Katie Price told fans she 'don't need a king' in a defiant Instagram post on Monday, even as the search for her missing husband, Lee Andrews, took a sharp twist when his father said the on‑the‑run personal trainer is actually under arrest.
Price, 48, has spent nearly two weeks publicly appealing for information on Andrews, who she said had vanished without contact. The former glamour model has shared fragments of voice notes, cryptic quotes and emotional updates with her followers, framing the situation as a deeply worrying disappearance.
Police involvement has not been detailed publicly, and official confirmation of Andrews' status has yet to emerge, so much of what is circulating rests on family claims and social media interpretation rather than hard documentation.
Price's latest post, widely shared by fans, featured the line: 'I don't need a king to call me queen. I crowned myself.' It read like a line drawn in the sand, an assertion of independence from the man she only recently married and whose whereabouts she has repeatedly described as unknown.
Within hours, however, her Instagram feed veered back towards longing. In a follow‑up post, she shared three heart images: the first broken, with the caption 'Without you;' the second shown repaired, reading 'When I see you;' and the third a glowing, smiling heart beside the words 'When I'm with you.' Another slide then undercut the talk of not needing a king altogether: 'I choose you and I'll choose you over and over and over. Without pause. Without a doubt, in a heartbeat I'll keep choosing you.'
It is this whiplash between independence and devotion that has fuelled questions about what Price really knows about Andrews' situation, and how much of the story she is willing — or even able — to tell. She has already rolled back one of her earlier claims, quietly withdrawing a previous insistence that there was 'no suspicion' he had been arrested.
That suspicion hardened into something closer to a claim on Saturday, when Andrews' father, Pete, spoke to the Daily Mail. 'Lee is OK. He has not been kidnapped but he is under arrest,' he said. He admitted he did not know what his son had been arrested for, or where he was being held, adding only, 'He will call me later today. He is not at my house.'
Those remarks, unverified by any police statement, marked the first time a close family member publicly contradicted the narrative of a man simply vanishing.
To recall, Price had earlier suggested in a voice note that Andrews had been 'taken,' a phrase that drew immediate scrutiny. In a clip she later shared online — which she said offered a glimpse into the first hours after he disappeared — she could be heard trying to contact her father‑in‑law, Peter, to update him on what she believed had happened to her husband.
