The papers are licking their lips at the prospect of another mega divorce battle, recalling the fun from Paul McCartney’s and Heather Mills’ spat last year (the high point was when Heather poured a carafe of water over Macca’s formidable solicitor Fiona Shackleton, who actually looked quite fetching dampened down).
Shackleton has apparently been lined up by Madonna as she divorces film director husband Guy Ritchie so can we expect another divorce court joust?
Ritchie, as the less wealthy part of the duo, could presumably pursue some of Madge’s many millions in court.
But Guy is fond of his macho man persona, drinking, shooting and practicing judo (or some exotic variation thereof). And he’s hardly short of a few bob himself.
One of his ‘drinking partners’ is quoted in today’s Daily Mail to the effect that Guy won’t pursue her for a penny, settling for the Wiltshire estate and any dosh Madge decides she wants to hand over.
This seems the likeliest outcome although although it’s hard to underestimate the attraction of half of Madonna’s supposed £150m fortune.
It will also be interesting to see if Ritchie keeps up with all that Kaballah nonsense now that he’s no longer with Madonna.
We may see the return of ‘Guy the geezer’.
