Here are some photos of Kate Moss on May 2, where she attended the New York fundraising event for The King’s Trust, formerly The Prince’s Trust. Kate is actually somewhat friendly with the Windsors and she turns up to royal events sometimes, especially fundraisers. I remember, years ago, Moss came out for some royal-adjacent fundraiser which was supposed to be attended by Prince William and then-Duchess Kate. Keen ended up skipping and Moss greeted William with “where’s your wife?” Moss was a #WhereIsKate Truther before any of us! Well, last Wednesday, Buckingham Palace hosted its second garden party of the season. The focus for the party was supposed to be “the creative arts,” so it was an excuse for King Charles and Queen Camilla to mingle with celebrities. Kate Moss was supposed to go to the party, but she skipped and no one knows why. It sounds like the palace is pissed about it!

She is an ever-present fixture at A-list parties around the world. But Kate Moss failed to turn up to a star-studded Buckingham Palace garden party hosted by King Charles and Queen Camilla last week – leaving organisers flummoxed and put-out. The 50-year-old supermodel had been among more than 4,000 guests from the worlds of showbusiness and fashion invited to celebrate Britain’s creative arts industry.

The Mail on Sunday can reveal that officials were particularly exasperated because Ms Moss had asked for her ticket back after initially declining the invitation – only then not to show up at all. The British Fashion Council had been forced to intervene on her behalf just a few days before the event to ensure her a spot.

A source said: ‘After all the wrangling, Kate was a no-show on the day. She made her decision so late that briefing notes were sent out ahead of the event which listed her as a guest. Even now there are articles online which say she was attending, even though she was nowhere to be seen.’

Designer Stella McCartney – Kate’s best friend and fellow fashion wild child – was also invited but did not attend, citing ‘work commitments’.

Last night, a friend of Kate, who is a keen smoker, quipped that the model’s absence may have had something to do with the fact that cigarettes were not allowed at the garden party. Another source said: ‘Everyone behind the scenes was desperate to see Kate and were so disappointed she didn’t come. Staff were wandering around looking for her.’

The source said it had been a surprise that Ms Moss had not turned up. ‘It’s a money-can’t-buy event so there are very few people in the world who would not take up their place on the Buckingham Palace lawn to see the King and Queen, and even fewer who would be so impolite about it,’ they added.

The model’s no-show comes after she was seen clambering on to the stage at a Skip Marley concert in Turkey last weekend and had to be ushered away by guards. Later, she was seen holding hands with Skip, the 27-year-old grandson of the late reggae superstar Bob Marley.

Perhaps Moss was too busy partying or recovering from partying to make it to the palace on time. Or perhaps, given the behind-the-scenes wrangling, Moss’s snub was rather pointed. Like, it sounds as if there was some chaos about whether or not she would even get an invitation, and she was just like, “who needs this drama?” Also: “It’s a money-can’t-buy event so there are very few people in the world who would not take up their place on the Buckingham Palace lawn to see the King and Queen…” Charles was literally making small-talk with C-list reality stars, let’s not pretend this was the classiest, most A-list event ever. It sounds like the palace had high hopes that A-listers like Kate Moss and Stella McCartney would turn up and they’re mad that their garden party looked so unremarkable.

Kate Moss turns 50 years old in January. I can’t believe it! It never felt like Moss had a bad era or a transition away from a high-paced modeling career. If she still wanted to walk every major runway, all of those designers would gladly hire her. She still fronts multiple ad campaigns and she still does editorial work. But like many Gen-Xers, Kate Moss has gotten into side gigs. She has her own modeling agency, she has an official role as a creative director for Diet Coke, and now she has her own wellness brand, Cosmoss. She recently chatted about all of that with the Times of London. Some highlights:

She’s in bed by 11pm: Today, you can find her tucked up in bed by 11pm at home in the Cotswolds, watching 1990s sitcoms. “Frasier is my bedtime watch,” she said. “It just puts me to sleep.” Other nights she “moonbathes” — the ayurvedic practice of lying under the light of the moon in order to absorb lunar energy — or, when the moon is full, “charges” her crystals. “I put all my crystals on a tray and put them outside in the garden,” she said. “Just cleansing the crystal, charging the crystals.”

Her wellness brand: She’s launching her own wellness brand, Cosmoss, selling herbal tea and beauty products that aim to balance “body and soul with the natural environment and the circadian cycles”.

She still smokes: “I still smoke occasionally. I’ve heard that when you stop, you can really tell [by your skin]. But I haven’t stopped … yet.”

Affirmations: In the mornings she practises transcendental meditation for ten minutes and recites affirmations — favourites include “embrace the unknown” and “trust the universe and it will lead the way” — as well as doing ashtanga yoga or reformer Pilates. She tried waking up at 4am for a period of time, but “I was just so exhausted by the time everyone else got up”.

She has a veggie garden: She grows potatoes, tomatoes, onions, garlic, lettuce and rocket in her vegetable patch, cooking Sunday lunch for her daughter, Lila, 20.

Her 50th birthday: She is in “denial” about getting older. Her birthday is in January. “I’m not turning 50. No. I’m not thinking about it. I do not feel 50.” When asked whether she has had any “tweakments” — which include injectables such as filler or Botox — she said: “No comment. Au naturel. Next [question].”

She’s not into the party life anymore: “I’m not really into it. I do get Fomo [fear of missing out] sometimes, like, ‘Oh I wish I’d gone to that or was hanging out with everybody.’ When I do go out I leave at midnight — that’s my cut-off. I’ve seen everyone, everyone’s talked sense. After that [time] people start repeating themselves. So then I go home.”

Skincare: When she was younger, she said, she “didn’t give a sh-t about what I used” as skincare and “never” wore suncream. Today, her brand Cosmoss sells day and night cream (£95), pro-collagen oil (£105) and face cleanser (£52). “Lots of brands think about the science and the ingredients. Cosmoss has all that — but what I wanted was something that was actually going to ground you and connect you to the universe. Because that’s what I need: connection.”

I mean, I appreciate that someone like Kate Moss – who has lived a life of excess, drugs, cigarettes and rock ‘n roll – is trying to sell wellness crap too. I don’t even think it was some kind of huge scheme on her part – Kate doesn’t care if the wellness industry is booming, she’s already a wellness consumer and she wanted to make some products too. Anyway, I believe her about her quieter life these days. She’s not at every fashion event anymore, she’s rarely seen out in London during the day or night, she’s not falling out of clubs. The thing that surprised me the most is the part about her vegetable garden though. Who would have thought that “Cocaine Kate” would one day have a little veggie garden?
