The younger brother of the late Princess Diana, Earl Spencer, has chosen Fiona Shackleton to represent him in his recently announced divorce from his wife, Karen Spencer, according to The Times.
Shackleton is the same lawyer who represented the then-Prince Charles during his 1996 divorce from Princess Diana. The former Prince and Princess of Wales separated in 1992 after 11 years of marriage, with their divorce finalized the year before Diana's tragic death in a car crash in Paris at the age of 36.
Fiona Shackleton is renowned for handling high-profile cases. She also represented Prince Andrew in his 1996 divorce from Sarah Ferguson, Paul McCartney in his 2008 divorce from Heather Mills, and Princess Haya bint al-Hussein of Jordan in her split from Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Maktoum of Dubai.
Earl Spencer recently made headlines by joining his nephew, Prince Harry, in London to support him during the Invictus Games Service, even though no other members of the royal family attended.
Earl Spencer's decision to hire King Charles' divorce lawyer has left many people in shock, given the historical context and high-profile nature of the legal representation.
