Princess, 18, looked just like her glamour model mum with her hair in its natural blonde curls as she posed in a white bikini adorned with pink flowers.
And mum Katie approved of the snaps, commenting: “My little stunner.”
In the first snap, she wore a crocheted crop top with her bikini bottoms, as she posed on the deck of a boat.
After going for a swim with her brother Junior, which was filmed for the series, she is seen in another picture pulling herself out of the shimmer blue waters to climb back onboard.

Referencing the scene which aired in the third episode of her docuseries, Princess captioned the snaps: “Apparently fish love me… for all the wrong reasons. If you know, you know.”
She was referring to a moment in the series when she panicked that there were jellyfish in the water as her brother threw her an inflatable flamingo.
It seems Princess is happy to keep the focus on her TV endeavours while her parents are locked in a feud on social media.
In recent weeks, Katie Price has taken a series of swipes at ex Peter Andre on her podcast, blaming him and his management – who also represent Princess – for not allowing her to appear in the ITV2 show.
Peter Andre’s statement in full
Peter hit back after Katie’s claims on her recent podcast that she was being frozen out of Princess’s career – despite Princess living with her.
Peter wrote on Instagram: “For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silence has been incredibly frustrating.
“That ends today.
“The latest comments about my children’s welfare and living arrangements compel me to set the record straight.
“For well-documented reasons, and for their safety, Junior and Princess came into my care in 2018 and remained with me until they reached adulthood.
“In 2019, the family courts issued a legally binding order to enforce this arrangement. I have never made this public before out of respect for my children.”
“In 2011 and 2015, publicly documented court cases found my ex wife had made false claims. She was ordered to pay substantial damages and legal costs, and to apologise, to me and my management.
“The same falsehoods are being repeated today.”
“Unfortunately, there are many more lies and baseless accusations that I have yet to address. Those will be dealt with in the coming months.”
His statement came just hours after Katie claimed that Princess was living with her on her latest podcast.
She said: “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 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.”
But last night, Peter had had enough and posted a blistering statement to his instagram.
He began: “For sixteen years I have stayed silent in the face of repeated lies from my ex-wife and her family, out of respect for my children and loved ones, but staying silence has been incredibly frustrating.
“That ends today.”

He went on to claim Princess and Junior have been in his care “for their safety” since 2018.
He claimed this was made legally binding the following year, something he says he didn’t go public about to protect the kids.
He also vowed that he was dealing with “baseless accusations” from Katie and her camp.
After Peter’s surprise statement, Katie hit back via her rep.

They told The Sun: “Kate is in a much better and clear headspace and is at peace with the situation.
“This was in the past and she doesn’t feel the need to bring up tit for tat comments, but more importantly she’s dealing with this the right way and it’s now in her lawyers hands.
“Kate will no longer be gaslighted and bullied as she once was.”
Following Katie’s comments, Peter’s manager Claire Powell, who also once managed Katie, spoke out.
She shared a post on her Instagram story that read: “The most dangerous anger comes from someone with a good heart.
“They hold it in, stay calm, and forgive, until one day they can’t anymore.
“Don’t push a good person too far.”
After all the back and forth, Princess broke her silence on the fallout earlier today.
On snapchat, one fan asked “Does it affect you even now when your mum and dad don’t get on?”.
Princess responded: “To be honest it doesn’t affect me. At the end of the day, they broke up when I was two years old so I don’t even have any memory of them being together,” she said.
Over the top of the clip, Princess wrote: “I love my mum and dad and that’s all that matters.”
