Karen Spencer has announced her divorce from Earl Charles Spencer after 13 years of marriage. She shared the news in a statement on Instagram, expressing sadness but emphasizing their commitment to co-parenting their children and requesting privacy 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,” she wrote.
“I’m just processing at the moment. Will come back to you soon.”
Karen then added a slew of photos from the Althorp estate – the Spencer family home.
“Thought I’d share a few pics from last night’s summer solstice gathering,” she captioned the shots.
On 8 June, Charles revealed the breakup during an interview on Sunday.
“It is immensely sad,” he said. “I just want to devote myself to all my children, and to my grandchildren, and I wish Karen every happiness in the future.”
