McCartney couple's charity destiny
Published Sunday, Jan 29 2006, 19:16 GMT | By Dave West
Heather Mills McCartney has said she was destined to meet Paul so they could campaign as a team.
The anti-landmine and animal rights campaigner said when she first met the former Beatle she hated being in the celebrity spotlight. She confessed: "It was like, I love this man but I want out of this life completely."
She soon realised, however, that Paul's star-status gave her new campaigning opportunities. "But then doors started opening. President Vladimir Putin wanted to have a meeting about landmines. President Putin!" explained Heather. "And I knew suddenly that was the reason Paul and I had met.
"Obviously we were in love and there was our daughter and everything, but I knew that was the reason. Paul can open these doors, but he won't have time to do the work. He needs me because I do the work."
