Petra Ecclestone arrives for High Court divorce hearing

Petra Ecclestone arrived at the High Court today for the latest stage of her divorce hearing with billionaire ex-husband James Stunt.

The 29-year-old Formula One heiress looked elegant as she kept her head down while going into the building in Holborn, London, where she is fighting Mr Stunt, 36, over their joint £5.5 billion fortune.

Mr Stunt divorced Ms Ecclestone following a bitter court battle in October but they have yet to agree a settlement over their joint fortune.

Bernie Ecclestone’s daughter took out a court injunction to force her ex to leave their £68million Grade II-listed mansion in Chelsea.

The pair, who have three children, married in a £12million ceremony in 2011.

Petra is being represented at the hearing by Baroness Fiona Shackleton who previously acted on behalf of Sir Paul McCartney during his divorce with Heather Mills.

This comes amid her billionaire ex-husband James reacting angrily to cynical claims that a £90million burglary at his home was a con.

He had previously claimed that he was the victim of Britain’s biggest ever burglary with £90million of cash and valuables said to have been stolen from his house in Belgravia, which he moved into after the pair split.

On Monday, Mr Stunt slammed critics who have accused the burglary of being a fake.

He said: ‘I’ve nothing to hide. I’m a victim with no upside to this embarrassment of having no insurance.

‘It’s disgusting how people are commenting that I’m a criminal. It’s not true or fair. I just want whoever did this arrested and my things back.’

He went on to say that his dead brother’s watch was among the items that were stolen and said he ‘wished he had insurance’ in a strong condemnation of the claims that the robbery was a con.

He told police that thieves had emptied the safe in the basement of his Georgian townhouse in Belgravia last month while he slept upstairs.

Cash, gold and diamond jewellery worth up to £90million was stolen in the raid, according to The Sun on Sunday.

The billionaire, who left his house flanked by several members of his security detail on Monday, said his property was not insured and updates on the investigation would come from the Metropolitan Police Flying Squad, which is leading the probe.

Asked what the latest update was on the investigation, he said: ‘You will have to talk to the Flying Squad. I have no insurance. I’m a victim.’

He then climbed into the back seat of his luxury custom Rolls Royce before being driven away from the Belgravia townhouse. 

Among the items taken from Mr Stunt's home was a number of diamonds, pink, yellow, white and blue ones

The missing items are said to include Audemars Piguet watches worth up to £500,000 each

But the businessman still felt able to enjoy himself on Saturday night as he went out in Mayfair surrounded by bodyguards.
