McCartney’s wife hires Diana’s solicitor for divorce

HEATHER Mills-McCartney raised the stakes in her divorce from Paul McCartney yesterday by hiring the solicitor of Diana, Princess of Wales.

The solicitor will face Fiona Shackleton, of Payne Hicks Beach, who represented the Prince of Wales in the Royal divorce 10 years ago.
