Childhood And Education
Heather Anne Mills McCartney (Pinterest)Heather Anne Mills McCartney’s parents, Beatrice Mary Mills, who was born in India during World War II, and her father John “Mark” Francis Mills, who was a paratrooper, photographer, and car mechanic, met while they were both students at Newcastle University, raised her there along with her older brother Shane and younger sister Fiona.
Beatrice’s father didn’t attend the wedding because he didn’t approve of her relationship with John. He only had one final encounter with Beatrice before he passed away.
The family also had a goat that was allowed unrestricted access to the house, in addition to Heather’s pet dogs, cats, and a goose. Before attending Usworth Comprehensive School, she attended Usworth Grande Primary School, both of which were in Washington, County Durham. After Margaret Ambler sued Heather for violating her privacy by claiming that she and Heather were abducted and sexually assaulted by a pool attendant when Heather was eight years old, Heather was ordered to pay Margaret’s legal fees, which totaled £54,000.
Both Heather and her sister Fiona have asserted that their father was abusive toward them after she left him for the well-known British actor Charles Henry Stapley. According to the girls, John forced the girls to shoplift because he lacked the funds to provide them with food and clothing. He also allegedly once threw the girls’ brother out of a window, causing him to require hospitalization.
Career Of Heather
After her father was given an 18-month prison term, Heather and Fiona moved in with their mother and her new partner in Clapham, London. In her book, Heather claimed she worked at Penrose Jewellers, but Jim Guy, the store’s owner, claimed that everything she wrote about him was false: “Everything she wrote about me was lies, I never offered her a job; she just waited around and made tea.

She said her father had passed away. She stole items from the shop, and that was the only true thing.
In 1986, Heather met Alfie Karmal, a man ten years her senior, who bought her clothes, jewelry, and breast augmentations. They dated for two years before Heather moved to Paris and pretended to have a modeling contract while in reality, she was “working” as the mistress of George Kazan, a millionaire from Lebanon. She served as his mistress for two years and modeled for the German sex education book “The Joys of Love” (“Die Freuden der Liebe”) during that period.
After losing the lower half of her left leg, Heather used a ghostwriter, Pamela Cockerill, to help her write her autobiography, “Out on a Limb,” which was published in the US in 2002 under the title “A Single Step.” All proceeds from the book’s sales were given to the organization Adopt-A-Minefield, which helped remove landmines all over the world. In recognition of her charitable work, Heather received an honorary doctorate from the Open University in 2003. She quickly rose through the ranks to become vice president of the Limbless Association, and in 2004 she was honored with the University of California, Irvine’s Human Security Award. In 2006, Heather published “Life Balance: The Essential Keys to a Lifetime of Wellbeing,” her second book.
Relationship Status
After returning from Paris, Heather asked Karmal to marry her. He agreed, but only under the condition that she visits a psychiatrist. Heather did so twice a week for two months, and on May 6, 1989, they were married in a small ceremony in front of their closest friends and family. Karmal advised that Heather travels to Croatia with his ex-wife when she had two ectopic pregnancies the following year. However, Heather started dating Slovenian ski instructor Milos Pogacar, and they soon moved in together in Croatia. Shortly after, the Croatian War broke out, and Heather and Milos helped Croatians flee the conflict by running a refugee crisis center in England. Heather and Karmal divorced in 1991, and by 1993, Heather was engaged to Raffaele Mincione, a bond dealer who was employed by the Industrial Bank of Japan.
After only 16 days of dating Marcus Stapleton, Heather got engaged to him in 1995. The following year, she got engaged to Chris Terrill but broke off the engagement five days before the wedding by revealing to her friends that Chris Terrill was an MI6 agent and that he was gay.
At the Dorchester Hotel in April 1999, Heather first met Paul McCartney, and they soon began dating. Paul proposed to Heather on July 23, 2001, and they were married on June 11, 2002, or about four years after Paul’s wife Linda lost her battle with illness. Beatrice Milly McCartney was born to Heather and Paul on October 28, 2003. On May 17, 2006, Heather and Paul got divorced, and Heather was given £24.3 million as a settlement (she had requested £125 million). She was also given £35,000 a year in child support.
Health Issues And Artificial Legs
Heather was struck by a police motorcycle on August 8, 1993, suffering from broken ribs, pierced lungs, and a loss of 6 inches (0.15 m) of her left leg below the knee. She underwent surgery in October 1993, further shortening her leg, and was forced to wear a prosthetic. The money Heather received from the police, along with the roughly £180,000 she earned from selling her tale to journalists, was used to start the Heather Mills Health Trust, which assisted persons who had lost limbs to landmines in purchasing prosthetic arms and legs. Ivica Racan, the prime minister of Croatia, gave Heather a medal in 2001 for her assistance in ridding the country of landmines. It is estimated that Heather has assisted over 22,000 people in obtaining prosthetic limbs.
Activities And Other Passions
Heather is a fierce advocate for animal rights and serves as the face of the British group Viva! She once accompanied Paul to Canada in an attempt to put an end to that nation’s seal hunt, but they had little luck. She is a vegetarian who launched her restaurant on July 4, 2009, called VBites (Vegan Bites). She later sold it so she could open a larger VBites restaurant in May 2013, however, that one closed in September 2017.
She enjoys dancing a lot, and in 2007 she and American professional ballroom dancer Jonathan Roberts competed in “Dancing with the Stars.” In January 2010, she also participated in “Dancing on Ice,” dancing with Matt Evers.

Who is Paul McCartney?
James Paul McCartney, a Gemini by birth and a British citizen, was born on June 18, 1942, in Liverpool, England. He was a founding member, co-lead vocalist, and bassist for the British rock band The Beatles, for which he is still most well-known.
Father Fames McCartney, a World War II firefighter, and mother Mary Patricia, a nurse who passed away when Paul was 14 years old, raised James and his younger brother Michael.
Paul attended Stockton Wood Road Primary School before transferring to Joseph Williams Junior School. He was one of three lads who passed the 11-Plus exam and enrolled in the esteemed Liverpool Institute in 1953.
Paul joined John Lennon’s band The Quarrymen when he was 15 years old. In August 1960, they changed the band’s name to The Beatles. When the band broke up in 1970, Paul experienced despair but soon recovered when he and his pals started the rock group Wings in 1971. Since Wings broke up in 1981, Paul has continued to focus on his solo career.
Paul has acted in several documentaries, including “The Day the Music Died” (1977), “The Concert for Kampuchea” (1980), and “All Together Now” (2008).
Paul has also guest starred in episodes of the late-night comedy sketch show “Saturday Night Live,” including the one titled “Alec Baldwin/Christina Aguilera,” and has made appearances in several actions and drama films, including “The Cooler” in 1982, the animated short film “Rupert and the Frog Song” in 1985, and the 10-minute 3D film “Al’s Brain” in 2009.
Since the beginning of his singing career, Paul has used drugs. After being introduced to marijuana by American musician and songwriter Bob Dylan, he started smoking it in 1964. Paul was later offered heroin, but he turned it down and began taking cocaine instead. He stopped using cocaine after a year since the drug’s effects left him feeling miserable. He began using LSD in 1966 and later said that it had improved him; he then began meditating and practicing yoga.
Paul and Nancy Shevell were together for 20 years before their marriage on October 9, 2011, when they exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony with about 30 guests.
