Karen Spencer makes big life announcement nearly a year after shock split from Earl Charles Spencer
Countess Karen Spencer has shared a fresh update after moving into a new home following her split from Earl Charles Spencer.
Taking to Instagram on Thursday, the 52-year-old uploaded a pastoral view from her new property and spoke about embracing a “new chapter”.
Addressing her followers, she wrote: “Well… At long last, three weeks ago, we finally moved into our temporary new home. Still waiting for the horses to arrive – hopefully next week! Doesn’t quite feel like home without them.”
She went on to say: “This new chapter is already taking shape.” In her lengthy post, Karen also spoke about her commitment to supporting the work of changemakers, revealing how she hosted Social Innovation House at Davos.

Lots and lots of boxes everywhere! I’m looking forward to sharing more of my new home life, once things start coming together!” she added.
“The photo is the view out onto the garden and paddocks where there will hopefully be horses joining Lucky and Minty soon.”
Her followers were quick to share their thoughts in the comments section, with one writing: “Beautiful view… looks so tranquil, just perfect for a fresh chapter,” while a second noted: “Happy for you,” and a third chimed in: “I’m supporting you on your new journey! It takes time to get used to a new environment, but with the support of people you love you can!”

“I just want to devote myself to all my children, and to my grandchildren, and I wish Karen every happiness in the future,” the author and podcast host said at the time.
The former couple wed in 2011 and share one daughter together – Lady Charlotte – who was born in 2012. Charles is also a father to six children from previous relationships, and Karen is a mother to two.

Confirming his new romance, Charles spoke to The Mail on Sunday, and said: “I’m too old for hearts and flowers stuff, but the best way to describe it is that with Cat, I can be myself. She knows who I am. Who I really am. I don’t have to pretend to be something I am not. And she brings out the best in me.”
