Mystery of golden girl Cara’s ‘unexpected’ bank action

SHE has seemingly had the world at her feet ever since her runway debut in London Fashion Week as a willowy 18-year-old — the prelude to a dazzling career as supermodel and budding actress during which Cara Delevingne, now 30, has seen her earnings spiral to £30,000 a day.

But I can reveal that some of those with the most detailed knowledge of her commercial activities have taken unexpected action to protect their interests, lest her business, Cara & Co, should suffer a sudden reversal of fortune.

Her bankers, HSBC, registered a charge against the company in April this year — despite the fact that it has assets of £41.4 million.

‘It’s unexpected for a company with that much money in it to have charges of this kind against it,’ my financial mole tells me.

‘It’s very unlikely to go bust, but if you have a secured charge you become the first one in the queue to be repaid what you’re owed.’

Last week, the property developer’s daughter was seen sitting alone in a parked car in Los Angeles, where she took drops of liquid from a pipette and smoked from what appeared to be a pipe. Her legs appeared to be bruised.

Cara was still more dishevelled this week after attending the Burning Man Festival in Nevada. She arrived at an airport looking jittery. Cara’s spokesman did not respond to a request for comment.
