Taking to Instagram, the Mysterious Girl hitmaker gushed over his teenage daughter as he celebrated her milestone day with a heartwarming gallery of unseen photographs from Princess' childhood. Relive the young star's most adorable childhood moments in the clip below…
Peter, 50, got candid about his "often moody daughter" in the caption of his post.
"Happy 16th birthday to my sweet, kind, caring and, let’s be honest, often moody daughter," he wrote. "Hope today is everything you wish for. Pancakes are ready when you come downstairs as requested. But you still have to clean your plate. A princess to everyone else but always Bista to me."

"It's been great watching her grow up over the years from a tiny baby, Junior too," chimed in a third fan, as a fourth wrote: "She is so lovely a credit to you."

Opening up about the conflicting feelings he was experiencing after dropping his son off at the airport, Peter posted a video on Instagram: "So I've just left the airport… Junior's going off on holiday with his friend. He's 18 man!" Peter began.

"He's with people I know so I know he's going to have a good time and he's performing in Ibiza Rocks… Ah man, it's hard you know, because you know now legally he's an adult. Anyway, just having a moment and wanted to share, hope you don't mind."
