For tips on divorce, you can bank on Lisa! Former model in bitter divorce with her Saudi billionaire ex parties with divorcee who got £15million after four-year battle

  • Former model Christina Estrada is divorcing Saudi billionaire Walid Juffali
  • Seeking a slice of his estimated £4billion fortune in a unique court battle
  • Estrada seen partying with Lisa Tchenguiz who won £15million in divorce

When you’re in the middle of a bitter divorce battle, who better to party with than a woman who won millions from her own ex-husband?

Former model Christina Estrada, who is seeking a big slice of Saudi billionaire Walid Juffali’s estimated £4 billion fortune, embraced Lisa Tchenguiz at the socialite’s 51st birthday party in Kensington on Saturday. Lisa, who wore a black lace dress and a tiara, fought a four-year battle with businessman Vivian Imerman before eventually settling for £15million.

Christina, who slipped into a £1,230 white Balmain mini-dress, is said to receive £70,000 a month from Juffali. He’s trying to use diplomatic immunity to avoid her claims.

Is War And Peace Greta on her own again?

In War And Peace, Greta Scacchi was thrilled that her screen daughter, played by Lily James, has found love with dashing James Norton, but her own personal life seems less happy.

Greta, 55, has a 17-year-old son with her first cousin, Carlo Mantegazza, but appears to have cast doubt on whether they are still a couple.

‘I wouldn’t mind a bit more romance in my life,’ the actress says. ‘But, if I’m honest, I probably get more excited about meeting up with an old girlfriend.’

The Eighties sex symbol, known for her steamy scenes in films such as White Mischief and Presumed Innocent, has a daughter with her ex-husband, the actor Vincent D’Onofrio.

Greta was thought to live with Carlo, but says: ‘At the moment, I’m distracting myself from having an empty house. My son’s gone to Australia to study, and my daughter is doing her first big film role in LA.

‘It’s funny, because I’ve moved from Sussex to a flat in South London where I was in my 20s — so it feels like I’m back into that bachelorette lifestyle I had before children.’

A suit at £1,722 - that's Emma being economic 

Harry Potter star Emma Watson cast a spell at the weekend over the World Economic Forum in Davos, where she declared that encouraging more women into work would be the ‘single biggest stimulus to the economy’.

Emma Watson wore an Antonio Berardi trouser suit costing around £1,722, coupled with a pair of £540 Paul Andrew slingback heels, a designer handbag from Lulu Guinness and £150 gold earrings

And if her outfit was anything to go by, the 25-year-old actress is doing her bit to stimulate the economy.

Before attending a dinner in the Swiss ski resort, she posed for a photo taken by her stylist, Sarah Slutsky.

Emma, who has a reputed fortune of more than £35 million, wore an Antonio Berardi trouser suit costing around £1,722. She coupled it with a pair of £540 Paul Andrew slingback heels, a designer handbag from Lulu Guinness and £150 gold earrings.

Not that any of this would interest the organisers, of course . . .

Tarnished by politicians handing out gongs to their cronies, the honours system nevertheless retains the faith of the Queen. 

The Lord Chamberlain’s Office is advertising for a manager to oversee knighthoods and other ceremonies, ‘upholding, and developing, some of the monarchy’s most treasured traditions’.

The successful candidate for the £40,000-a-year job will play their part ‘in making sure bravery, achievement and service are recognised’.

Actor Timothy West has spoken of the ‘gradual disappearance’ of his wife, the Fawlty Towers star Prunella Scales, as a result of Alzheimer’s disease.

But he’s determined to make sure she lives life to the full. I hear West, 81, is to take Prunella, 83, on another boating trip for their touching Channel 4 series, Great Canal Journeys, this time to the romantic destination of Venice. ‘Sailing down the Grand Canal is a very exciting prospect,’ West told friends. ‘We still enjoy life together.’
