Branson last week discussed his plan to join other tourists paying 38,000 each for a submarine dive to the wreck of the Titanic in the North Atlantic . The Virgin boss said: It is something I am very keen to do. m deadly serious about this and I would love to invite Kate to come with me.
Wouldn’t it be something if the star of Titanic really got to go down to the real ship? m going to talk to her but I’m sure it’s an opportunity she will jump at.’
Miss Winslet, who is dating Branson’s nephew Ned Rocknroll, starred as Rose opposite Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack as ill-fated lovers in Titanic, which won 11 Oscars and is the second highest-grossing film of all time behind Avatar, earning more than £1?billion at the box office.
Titanic director James Cameron plans to return to the wreck in April on the first of five planned tourist trips to mark the 100th anniversary of the ship’s sinking.
A source said: ‘Richard and Kate would likely go on that first trip with James. Richard is talking to Kate about it. He also wants his kids to go on the expedition.
‘Richard loves a great adventure and what bigger adventure is there than diving two-and-a-half miles down to see the resting place of the most famous ship in history?’
The Titanic sank on April 15, 1912, with the loss of 1,517 lives during her maiden voyage from Southampton to New York . She lies in 12,500ft of water 380 miles south-east of Newfoundland in the North Atlantic .

Mr McCallum added: ‘Diving two-and-a-half miles down is not something you ever take for granted. The submersible team are consummate professionals and although it looks smooth, it is not without its challenges. This is the technical equivalent of a space walk. Daily Mail
The CIPD said the employers hiring intentions index dropped from minus ۱ in the third quarter to minus 3 in the fourth quarter with the vacancies on offer expected to keep falling for the rest of the year as well as in the medium term.
Based on the CIPD report, jobs market confidence in the public sector will even deteriorate in 2012.
This is while, in the next three months the private sector's number of jobs will grow but at a slower pace compared with the previous months.
"The figures point to a slow, painful contraction in the jobs market,” said CIPD public policy adviser Gerwyn Davies.
"Many firms appear to be locked in wait-and-see mode, with some companies scaling back on all employment decisions against a backdrop of increasing uncertainty as a result of the eurozone crisis and wider global economic turmoil,” he added.
Davies also said that the findings mean fewer firms will be seeking redundancies in the private sector though a parallel unwillingness to absorb more people alongside the job cuts in the public sector would lead to an overall rise in unemployment.
"The good news resulting from this lull in business activity is that fewer employers are looking to relocate abroad or make redundancies,” he said.
"The downside is that recruitment intentions are falling, which will make further rises in unemployment therefore seem inevitable given that public sector job losses are outpacing the predictions made by the Office for Budget Responsibility,” he added.
Davies also warned that the market conditions are sending no signals that suggest the Labour market would improve “in the short or medium term.
UK: Downing Street defended its resident cat Larry on Monday after British Prime Minister David Cameron reportedly flung a fork at a mouse that had escaped the tabby’s attention.
The Daily Mail newspaper said Cameron saw the mouse during a dinner with Cabinet colleagues at 10 Downing Street in central London and hurled a silver folk at the rodent as it scuttled across the floor.
Larry was recruited from a strays’ home as Downing Street’s “mouser-in-chief” in February after a rat was spotted in television news bulletins scurrying around outside the famous black door of the PM’s residence.
Asked whether Larry should resign, Cameron’s official spokesman said only: “Larry brings a lot of pleasure to a lot of people”.
Cameron was dining with Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith and Northern Ireland Secretary Owen Paterson when the mouse appeared, the Daily Mail said. Cameron’s fork missed the rodent and Duncan Smith reportedly demanded: “Where’s Larry when you need him?”
In a June update, Cameron told the BBC that Larry had caught three mice but was “not very keen on men”, despite him enjoying a stroke from US President Barack Obama in May.
His first confirmed kill was in April, when he was also seen slinking around the Cabinet table wearing a Union Jack bow tie to celebrate Prince William’s wedding. But Downing Street insiders have hinted that he was more interested in sleeping on the job than putting the frightners on inner-city rodents.Larry’s predecessor was Sybil, who moved in with then finance minister Alistair Darling in 2007 but returned to Edinburgh after six months, having failed to settle in London.
