Heather Mills has made headlines again this week as her divorce from Sir Paul McCartney finally settled in court, resulting in a $52.3 million pay-out to the former model.
Since her marriage to Sir Paul in 2002, Heather has featured regularly in both the British and international media for her troubled relationship with the former Beatle and also for her work as an activist. Heather has been relentless in her support for causes such as animal rights, the curtailment of landmines and aid for amputees. She has also campaigned for vegetarianism and against trade in fur which resulted in her appearing in an anti-fur advertisement for a PETA campaign.
Despite this activist work, Heather remains a controversial public figure and has received heavy criticism from the British tabloids over the past few years. Of particular media interest is Heather’s speculated strained relationships with stepdaughters Heather, Mary and Stella throughout her four year marriage to Sir Paul.
Heather gave birth to the couple’s only child in 2003, Beatrice Milly, and this year celebrated her 40th birthday.
