The image instantly sparked a discussion among fans over whether the former glamour model should be altering her daughter's looks at such a young age. 

One commentor wrote: 'Would be better if u stopped putting straighteners on it,' while another added: 'Not naturally straight though! Please don't ruin her beautiful curls!'

The new picture comes just two months after Katie upset followers by treating Princess to a makeover while she was supporting her mum in the Sleeping Beauty pantomime in Woking. 

Also sporting her mother's Wicked Fairy headpiece for the pictures and what looked like false nails as they played dress-up, not all of Katie's followers found the images to be in good taste.

Too much too soon? The mum-of-five took to Instagram to share a picture of her eldest daughter with her naturally curly locks in a sleek style, writing: 'Princess soo lucky to have natural long blonde hair #family'
