heather millsHeather Mills has said she’s “at peace” with her life, six months after landing a £24.3million divorce settlement from Paul McCartney.

The former model told Hello magazine recently that she’s already spent a lot of the money: “A lot of it has already gone to charity, and I kept some to invest in projects and causes that will make this world a better place.

“It’s been a very, very difficult time, the hardest ever, but I now want the chance to focus on charity and continue my work with the causes I really care about.”

She recently donated more than $1million worth of vegan food to the Hunts Point neighbourhood in New York, where more than half the population live below the poverty line and she added that she hopes to be involved in more projects like that in the US in the future: “When I did Dancing with the Stars, [the US support] was just so amazing.

“I love England and I always will. But you know, it seems like I can really get a lot done in America on the causes I really care about.

“I’m in a really good place at the moment. I’m really at peace. I’ve spent a lot of time healing.”
