Millionaire Cara Delevingne and her family are claiming cash from the Covid system for their property.
The 28-year-old model is a director of the family’s company, Harvey White Properties Ltd, with her father Charles (71) and two sisters Poppy (34) and Chloe (35).
According to The Sun, the business, which has an impressive real estate portfolio worth £ 45.5 million, was created to halve rents during the pandemic.

Cara’s father Charles confirmed to the publication that he was claiming from the scheme. It is not known how many staff members were examined, but the company presumably employs five people.
A source close to Delevingne said: ‘Just because Cara has a lot of money does not mean the company has it. ‘
Another added: “It has been a difficult year for everyone and landlords have obviously been hit hard, but it is surprising that people known as very wealthy people seem to be claiming taxpayers.
They added that there was’ no suggestion of transgression ‘at all and said that it’just not necessarily what the public would expect. ‘
MailOnline contacted Cara and Charles’ representatives for comment.

Any eligible business can claim from the taxpayer money scheme to pay the wages of the staff while the pandemic and national lockdown continue.
The Delevingnes’ Harvey White Properties Ltd, was featured in a list published in January of thousands of companies using the scheme.
It is estimated that Cara is worth around £ 30 million and earned an impressive £ 15.7 million last year, making her the highest paid model in Britain.
Native London Cara also deserves a lot of thanks for modeling for some of the biggest brands and cosmetics in the industry, including Burberry, DKNY, Jimmy Choo and Rimmel.
In 2019, Cara, who is also a director of her father’s £ 45 million real estate business, admitted that money is not everything to her.
She said: ‘I had a very privileged upbringing if I could travel and grow up in London, which was incredible for me.
“He had a wonderful family and my father … he did not grow up with a lot of money and he is extremely ambitious and driven to look after his family and all of us. I realized that money is not everything. ‘
The further news comes after it was reported that Cara and her model sister Poppy put their house in the Hollywood Hills on the market for $ 3.75 million, four years after they bought it for $ 2.5 million.

The couple, who hail from the British aristocracy, jointly bought the two-storey house on the US west coast in 2017, but now want to make a substantial profit by offering it for sale.
The house was previously owned by Oscar-winning actor Jared Leto and measures a substantial 4,021 square feet and offers space, seclusion and privacy with the main reason in a ‘quiet’ Hollywood street.
Cara and Poppy worked with architect Nicolò Bini for 18 months to redesign the house to their exact specifications, while the interior displays a series of light-hearted and extremely distinctive blossoms.
According to the Observer, in 1950 Poppy and Cara bought the style four-bed, three-bath house from actor Jared Leto for $ 2.05 million.
