Kate Moss' Prince Alarming: Pete Doherty
Edward Helmore, Vanity Fair, July 2005
IT'S 9 PM AT the Boogaloo in north London and Gerry O'Boyle, the proprietor of this dingy pub, says Kate and Pete are on their way. He means Kate Moss and her boyfriend Pete Doherty. Kieran, otherwise known as Ronnie and one of Doherty's inner circle of hangers-on and ne'er-do-wells, says he's not so sure - someone's tipped off the paparazzi, who have descended on the Boogaloo and could scare the lovers away.
