The 9th Earl Spencer announced the news to The Mail on Sunday, expressing his dedication to his children and grandchildren, while also wishing Karen happiness in the future. The couple reportedly shared the news of their separation in April at the Althorp estate, where Princess Diana is buried. Together, they have one daughter named Charlotte Diana, honoring Charles's late sister. Charles has four children from his previous marriage and two from his second marriage, while Karen has two daughters from her previous marriage. The breakup coincided with Charles's writing of his memoir, A Very Private School, which delves into his difficult childhood. The split marks a difficult time for the Spencer family, carrying emotional weight as they navigate this challenging period.
