EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: The sky’s the limit for Kate as she wins Cosmoss legal case

Kate Moss once stated that her motto was “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,” prompting criticism that she was encouraging eating disorders.

Now the model has made a dramatic U-turn by using her wellness brand to sell healthy nutritional supplements. I can reveal that she won a legal battle with a pharmaceutical company over the name of her lifestyle brand Cosmoss.

It means she has registered Cosmoss as a trademark for ranges such as herbal preparations for medicinal purposes, plus food and mineral supplements. “Kate has huge ambitions for the Cosmoss brand,” I’m told.

Moss, 49, (right) last year filed with the Intellectual Property Office (IPO) to use the Cosmoss trademark for applications ranging from aromatherapy candles, vitamin supplements and teas to magazines, videos and home furnishings. But I said that the Danish company Pharmacosmos had objected to her application.

The company, which makes products for people with an iron deficiency, has been around for more than 50 years.

She gave ‘danger of confusion’ as the reason for her objection. But now the opposition to Moss’ application has been withdrawn.

A newly filed update to the IPO shows that Cosmoss no longer intends to trademark goods intended for the treatment of iron deficiency, meaning there would be no clash with the Danish company. Moss launched Cosmoss last year to much fanfare, claiming it would “open a door” to “balance, recovery and love.”

It has been compared to a British version of Gwyneth Paltrow’s American wellness company Goop.

It was a change for Moss, who was branded “Cocaine Kate” in 2005 after photos surfaced of a newspaper claiming she was sniffing drugs in a music studio.

She lost her £1 million contract with H&M and booked herself into rehab.

The Duchess of Rutland’s 61st year is off to a flying start

The Duchess of Rutland got the rock star treatment for her birthday.

Emma Manners celebrated her 60th birthday by ‘crowdsurfing’ over guests at a lively party at Belvoir Castle in Leicestershire.

The Duchess, who lives in a separate wing of the castle from her estranged husband, the Duke of Rutland, stretched flat as she walked over the heads of the partygoers – looking like a rock star who had just stepped off stage in a concert audience had jumped. .

Made it to 60! With wings outstretched,” she jokes. “Seventy, here I come.” One of her three energetic daughters, Lady Alice Manners, can be seen on the far left helping to keep her mother aloft during the celebration, which was themed: Swinging Sixties and Seventies.

Chinese whispers for Boris’ father

Stanley Johnson is undeterred by Nigel Farage’s criticism of his close ties to China, in which the former UKIP leader accused him of being ‘in bed with the Chinese Communist Party’.

First, the former I’m A Celebrity contestant hosted the Chinese ambassador over lunch at his London home.

Now I hear that Stanley, 83, and his son Max had a dinner in their honor at Ambassador Zheng Zeguang’s residence.

“We have to move on with China,” he says. ‘Today more than ever it is necessary to build bridges from east to west and from west to east.’ Boris Johnson’s father returned from China last month after spending seven weeks filming his travels there.

The royal journey of the Shining King

Prince George shouldn’t have too much trouble getting into Eton, if Prince William chooses to send his son to his alma mater.

Still, King Charles may have increased his grandson’s chances of winning a seat anyway.

Ten-year-old George was seen with his parents in June attending a £50,000-a-year boarding school in Berkshire.

Now Sir Nicholas Coleridge, who will soon be announced as Eton’s new Provost, has spent the weekend with the King and Queen Camilla at Balmoral. Former magazine boss Conde Nast was joined by his vivacious wife Georgia. He is pictured at the Braemar Gathering, the most famous of the Highland Games.

Eton’s Provost – roughly equivalent to the head of the governors – is appointed by the monarch on the advice of the prime minister. Fortunately, Rishi Sunak was also at Balmoral.

Was there ever a magnanimous monarch than Queen Elizabeth II? I hear she offered Kathy Burke an OBE, even though the actress once called the Queen’s husband, Prince Philip, a “selfish bastard.” Burke, 59, known for roles in comedies like Absolutely Fabulous, boasts, “I was offered one,” in a discussion of awards on her Where There A Will, There A Wake podcast. Burke says she told officials, “No mate. Hold it.” Charming.

Jeffrey Archer mourns his personal assistant Alison Prince, who has passed away at the age of 59.

“It seems impossible to believe that this effervescent woman, who led my life with such skill and dedication, is no longer with us until just a few weeks ago,” the novelist tells us.

“After 26 years of being my advisor, confidante, and friend, she will be literally irreplaceable, as I recently found myself having double-booked appointments and showing up at the wrong place at the wrong time.”
