The former spouses had been back and forth to court this year as they geared up for a bitter fight over their estimated £5.5billion fortune.

But when their heavyweight legal teams came before a judge it emerged the warring pair agreed what will be one of Britain's biggest ever divorce settlements.

Now a single mother, Petra recently spoke out about how growing up with money has affected her life.

'I think people want to be able to hate me. I think that because my father is wealthy and now I am living off his money, they hate it,' Petra told The Telegraph in July.

The socialite has been able to rely on her loved ones throughout her divorce ordeal, with her sister Tamara, 33, recently gushing over the way her younger sibling has handled her difficult year.

Speaking to MailOnline about also how much Petra's divorce had rocked their family, she insisted that her 'inspirational' sister has behaved like a 'lady' throughout.

She enthused: 'We are so close, I feel like if something bad is happening to someone your so close to, it literally feels like it’s happening to you.

'But she’s behaved like such a lady. She’s been strong and an inspiration. She’s come out the other side and she’s strong.'
