While in cruise at FL450 we had an amber CAS message indicating 'WSHLD HEAT INOP R.' We performed the appropriate abnormal procedure and within a minute or two of the CAS message we had the right forward window shatter. We performed the 'Cockpit Forward or Side Windshield Cracked or Shattered' abnormal procedure and elected to exercise our Emergency Authority and divert into [a nearby suitable airport]. We elected to have emergency personnel standing by and evaluate our passenger after shutdown. The medical personnel made the determination that passengers did not require any medical attention.
A corporate jet Captain reported that the right forward cockpit window shattered. An emergency was declared and the flight diverted to a nearby airport.
