Katherine (born Katherine Ann Moss; 16 January 1974), familiarly known as Kate Moss, is Queen of Germany as the wife of King Georg Friedrich.
Known for her career in fashion, Katherine arrived at the end of the "supermodel era" where she gained much attention for her waifish figure. A highly-celebrated yet controversial figure, Katherine was once dropped from fashion campaigns following a drug use scandal in 2005 while her well-known partying lifestyle invited much media scrutiny. In 2008, the British Museum unveiled a £1.5 million 18 carat gold statue of her, making it her most famous cultural depiction to date.
In 2009, she married Germany's King Georg Friedrich, the great-great grandson of German Emperor Wilhelm II. Together, the couple have four children. In addition to this, Katherine also has a daughter Lila Moss from a previous relationship with magazine editor Jefferson Hack.
