Princess Andre was praised for raising awareness of period issues through her new reality show The Princess Diaries during its first episode on Sunday night

Princess Andre has been praised for raising awareness of period issues through her new reality show The Princess Diaries. The starlet, 18, who is the daughter of showbiz legend Katie Price and 90s pop singer Peter Andre, appeared in the first episode of her ITV2 reality show on Sunday evening.

Princess, alongside her dad and her brother Junior, 20, was getting ready to go to a Mission Impossible premiere and she said said: “All boys need to do is scruff up their hair a bit and put a suit on. It’s not that hard!” But things took a dramatic turn when Princess candidly admitted that the appearance had come at her time of the month. as she told the cameras: “This is not good! I feel like it’s a huge pressure to look perfect at these glamorous events, there are paps there, and anything little thing that’s wrong, people point it out and there’s loads of comments about it. So that’s dodgy nails, and I’m on my period, but apart from that, I’m read carpet ready!”

It was a race against time on the way to get to the event as Princess complained about cramps and had to stop at a hotel to rush in and use their bathroom. And in a confessional, she told viewers: “She said: “This is honestly the worst nightmare. Girls, you know exactly what I’m on about. You’re wearing a nice dress, you’re going to an event or a special event and you’ve just leaked. Yeah, the panic is real.” It comes after Princess Andre says she’s ‘independent’ from parents as she breaks silence after Katie Price row.

As the scenes unfolded, Princess managed to get out of the car and to a bathroom just in time, but admitted amid all the tension:” “This is really disastrous. What if it’s actually gone through my dress? I don’t even think I can even stand up! Oh no! Has it leaked through, dad?!”

Just before heading into the glamorous event, Princess breathed a sigh of relief and she said: “Oooh, panic over, don’t worry. I’m all good. My dress is fine.” The moment did not go unnoticed by fans, and one rushed to X to praise the budding reality star for speaking out over the issue. They wrote on the social media platform: “Hats off to Princess Andre for talking about her periods in her reality show. Her life might not be normal but she is normalising something that usually carries stigma and shame.”

During the programme, Princess featured heavily alongside her brother and fans also praised the relationship between the siblings. as one wrote: “I’m not a fan of Katie Price & Peter Andre, but they really did make the most beautiful kids in Junior & Princess”, and a a third user said: “Watching The Princess Diaries on ITV. Loving the sibling relationship between Junior and Princess.”

Katie did actually make an appearance in the first episode of the programme, but was heard only on the other end of a voice note. Princess had to asked her mother about what she was like as a child and Katie replied: “Who was the naughtiest child? Well, you was a mummy’s girl so you used to push me more and probably get away with things so I’d say you was more naughty actually. You are still very much like me but different if that makes sense, you are more sensible.

“So yeah, the answer to your question is that I think you were naughty. You naughty girl! before Princess admitted in a confessional: “Me and my mum are so close. We’re more like best friends, we’ll tell each other anything.”

Katie recently said she was “very, very upset” that Princess’ career was being managed by her ex-husband Peter Andre’s management and says she’s being left out. She also said she won’t be watching the reality show, which she isn’t a part of. The mum-of-five said she was banned from her daughter’s 18th birthday party and that her former management team – who look after Mysterious Girl singer Peter, 52, and Princess – did not want her on the show as they considered her “trash”. Speaking on her podcast, Katie claimed: “Princess was like ‘I’m having a party’. And I wasn’t invited because it was for ‘filming’.”

“But I don’t feel like I can really talk, so I just write everything down in my notes. I do wish, like, I could have had a more happier childhood. In the sense of like, I had so many things on my plate at a young age.”

The first episode also saw Princess exploring ideas for her makeup business as she attempted to build a brand of her own. She told viewers in a confessional: “I am gonna take on the challenge because this is something that I really, really want so I’ve got to work, work work.”

July 21 (UPI) — The new chief executive officer at Astronomer is speaking out following last week’s Coldplay concert kiss cam controversy, as he acknowledged the now viral video has raised brand awareness for the tech firm.

Pete DeJoy, co-founder and interim CEO, issued a statement Monday — called “Moving Forward at Astronomer” — after former CEO Andy Byron and Astronomer’s head of Human Resources, Kristin Cabot, were caught in an embrace Wednesday night on Coldplay’s jumbotron at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Mass. Both Byron and Cabot, who are married to other people, ducked out of the camera shot when they saw themselves on the screen.

“The events of the past few days have received a level of media attention that few companies — let alone startups in our small corner of the data and AI world — ever encounter,” De Joy said.

“The spotlight has been unusual and surreal for our team, and, while I would never have wished for it to happen like this,” he added, “Astronomer is now a household name.”

DeJoy stepped into his new role at Astronomer, “a company that I’ve proudly poured my entire professional life into helping build,” over the weekend after Byron tendered his resignation.

On Monday, DeJoy seized the company’s current spotlight to highlight its true mission.

“Over the past few years, our business has experienced incredible growth. What was once a mission to help companies with Apache Airflow has turned into so much more,” DeJoy said.

“We’re privileged to sit at the center of our customers’ data and AI strategy, powering data pipelines behind in-game analytics of your favorite sports team, LLM powered chatbots for customer support, training AI for self-driving cars and every mission-critical process in between,” DeJoy continued in an attempt to steer attention away from the controversy.

Astronomer’s “mission is bigger than any one moment,” he said.

I created my first Instagram account in March 2015 when I was 13 years old. Back then, social media was just a space for me to share photos of my cats and keep an eye on whatever One Direction was up to. Fast forward 10 years, and social media is now a tool I use to keep in touch with family and follow along with politics – while still, of course, sharing photos of my cat.

I’ve always had quite a toxic relationship with social media. I’ve gone back and forth on the idea of deleting all of my accounts and never touching an app again, but I could never bring myself to do it. As someone who has moved cross country multiple times, I don’t want to lose contact with almost everyone I grew up with, and social media is an amazing tool to discover and connect with LGBTQIA+ communities that I wouldn’t have otherwise found. The truth is, I’d feel extremely lonely if it wasn’t for social media.

Though it’s important to me to keep up with current events, the whiplash of scrolling from a cute guinea pig video to a violent debate over basic human rights was starting to have a serious effect on my mental health. I was doom scrolling more than ever, to the point where I needed to put a one hour screen time limit on certain apps for my own sanity.

So, I decided to create myself a digital safe space, a place where I could access the positive, uplifting side of social media, while avoiding the content that was impacting my mental health.

I recently created a brand new account to share my artwork, but I made an effort to only follow other artists and regularly search for arty advice, tips and tricks. The algorithm must have caught on pretty quickly, because suddenly my explore page was entirely made up of artists and small business owners who were sharing their incredible artwork and uplifting each other. All of a sudden I was in a space that was wholeheartedly positive, creative and inspiring.

This wasn’t at all what I was used to on my personal account, which was rampant with politics and people arguing with each other. Of course, the concept of having a second Instagram account wasn’t something that was new to me – I’ve had an account specifically for sharing sunset photography, one for special effects makeup and various “aesthetic accounts” – but this was the first time I intentionally curated an algorithm. It just so happened to be an overwhelmingly positive community I chose to seek out.
