Mrs Bertarelli was represented in court by Fiona (Fiona) Shackleton. This lawyer is also known as Steel Magnolia, who represented Prince Charles of England and Sir Paul McCartney when they were divorcing. Before marrying Bertarelli of Italian descent in 2000, she is said to have entered into a prenuptial arrangement.
A friend of hers told Mail that the settlement was generous beyond what it needed to be. The couple didn’t desire a prolonged, lengthy court case in Switzerland. He also wanted to acknowledge the marriage’s length.
