The case is the latest twist in a paternity battle over Bettina Krischbin, who is now 46, that has rumbled on for decades.Miss Krischbin, who has two children of her own, lives in Berlin but says she was conceived in Hamburg in the early 1960s, before the Beatles rose to world fame.She claims that Sir Paul sent a double to carry out a paternity test 20 years ago, which appeared to prove that he was not her father."The signature on the documents he signed at the time was false," she said. "We found the signature is from a right-handed person and he is not."I want a new paternity test," she added. "It is my right."But he [Paul] has always denied being the girl's father. After the 1983 paternity test, he said: "It seems the girl's blood contains something that is not in mine or the mother's, so it must have come from the real father."
1. Paul McCartney apparently had an illegitimate child. In their younger years The Beatles played and toured around England to throngs of adoring fans. Like any group of 20-something boys they made quick work of their female fans and none more so than Paul. After they became famous a woman came forward claiming to have mothered a child with McCartney. The issue was settled with a cash payment to keep the woman quiet. Paternity tests later proved McCartney to not be the father but there is still speculation that he may have fathered a number of other children over the years.
