In a heartfelt revelation that offers a rare glimpse into the private world of music and fashion royalty, supermodel Kate Moss has shared an intimate detail of her friendship with the late, great David Bowie.
The Croydon-born icon, now 50, reminisced about her time with the 'Space Oddity' singer during a recent appearance on the 'Goodness' podcast with host Gurls Talk. She fondly recalled how Bowie bestowed upon her a unique and affectionate nickname, a memory she clearly holds dear.

"He called me 'The Princess'," Moss disclosed, her tone warm with nostalgia. This personal moniker, used by one of the most revered artists in history, highlights the special bond the two shared away from the glare of the paparazzi flashes.
Their paths first crossed in the electrifying fashion and music scene of the 1990s. Moss, then the fresh-faced face of a generation, and Bowie, the ever-evolving chameleon of rock, moved in the same illustrious circles, forging a connection that lasted years.

Moss elaborated on their relationship, describing it as a genuine and lasting friendship. "We were friends. I knew him for a long time," she stated, painting a picture of a connection built on mutual respect rather than mere celebrity acquaintance.
The model also touched on the profound sense of loss she felt following Bowie's passing in 2016 after a private battle with cancer. Her words serve as a poignant reminder of the man behind the legendary persona—Ziggy Stardust, Aladdin Sane, and The Thin White Duke—who was also a loyal and thoughtful friend.
This candid insight provides fans with a new, deeply human perspective on both Moss and Bowie, showcasing a tender side to a friendship between two giants of their respective industries.
