KATE MOSS swapped wellness crystals for cans of lager at the weekend as she partied among revellers at BST Hyde Park Festival.
In scenes reminiscent of her hedonistic Nineties antics, the supermodel, 51, knocked back the booze and enjoyed music by big names including Van Morrison and Neil Young.

Onlookers said she appears to be back on the party circuit.
'Kate was having it large at Hyde Park and was knocking back cans of Peroni,' one told me.
'She was hanging out in Van Morrison's private backstage area, before watching him from the side of the stage — before she went back to the bar for another drink.
'When she watched Neil Young, she flitted between the audience and the suites to keep the beers flowing.

'Kate sank a fair few drinks with her friends and quietly slipped away before Neil finished his set.
'The whole time she was laughing and giggling.
'Kate was quite literally the life and soul of the party. And there wasn't a crystal in sight.'
This isn't the first time fans have seen glimmers of the old Kate in action.
Last month, festivalgoers at Glastonbury claimed they saw her partying on Worthy Farm.
One told me: 'People keep saying they've seen Kate, but she's flying so under the radar no one can get a clear sighting of her.

'Wants to have fun'
'It's like old times when she'd been partying hard at Glastonbury until sunrise and everyone was looking out for her.
'There was a rumour going around that she was spotted in one of the VIP areas in Block 9 wearing a veil, but no one could say for sure it was her.'
My insiders tell me that Kate was, indeed at Glastonbury, but that she shunned on-site camping for a more comfortable stay at the nearby private members' club, Babington House.
'Kate wasn't up until late afternoon and would head over to Worthy Farm around 9pm,' one source explained.
'She stayed at Babington to stay away from the crowds, but she went to Glasto and had a riot.
'Lila, Kate's daughter, was there, too. They had a lot of fun.'
Fans who have stuck with the supermodel since she found fame as a teenager are, naturally, concerned.
The photographs of her partying with beers at BST came just weeks after the collapse of her wellness empire Cosmoss, which would be a bitter pill for her to swallow.
Just days before Glastonbury began, Kate's company called in liquidators.
In total, it owes unsecured creditors £2,939,729.
And papers signed by the supermodel revealed that Cosmoss has little more than £5,000 in the bank, with £241,000 of leftover stock.
Kate launched the brand in 2022 after the lockdown put paid to her partying.
Back in 2020, one of her closest pals, DJ Fat Tony, said she had been sober for two years.
And as she launched Cosmoss, Kate unveiled a rebranded version of herself to fans.
She said at the time: 'I had time on my hands. I wanted to create something that would help me feel more grounded, something I could share.
'Cosmoss was literally blended at my kitchen table.' The range — which is no longer available to order — included teas, a face oil and a 'sacred mist' which is said to 'provide a sense of inner peace'.

In the interviews that followed to promote her products, Kate gave an insight into her clean new world and said she had started bathing in the moonlight to cleanse herself.
She revealed: 'I like to start my day with tea and meditation, followed by some Pilates or yoga.'
Highlighting her love of wellness crystals, she added: 'I put them out in the garden overnight when it's a full moon to cleanse them. I really believe in their power, and believe in the mystical and spiritual side of wellness.'
Cracks in Kate's wellness journey began to show in 2023, when she stepped back into the spotlight and was out partying more.
She was seen holding hands with the singer Skip Marley – grandson of reggae legend Bob – during a party in Turkey in May last year.
'Back out there'
That was before being filmed falling out of a taxi during Lila's 22th birthday celebrations in Paris in October.
It was Kate's return to her party lifestyle, pals claim, that influenced the break-up with her teetotal boyfriend of nine years, British photographer Nikolai Von Bismarck.
In December, friends told this newspaper that the pair were going on 'different journeys'. One pal revealed: 'Kate feels fabulous and she wants to get back out there and have some fun.'
And they weren't kidding. For her 51st birthday celebrations in January, a month after the split with Nikolai, Kate partied at three different venues across London.
The revelry was in stark contrast to her more demure 50th, when she held a low-key bash in Paris for a tight-knit group of friends.
But this year, Kate hired out a suite in the Dorchester in Park Lane, before throwing a dinner at the hotel's luxury restaurant, China Tang.
She was joined by celebrity including Nineties party pal Stella McCartney and Jade Jagger.

Kate then headed to The Globe in Notting Hill, West London, with her group, where they partied until the early hours of the morning.
While many fans and followers welcomed the old Kate back with open arms, others were concerned about her behaviour.
Even more so after a bizarre video of her at Paris Fashion Week this March went viral.

'Prime of her life'
In the clip, from Isabel Marant's show, Kate was seen acting erratically and jerking from side to side.
One fan said on social media: 'Why is she so fidgety? This just makes me anxious.'
Another added: 'Why is nobody talking about this? I feel sad every time I see this.'
Meanwhile, on TikTok, another worried fan wrote: 'Why did they post this? Kate is seemingly not OK.' Less than a week after the video, Kate was photographed holding a bottle of Corona beer and puffing away on a cigarette as she walked through central London.
Kate's a woman in the prime of her life and she wants to have fun
Friend
It is a stark contrast to the clean-living wellness guru of two years ago.
Friends close to Kate insist there is nothing for people to worry about.
'Kate's a woman in the prime of her life and she wants to have fun,' one told me.
'She hangs out with Lila a lot, too, and thinks of herself as a 'cool mum' who can keep up with the young ones.
'People are shocked because it's not the Kate they've seen for a while, but she likes a few drinks and she smokes like a chimney — albeit she's using vapes now because they're 'healthier'. She's always the one to get a party started and wants to get back out there and enjoy life.
'The people speculating about her on social media need to stop worrying so much.
'Kate has just come back from Ibiza with Lila and she had a great time at BST.
'She'll focus on closing down Cosmoss, then will be looking for her next venture. 'Kate isn't a woman who can be kept down for long.'

Kate and William eyeing move from Adelaide Cottage to grander royal home
The Waleses are looking to upsize from their modest Adelaide Cottage in the grounds of Windsor Castle and an insider says that they are considering a mansion which was the favourite of Edward Vll Prince William and Kate are house hunting as they look to upsize to a grander royal residence and insiders reportedly say they have one favourite. The Waleses moved to Adelaide Cottage three years ago and while it is comfortable for them in the grounds of Windsor Castle it was unlikely to be their long-term base. The four-bedroom pad is fairly modest by royal standards and it is understood that they have been quietly on the lookout for alternatives. Adelaide Cottage is a fraction of the size of the Wales family's former full-time - a palatial apartment in Kensington Palace and they want a bigger place for kids George, Charlotte and Louis. And it appears as though the favourite location is Fort Belvedere, a stunning gothic revival mansion in Windsor Great Park. Sources have told the Mail on Sunday that William and Kate could be looking at Fort Belvedere which was built in the 18th century and was the preferred home of Edward Vlll before he abdicated to marry Wallis Simpson. It was renovated by Edward who put in a swimming pool, tennis court and stables and it is a huge property which has a long path to the entrance and even has a moat running around it. William and Kate are understood to have considered the vacant Fort Belvedere previously before deciding on Adelaide Cottage. At that point they are believed to have thought Adelaide Cottage was more suitable as it was closer to Queen Elizabeth and they also wanted to give their children a more down to earth start. But now the situation has moved on and the grade ll-listed property could be the answer. "They feel they have outgrown Adelaide Cottage and need somewhere more substantial," a source told the outlet. "This is the perfect new home for them. It has a swimming pool and tennis court, and Charlotte loves playing tennis." Previously it has also been suggested that the Waleses could have a larger base through an annex building by Adelaide Cottage which would avoid them having to move. "Nobody knows that there is quite a spacious red-brick annex building that's not being used next door to Adelaide Cottage. It's currently inhabitable and needs extensive renovation works if it were to be used," a source told the Express. "Discussions have been ongoing for a while about using the property as part of the overall cottage grounds, but it's just about finding the right time to kick the project off."

Rio Ferdinand claps back at trolls on wife Kate's bikini pictures
Rio Ferdinand has stepped in to defend his wife Kate after she was criticised for sharing holiday pictures that featured her in a bikini. The TV personality and influencer shared a carousel of photos from recent family time abroad on Saturday morning. 'July has been full of memories (& food) in our home from home,' she captioned the post, which included pictures of her and her husband holding hands outside a front door, a spread of tasty-looking food, time hanging out on the beach together and the family jumping into the pool together. Naturally for someone enjoying a holiday abroad in the sun, Kate was seen in swimwear – and her choices were olive green and black bikinis. Among pictures and videos Kate had shared playing with her kids, she'd also shared a happy selfie, wearing orange-tinted sunglasses, from a towel lying out on the grass in the shade. In another picture, she'd snapped a classic bathroom selfie while in her black bikini, her hair wet from swimming. 'Don't think you need to show in a bikini [sic.],' observed Brenda Weaver in the comments section. It's not clear which photo had offended her, but Rio was having none of it. Within minutes of her posting the remark, Rio had responded: '@brendaweav1 ffs Brenda have a day off 😘' Softening the retort with an emoji but not mincing his words earned both Rio and Kate an avalanche of support with the former footballer's comment garnering 1,247 likes alone. 'Why not? She looks sensational 😍 xx,' added @kellyannw1980. '@rioferdy5 😂😂😂 Tell dem,' responded @may_yomi10. The 46-year-old pundit and ex-England captain and his wife, 34, share five kids together. Son Cree came along in December 2020, while daughter Shae turned two just days ago. Kate is also step-mum to Rio's teenage kids Lorenz, 19, Tate, 16 and 14-year-old Tia, whom he had with late wife Rebecca Ellison. Rebecca tragically died of breast cancer in May 2025, aged just 34. Kate demonstrated her sweet relationship with the teenagers after Tate left two hearts in the comments of her post. 'Omg! You commented on my picture. Must be my lucky day!! 🤣,' she responded to the footballer with Brighton & Hove Albion FC's U18 team. She had also previously shared a snap of her taking a photo of Tia in a summery outfit outdoors – with her face covered by a yellow heart emoji – on her Instagram Stories, joking: 'Hey, I'm Kate, Tia's personal photographer.' In April it was reported that Rio and Kate are eyeing up a move to Dubai – which was likely where they were spending their down time in July. More Trending It's where the couple first met while Kate was on holiday in 2016, being introduced through a mutual friend, before they got together in 2017 and married in Turkey in September 2019. The Sun reported that they were 'seriously considering being based out in the Gulf' and had already started looking at possible homes and schools. 'They love the lifestyle and sunny weather and have lots of friends out there. It's a very safe place for families and offers a healthy lifestyle, which suits them well,' a source told the publication. 'It holds a special place in their hearts as that's where they met and both could easily travel back and forth for their work commitments in the UK.' Got a story?

The moment Prince William acted as a 'human shield' between feuding Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, according to body language expert
All eyes were on the Royal Family as they watched, united on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, a historic flypast to mark a century of the Royal Air Force. The Queen led a day of national celebrations on July 10, 2018, which saw 100 aeroplanes, one for each year of the RAF, glide over the iconic balcony. Earlier, more than 2,200 people attended a Westminster Abbey service, including the then prime minister Theresa May, secretary of state for defence Gavin Williamson and Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn. After the service, the family met veterans, personnel, charity representatives and members of the civil service. And, while all seemed smooth-sailing on the surface, looking back to that day, eagle-eyed royal observers have noticed a potential early sign that not all was well between Meghan and Kate at the Westminster service. As Kate, with Meghan behind her, greets the Dean of Westminster, The Very Reverend Dr John Hall, Prince William steps in between them. Body language expert Judi James told MailOnline: 'Superficially, and with the benefit of hindsight, now that we know about the tricky relationship between Meghan and Kate, this looks very much like a devoted and protective husband strategically and very pointedly stepping between his wife and her nemesis in the form of a human shield. 'William's body language shows he is clearly aware that Harry and Meghan have honed into position behind him and he immediately ducks his head to move to stand next to his wife, even sucking his lips inward in what is often a signal of regret.' The encounter came months after Meghan and Kate allegedly clashed over bridesmaids dresses at Meghan's wedding. While accounts of what happened vary, initial reports suggested that Meghan had made Kate cry during a disagreement over Princess Charlotte's outfit - which the Suits actress later denied. In his book, Yes, Ma'am: The Secret Life Of Royal Servants, Tom Quinn claims both women were 'really upset' by the incident. A former member of staff told the author: 'The truth is that during the discussions about the bridesmaid's dress, Meghan said a few things she regretted and Kate said a few things she later regretted but it was all in the heat of the moment. 'Both women were crying their eyes out!' The unnamed employee went on to explain that the incident was 'subtly altered' and 'made more significant than it really is' by the media. This resulted in the disagreement becoming a 'marker for all the other problems that Meghan had with Kate and with William and other members of the family'. However, Meghan gave a different version of events in her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021. She insisted that she was the one who had been hurt in the exchange, not Kate. Meghan explained that Kate was upset about something, but later took responsibility, apologised, and even brought her flowers. 'It wasn't a confrontation,' Meghan said. 'I don't think it's fair to her to get into the details of that, because she apologised. 'What was hard to get over was being blamed for something that, not only I didn't do, but that happened to me. 'And the people who were part of our wedding were going to our comms team and saying, "I know this didn't happen. I don't have to tell them what actually happened".' The discussion served as yet another example of the late Queen's famous phrase, 'recollections may vary', which she famously used in response to the comments made by Harry and Meghan during the Oprah interview that an unnamed member of the family raised the issue of how dark their unborn baby Archie's skin would be while Meghan she was pregnant. Though the bridesmaids dress incident continues to be disputed, it remains one of the most talked-about moments leading up to the Sussexes' wedding - and a lingering factor in the family's rift. William, Charles and Harry are pictured in an official portrait in the gardens of Buckingham Palace ahead of RAF 100 commemorations on July 10, 2018 The body language expert offered an alternative explanation to William's body language at the RAF event. Judi said: 'There is a spatial gap between William and Meghan that doesn't really show at this angle. 'When the royals greet their hosts at services like this, there is something of a royal queue with gaps that can turn into a log jam if a royal keeps chatting, as Kate often can. 'Meghan was new to the royal Firm and William's body language to this point had shown him being friendly and welcoming. 'This movement and change of position could be the kind of adjustment you make to the position of a group at a party when someone new comes to join in. 'It is rude to keep your back to the newcomer as it is a sign of rejection. So, we often shuffle to ensure we encompass the new arrival. 'Meghan would not have been allowed to join William and Kate here as the pecking order is firm, but it would be completely conceivable for a very polite William to move in to place to ensure his back is not turned against her as she arrived behind him. 'He does move back as soon as the procession takes off so that his and Kate's backs are naturally and inevitably turned to Harry and his wife. At the time of the Royal Foundation forum, Harry said 'working as family does have its challenges', but insisted 'we're stuck together for the rest of our lives' Bridesmaid dress-gate! How reports of Kate and Meghan arguing ahead of wedding unfolded May 2018 - Meghan Markle and Prince Harry tie the knot in St George's Chapel in Windsor The bridesmaids, including Jessica Mulroney's daughter Ivy and Princess Charlotte, have bare legs November 2018 - The Telegraph's royal editor Camilla Tominey wrote she had 'spoken to two separate sources who claim Kate was left in tears following a bridesmaids dress fitting for Princess Charlotte' May 2020 - Tatler reports the two argued over protocol of the young bridesmaids wearing tights or having bare legs March 2021 - Meghan confirms there was a disagreement in her bombshell Oprah Winfrey interview, but she says it was actually the Duchess of Cambridge who made her cry Royal expert Katie Nicholl says Kate 'never wanted' reports of a rift to come out in the press and has found the situation 'mortifying' January 2023: Harry's memoir reveals new rifts between the Sussexes and William and Kate 'It is conceivable that William was trying to be polite to Meghan here, although it is also equally conceivable that he might turn himself into something of a buffer between the two women as he did so if he was aware of any friction.' While the Sussexes did not step down from the Royal Family until 2020, there had been signs of discord between the brothers and their partners even before the wedding. In his book Spare, Harry detailed how Meghan asked to borrow lipgloss from Kate ahead of their appearance at the first Royal Foundation forum summit in February 2018. He wrote that Kate was surprised, but rummaged around in her bag before offering it to Meghan. He claimed that Meghan applied a little gloss to her finger and rubbed it across her lips before Kate made a 'disgusted' face. The summit marked the first official appearance of the 'Fab Four' to announce that Meghan would become the fourth patron of the Royal Foundation. At the time, Harry said 'working as family does have its challenges', but insisted 'we're stuck together for the rest of our lives'. But according to reports, it was an 'awkward' affair as Meghan took up the majority of the airtime, which apparently did not sit well with Kate. There is a litany of reasons why the brothers and their partners no longer see eye to eye, but tensions between Meghan and Kate were certainly an aggravating factor. As reports of peace talks made recent headlines, many royal observers hope that this could be a sign of reconciliation between the Sussexes and the Royal Family.
