Charles Spencer, the brother of the late Princess Diana, has announced his divorce from his third wife, Karen Gordon, after 13 years of marriage.
Spencer expressed sadness over the breakup and wished Karen happiness in the future. This will be his third divorce. He has hired Baroness Shackleton of Belgravia, known for handling high-profile divorces, including Prince Charles and Princess Diana's, to represent him.
The split was announced to the staff at the Althorp estate where Princess Diana is buried. The couple married in 2011 at Althorp, England, and had a daughter in 2012 named Lady Charlotte Diana Spencer, a tribute to the Earl's late sister.
Spencer's marriage started to deteriorate while he was writing a memoir about his sexual abuse by a female nurse at a boarding school. Spencer praised Gordon for her support during his therapy process, but the relationship ultimately ended.
He has grown close to Norwegian archaeologist Dr. Cat Jarman, and they appear happy together. He has a 12-year-old daughter named Charlotte Diana with Karen, and six other children from his previous marriages.
He maintains contact with his nephew Harry, son of Lady Di.
