Kate Moss, 41, and the count, 28, with thirst for blood

KATE Moss has formed a close bond with a blood drinking count 13 years her junior after her split from husband Jamie Hince.

Pals are speculating the 41-year-old supermodel is in the early stages of a new relationship with socialite Count Nikolai von Bismarck, 28.

He is close friends with princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and is said to sip goat’s blood for fun.
Kate is said to be “very taken” with the great, great grandson of Prince Otto Von Bismarck, the famed 19th century Iron Chancellor of Prussia.

Kate has long been close friends with Nikolai’s mother Debonair, 78, and is believed to have a portrait of the Countess in her home.

The spark between the pair comes three months after The Sun revealed that Kate and Kills rocker Jamie, 46, had split — due partly to his friendship with other women.

Photographer Nikolai, who is also pals with model Cara Delevingne, is believed to have met Kate through his work in the fashion industry.

A source said: “They’ve been seeing each other casually over the last couple of months.

“Nikolai has been spending a lot of time with Kate in the Cotswolds and in London. She has still been wearing her wedding ring so no one has suspected she might have moved on.

“But Nikolai’s been a good support for her and someone she’s relied on a lot. He’s a real rock ‘n’ roll artist type and he’s clicked with Kate. They’re partying a lot together.

“Kate is friends with his mum Debbie but she is apparently fine with it.

“Kate and Jamie are very much over but she knows the attention being seen without her ring on will cause.”

Last week Kate and Nikolai both attended the opening of pan-Asian restaurant Sexy Fish in London.

She was later seen heading to celeb haunt the Chiltern Firehouse, with her dress covered in white marks. On Sunday Nikolai and Kate were seen arriving separately for lunch with pals at a pub in Lechlade, Gloucs.

Nikolai was voted one of Britain’s most influential high society members by upmarket Tatler magazine.

The mag’s profile said: “Super-hot, in a young Bob Dylan-ish way, he once drank goat’s blood, but these days prefers to stick to cocktails.”

Otto’s Bismarcked men

Relative ... Nikolai is a direct descendant of Otto von Bismarck Hulton Getty

NIKOLAI is one of four men in the House of Bismarck’s latest generation.
He and brothers Tassilo, 26, Caspar, 24, and Alexander, 20, are direct descendants of the famous Otto von Bismarck.

The German noble family rose to prominence in the 19th century as Otto engineered a series of wars that unified states to form the German empire.

In 1871 he was given the rank Furst — or Prince.

Both Berlin and Hamburg host statues of him. Nikolai’s parents are Count Leopold and Debonnaire von Bismarck, who own a £7million Belgravia home.

Overdose ... Count Gottfried von Bismarck was a relative of Nikolai Desmond O'Neill

KATE’S friend was related to Count Gottfried von Bismarck, who died after a 2007 heroin overdose.

His death followed a two-day binge involving the drug and cocaine.

A pathologist told a hearing the 44-year-old’s body contained the highest level of cocaine he had ever
seen. The count was another descendant of “Iron Chancellor” Otto.

Gottfried’s decomposing body was found three days after his death on a grubby mattress at his £5million flat in Chelsea, West London. Two people had earlier died at his drug-fuelled parties.
