McCartney and Mills arrived separately at London’s Royal Courts of Justice. Bodyguards shielded Mills from view with a dark blanket as she made her way into the neo-Gothic courthouse.
A Mills aide later carried a wheelchair from the back of a car for the former model, who lost a leg in a motorcycle accident in 1993. McCartney arrived minutes later. News reports say the immediate issue is likely to be the size of Mills’ divorce settlement from the wealthy former Beatle. Press speculation has recently put the size of the settlement between $40 million and $100 million.
McCartney and Mills, who have a 3-year-old daughter, announced last year that they were splitting up after four years of marriage.
