Beatrice Milly McCartney – born October 28, 2003 with Heather Mills
Beatrice is just a little girl.
NICE work! I personally feel since Paul adopted Heather Louise, Linda’s daughter from previous marriage, she is by all right, a Beatle daughter. Afterall, she has been a McCartney almost all her life but the first six years.
I have to say though… There is a likelihood Paul will have more children, since he is soon to be married again to Nancy Sevall. Although her age may preclude another Beatles-slash-McCartney child.
