Princess Diana’s brother, Charles Spencer, and his wife of 13 years announced their divorce in June 2024.
Karen Spencer, the estranged wife of Charles Spencer, has finally spoken out following the news of their separation. On Friday, the 52-year-old took to Instagram to express her gratitude for the support she has received during this difficult time.
“Just wanted to say that I have been overwhelmed by the messages of love and support. Thank you, it has really meant a lot to me,” Karen wrote. “I’m just processing at the moment. Will come back to you soon.”
She continued, “Thought I’d share a few pics from last night’s summer solstice gathering,” posting a series of photos from the Althorp estate, the Spencer family home where Princess Diana, who died in 1997, is buried.
On June 8, Earl Charles Spencer, 60, discussed the breakup during an interview with The Mail on Sunday.
“It is immensely sad,” Charles said. “I just want to devote myself to all my children, and to my grandchildren, and I wish Karen every happiness in the future.”
Charles and Karen were married for 13 years and share a 12-year-old daughter, Charlotte Diana, whose middle name honors the late Princess of Wales.
