She never learns does she.
I wonder what her children think of her.

What’s so sad is that she is a naturally pretty person who would have aged beautifully without all of the surgery she has had.

But she obviously has no confidence in herself.

Most teenagers are self-conscious about their looks. If, as someone said upthread, she became a model at 13 and exploited as a Page3 girl at 17 so would always have felt under pressure and anxious about her looks.
Plastic surgery to that extent is not the way to go, although I do think a little 'tweak' could be helpful. However, perhaps it becomes addictive and perhaps a person could have body dysphoria.
She has also said she was diagnosed as an adult with ADHD.

It seems to be a strange wedding but I see no criticism of the groom - why, I wonder? He must have his problems too.

The wedding is apparently not legally binding. Was it a publicity stunt?

I heard that for years she's gone around with a mattress strapped to her back, just in case.

As for "mental elf" - twaddle. Did she have to go to war, get bombed and shelled, have friends blown up next to them, er, no. Nor is she living in Ukraine, getting bombed and shelled while a war criminal keeps blowing up the power stations so you're freezing, or in Gaza, living in a tented city next to thousands of piles of rubble that used to be your country, while a geriatric orange baboon claims hes won 'peace' for you.

None of those, just a self-obsessed nitwit.

This reads as if written by someone who needs all the concern and help that can be offered.

Somewhere behind the offensive post(s) is a sad and troubled mind.

I agree.

That is a very generous assessment, MOnica.

Disgusting comment from Dr Watson

Modelling at 13, page 3 by age 18, reality tv shows, children born from men she’s involved with but not all supporting those children.

Living a public life that gradually becomes a dangerous car crash, substance misuse increasing alongside plastic surgery and eating disorders. She looks ill in every way. And along comes Dr Watson with an offensive misogynistic comment.

I agree Dr.Watson’s remarks were in very bad taste.

Regarding KP’s children, the only child which hasn’t had support from its Father is Harvey.

Peter Andre has supported and played a huge part in Princess and Junior’s lives.

The youngest two have lived with their Father and paternal grandparents, though there are reports that they were returning to their mother late 2025.

(As you can gather I have far too much time in my hands, to Google, hiding in the bedroom as we have ^men in^)

I read that Dwight Yorke did pay substantial child support for Harvey which she used to pay her family members and nannies to care for him. Like the wedding it was all smoke and mirrors that she did it all herself. Do you really think she wouldn't get a child support order?

I suppose that we can criticize Harvey's father for not having regular contact but she made it very difficult and it was a very short relationship of a matter of months.

Now neither of them pay for Harvey as he is in Local Authority residential care.

I hope she did get a child support order that would have been the right thing to do.

LemonJam Wed 28-Jan-26 18:18:35

Cold 16.30. York only accepted paternity of Harvey after a paternity test was requested and carried out. York has admitted in the public domain that he did pay some maintenance after paternity was established but did not pay consistently. Katie said publicly that Yorke offered little to no finical support leading to her seeking significant back dated payments for Harvey's care. That is between them and they each know the detail.

Yorke has admitted he not been a regular figure in his son's life - what evidence is there that Katie made his contact "very difficult"?

It is known that Harvey has complex needs, including Prader-Willi syndrome, autism and other special needs requiring significant investment in chid care support, special schooling etc. Katie has also worked and in so doing sought assistance and support for Harvey via family members and nannies on occasion. Many gransnetters help out their children with child care, not unusual even when a child does not have high level special needs which Harvey does.

Harvey is an adult who has received residential care for his special needs, though I understand is moving into an independent living facility close to Katie's new home this month. Like all adults in the UK with special care needs they do NOT automatically receive free residential care. Funding depends on a care needs assessment and a financial means test, that is what they own/earn/savings etc. NHS Continuing Healthcare (I could give you chapter and verse on the nHS Framework, I chaired an appeal case earlier today) covers full costs for primary, high level health needs within a designated "purse". However most individuals with moderate needs contribute towards costs based on capital/income/savings. Additional costs over and above the "purse" must be self funded. If a person has capital below certain thresholds e.g £23,250 in England, the council may subsidise or fully fund the care within their costs/ purse limits.

Harvey's care placements have featured on some of Katie's TV programmes. None of us can possibly know the details of his personal financial assessment, i.e. what capital he has and whether below £23,250 that is confidential. We do not know whether he has paid, or Katie has paid on his behalf, towards any of his adult his care to date.

Katie may be a marmite figure, but whatever you say about her she appears to always have supported Harvey's special care needs. What she has or not paid is immaterial and its unfair to make assumptions.

Good post, very well said, LemonJam
Some pertinent information in your post about the difficulties parents of children with disabilities and special needs face and the fears they feel as they age and wonder what will happen should they pre-decease their children.

Galaxy Wed 28-Jan-26 20:14:11

And also the expectations with regard to adults with additional needs, it is actually an important value that these adults are provided with a chance for independent living, in the same way that any grown adult would not remain permanently with their family.

She’s blooming bonkers!

BlueBelle Thu 29-Jan-26 05:00:44

Well that’s a carefully considered empathic post Purplepixie🤦‍♀️

MrsMatt Fri 30-Jan-26 18:46:35

Anything to kepp her name in the newspapers. I doubt if it will be ong before we hear of yet another divorce.

Maremia Fri 30-Jan-26 19:00:48

If Katie Price makes earns her living by being in the public view, then of course she will attempt to keep her name in the media.
So what? It's not a crime. Neither is divorce.

BlueBelle Fri 30-Jan-26 19:17:09

It’s actually been spoken of that it may not be a proper marriage but a publicity stunt perhaps that’s more likely

No need, as I posted upthread, the marriage was not official.

I wonder about him, too.
All the spotlight seems to be on Katie but I think she is vulnerable.
Was he taking advantage of a vulnerable woman for his own reasons?

The media will devote endless column inches and images 'building up' women like KP, knowing they can feed off the frenzy to knock them down when they inevitably succumb to the pressure of living in that unnatural world.

BlueBelle Sat 31-Jan-26 14:03:01

It appears Katie Price is back in UK as she needed to be with her children, he is staying in Dubai !!!so make of that whatever you will !
Publicity stunt ? maybe or hes dumped her already maybe.

Sadly true, Dickens.

Or perhaps he wasn't the Prince Charming she hoped for?

Katie Price I just the latest in the string of women whom Lee Andrew's has tried to con, according to reports in the media.

He says he’s a bil­lion­aire with a PhD from Cam­bridge who recently turned down the role of James Bond. Here we reveal Lee Andrews, who wed Katie Price days after meet­ing in Dubai, is the son of a coal miner with a string of furi­ous women he tried to con

is the son of a coal miner nowt wrong with that, it's everything else.
Those who have spoken include one of sev­eral furi­ous ex-girl­friends who once thought that the busi­ness­man, who has pre­vi­ously claimed to have been invited to meet Don­ald Trump at the White House, was also the man of their dreams.

^An acquaint­ance in Dubai also told me this week that he is ‘a world away from the knight in shin­ing armour per­sona he presents to women’.

‘He’s a wan­nabe,’ says the acquaint­ance of Andrews who some­times calls him­self ‘Weslee’ and uses the title ‘doc­tor’ without jus­ti­fic­a­tion.

‘The prob­lem is, he doesn’t know what he wants to be – one minute he’s pos­ing as a bil­lion­aire, the next he’s an actor and a model,’ adds the acquaint­ance. ‘He even claimed to have turned down the role of James Bond for the new Amazon films. He wants to be everything but most of all he’s des­per­ate to be fam­ous. It’s all smoke and mir­rors with Lee.’

Another woman he 'love-bombed' allegedly claimed that he asked her to trans­fer $18,000 (£13,000) into his bank account while telling her about the house he was buy­ing for them – a house which, she says, turned out to be a rental.

It seems as if he's a phoney. Just like the marriage he arranged.
You're well out of it, Katie.

Casdon Sat 31-Jan-26 14:29:56

It’s all just another publicity stunt I think, her life has to be dramatic for her to keep her name in the headlines. She is a troubled woman, but she is also shrewd about making money.

People do not like honesty though. They like parents to 'put on a brave face' even though it might be having a profound impact on you as a care giver.

People just like to hear the good bits smile

with respect to care, it's always about how well parents can navigate the system - the same with education. Nothing is transparent. CHC is a joke as well

TerriBull Sat 31-Jan-26 16:35:52

Her 20 year old son has said he's fed up with her dramas and wants no part of it. Neither does he want to congratulate her on a marriage to someone he has never met.

Harris27 Sat 31-Jan-26 16:45:01

She’s got a self destruct button that’s for sure but she’s got two lovely children that I’ve watched princess and her brother. I don’t know enough about the others haven’t seen much about them.
