THE McCARTNEY divorce is going to be the most bitter high-profile split since Charles and Diana’s ten years ago. Heather Mills, dubbed Lady Mucca after The Sun exposed her porno past, has hired the same lawyers used by the late Princess as she battles Macca for his millions.Although she once claimed she had no interest in the former Beatle’s £800million fortune, ex-hooker Heather went to see top divorce firm Mishcon de Reya this week. The Monday meeting she had with SIX of their top legal eagles went on for FIVE HOURS. A source close to the 38-year-old ex-model said: “They wanted to go through every minute detail about the marriage and forthcoming divorce. Heather now has a month to get her defence in before the divorce takes place.”
She has ordered the London-based legal team to fight Sir Paul for an incredible £200million.
Macca and Mucca went to extraordinary lengths to avoid each other yesterday during the handing over of their daughter Beatrice, two. Heather and Paul, 64, arranged the tot swap with military precision so they wouldn’t see each other. Macca swept IN to his London home half an hour after Heather was driven OUT — with the pain of the split clearly etched on his face.
The previous night Heather had turned up at the smart address to find the locks had been changed. Police were called by Macca’s staff as her security guard tried to climb a fence. A source said: “Heather turned up unannounced. She had made no arrangement with Paul to spend the night at the house. She is always breaking the arrangements made for the handover of Beatrice. She seems to do it to create publicity.”
Heather later spent the night there with Beatrice but only after police had questioned her and a member of MaccaÂ’s staff grudgingly allowed her to get inside.
