It comes as Katie, 47, and Princess, 18, are currently going through a rough patch in their relationship, as exclusively revealed by The Sun.
But Katie has now insisted that she’s a “bloody good mum” to her five children and wants to sit down with Pete to discuss their issues once and for all.
The TV personality said on the latest episode of her Katie Price Show podcast: “There’s no reason why both parents just can’t be there to support her. Now this isn’t about me. I have to clarify this.
“I don’t care that I’m not in Princess’s show.
“I don’t need to raise my profile by being on Princess’s show, I do enough stuff.
“All what I want to do, is just whatever my daughter does, and it’s the same with Junior, I don’t care if I’m in the background, but I want to watch her do her photo shoots, I wanna watch her do her signings, because that’s what I did.
“And my mom and you and Nan used to come along and support, and I’m proud of her.
“And I just wanna be there with her because I now I feel that I’ve missed out on so much.”
Katie said she believes that she and Pete needs to come to hash things out to make life easier for their two kids – Princess and Junior, 20.
“It’s so not fair to bring princess piggy in the middle. So I think it’s about time all of us adults just sit down and talk about what their beef is with me and just get over it,” Katie said.

“Life would be more at peace because I don’t have a problem.
“I just think life would be a better place.
“Well, I’m not saying we all have to be best buddies, best friends, but come on.
“For the sake of the children, there’s room for everyone to support your kids.
“Do you know what I mean? I’m not saying I have to stand with them and play happy families.”
Katie’s suggestion of a meet-up comes after the star admitted she’s feeling left out of certain parts of her children’s life.
She continued: “Like, I’ve missed out so much with Princess.
“I haven’t watched the show, but, people have told me how proud I should be of the kids and how they Princess does talk highly of me all the way through it so although I’m not in the show she speaks about me all the time which is really sweet but why wouldn’t she because she lives with me and this is another thing I need to clear up, the kids have never lived just with Pete, we’ve shared the kids.
“I am a bloody good mum. People can even see that with Harvey.
“Like, I am a good mum and it’s so much easier, I have found out, when you have a child on your own without the other half involved because I’ve never had a problem with Harvey.
“It’s just been me, the family, and Harvey. And I hate it that when people split up, it always gets messy and the kids shouldn’t be used.”
Katie concluded: “But I am absolutely proud of of Princess. Me and Princess are so, so close.
“We’ve never ever ever had an argument till this day, and we still text and ring each other every day.”
It was previously reported that there was a big fall out after Katie wasn’t allowed to go to Princess’ 18th birthday party, hosted by her ex, and her daughter’s dad, Peter.
In part one of the fourth episode of The Princess Diaries, Princess was asked by her famous father who she wanted at her party – and it appeared to not include Katie.
Princess turned 18 back in June, and at the time Katie claimed she wasn’t invited because she had been banned from appearing in The Princess Diaries.
Speaking on her The Katie Price Show podcast at the time, she said: “Everyone knows she’s doing this documentary – and I’m not in it.
“Certain people don’t think it’s good for Princess to be seen with me. Certain people that used to look after me.”
Her sister Sophie chipped in: “You aren’t on brand Katie. You are too risky Katie that’s why.”
Katie then said: “It’s pathetic. I’m her mother.
“I’m just saying, Princess was like ‘I’m having a party’. And I wasn’t invited because it was for ‘filming.'”
Sophie added: “Oh of course it was! I wonder what restaurant did that for free.”
Continuing the rant, Katie said: “The fact is there’s stuff my daughter is doing and I’m not allowed to be seen at any of it.”
The Sun revealed how the documentary has caused a huge rift between Princess and her famous mum.
Katie previously vented about those working with her daughter after The Sun revealed her secret heartache about being cut out of her TV show.
She even vowed not to watch her daughter’s reality show, after feeling left out of such an important thing in Princess’ life.
Earlier this week, Katie shared a cryptic message saying “your mum is not your enemy”.
Sharing a quote on her Instagram stories, Katie urged that as a mum she is “not trying to control” but instead “trying to protect”
The quote also acknowledged how she “may not be perfect” but is “the only woman in this world” who wants the best for her children.
