Catrine Jarman, the girlfriend of Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer, has taken legal action against his estranged wife, Karen Spencer. Reports indicate that Jarman filed a lawsuit on October 10, citing a breach of private information. Specific details surrounding the complaint remain undisclosed.
The news emerged following the revelation that Charles Spencer, the 9th Earl Spencer, is in the midst of a divorce from Karen after 13 years of marriage. In June, he expressed his sadness over the separation, stating, “It is immensely sad.” Both Charles and Karen share a daughter, 12-year-old Charlotte Diana, who carries the name of her late aunt.
This lawsuit comes as tensions have presumably risen within the Spencer family since Charles’ decision to part ways with Karen. After their marriage in June 2011, held at the Althorp estate—Diana’s final resting place—Charles announced the split earlier this year.
In the wake of the announcement, Charles has reportedly engaged Fiona Shackleton as his legal representative, the same high-profile attorney who assisted King Charles III during his divorce from Diana. Recently, Charles revealed to the media that he and Jarman are “close,” which raises questions about the timeline of their relationship following his separation.
The couple met while Jarman was filming a documentary and has since co-hosted a podcast together, shedding light on their growing bond. Meanwhile, the legal battle continues as both Jarman’s legal team and representatives for Charles and Karen have yet to provide further comments regarding the lawsuit.
As these family dynamics unfold, the public watches closely, captivated by the ongoing saga linked to the Spencer family and their complex relationships.
