Her wealthy family has been embroiled in a bitter 30-year feud, but the beautiful daughter of property baron Lord Palumbo is not letting their financial squabbles get in the way of her blossoming modelling career.
Petra, blessed with the blonde hair and wide blue eyes of a Disney princess, is fast becoming known for her smouldering looks and signature style.
The 25-year-old has been in demand since signing up with a top modelling agency and features in the latest edition of Tatler magazine.

But the graduate of the London College of Fashion also has an unusual day job – working in her mother’s needlework shop, Tapisserie, which specialises in tapestry slippers and cushions.
