3-0 and then 4-2 lead, the first break in game one courtesy of a Zheng double fault.

But with the temperature gauge recording 27.5 degrees, Raducanu felt the heat and soon it was 4-4 apiece as she gifted a break to her opponent due to her sixth of seven double faults in the match.

Though she managed to stave off three match points in game 10, Zheng progressed when Raducanu’s forehand sailed long.

‘Just ban this guy from the Etihad’ – Man City fans FUME at Kyle Walker over his astonishing Tottenham claim

KYLE WALKER angered Manchester City fans after admitting he would sacrifice one of his Premier League medals to have been part of Tottenham’s Europa League triumph.

The Etihad club captain left Pep Guardiola stunned when he asked for a move away in January — when City were right in the middle of a crisis.

Spurs ended their 17-year trophy drought by beating United in the final[/caption]

He joined AC Milan on loan but the Italians turned down the option to sign him permanently.

And boss Pep left the 35-year-old right-back out of his Club World Cup squad, meaning he is free to find a new club.

But City fans were angry when Walker revealed on his BBC podcast he would have loved to have been with former club Spurs as they ended their 17-year trophy drought.

Walker has won six Premier League titles at City and was part of their Treble-winning side in 2022-23.

He said: “I’d probably give up one Premier League title, not the first, to have won that Europa League with Tottenham because I know what it means.

“Probably my second — although that was the ‘Four-midables’ [when they won all four domestic trophies].

“It’s hard to give one away but for what that moment meant, to say I was in that Spurs squad that won a trophy.”

City fans slammed Walker, with one saying: “Just ban this guy from the Etihad and get it over and done with. He’s already freely hating us, why protect whatever is left of his relationship with the club.”

Another added: “Mental. I could never ever imagine John Stones, Nathan Ake, Samir Nasri, Carlos Tevez ever coming out and saying they would give up even a Community Shield to win a trophy at a former club.”

A third wrote: “Bro is the worst captain of the club get out.”

Tottenham supporters however, were delighted to see that he still loves the club.

One commented: “Great to hear you say ‘we’ when referring to Spurs.”

A second said: “As a Spurs fan, it was really heartwarming to hear Kyle’s words and his feelings connected to the Europa League final. I was gutted when he left for Man City, but I’ve always been happy seeing him win trophy after trophy.”

Walker — who spent eight years on Tottenham’s books — admitted he was a bag of nerves watching his old club beat Manchester United 1-0 last month.

He added: “It was the first time in a long time I’ve been nervous — and I wasn’t even playing.

“I was there with my iPad and I couldn’t sit and watch it. I was walking up and down my room.

“We reached a lot of finals but against better teams who knew how to win.

“They’ve always been a club that nearly got over the line but not quite. I’m buzzing for them.”

Walker joined City from Spurs in July 2017 and has a year left on his deal.

Turkish giants Fenerbahce are the latest to show an interest in him.

‘A lot are saying the same thing’ – Darts stars moan about World Cup outfits causing awkward wardrobe malfunctions

FURIOUS darts star Gian van Veen has revealed that players are outraged with the quality of T-shirts given out at the World Cup.

The world No. 23 insisted most of his rivals agree with his view that the tops dished out ahead of the tournament are too tight.

Gian van Veen says several players have made the same complaint as him at the World Cup

Van Veen is part of the Dutch team in Germany, lining up alongside Danny Noppert, who is ranked 16th in the world.

After thumping Italy 4-0 on Friday, the Netherlands duo face Hungary next and are widely expected to reach the knockout phase.

But Van Veen has been left infuriated with the shirts given out to players at World Cup, arguing that the tops aren’t big enough.

He said: “I asked for an XL, but this feels more like a medium. An XXL would’ve been better.

“It’s tight, uncomfortable, and feels totally different from my usual shirt. A lot of players are saying the same thing.

“I’ve spoken to the PDC about it and they’ve promised to look into it for next year. But for now, we’ll just have to get on with it.”

The World Cup shirts were made by professional sport’s apparel supplier Fourex and feature bespoke designs for each country.

Van Veen, who replaced Dutch ace Michael van Gerwen after he withdrew, then revealed that the team “feel confident” but “expected more from the Italians”.

England duo Luke Littler and Luke Humphries are not in action until Saturday.

As the best-ranked team, they received a bye into the knockout rounds.

The world champion and world No. 1 Humphries are strong favourites to win the tournament.

Humphries won the World Cup with Michael Smith last year, when they beat Austrian pair Rowby-John Rodriguez and Mensur Suljovic 10-6.

If England win this Sunday, they will extend their record of World Cup titles to six.

While, the Dutch pairing decided that Van Veen would throw first this weekend, it looks like Littler will do the same in his duo.
