Countess Karen Spencer has revealed a personal update amid her divorce from Earl Spencer which has seen her move out of Althorp House.
Charles Spencer’s estranged wife, 52, took to Instagram to share a house move update as she admitted to it being a “challenging time”.
Alongside a photo of two sheep in a lush fountain-adorned garden, the Canadian philanthropist penned: “It hasn’t been easy finding a temporary rental that can accommodate seven horses, two sheep, four cats, and a dog – but with the help of some wonderful friends, we’ve finally found one.
“It’s been a challenging time, but also one filled with so much generosity and kindness. No exact move-in date yet, but we’re getting close,” she continued.
“Now, I’m excited to embark on the next chapter! Lucky and Minty, who featured in this week’s newsletter, moved to the new house earlier this week, ahead of the rest of us.
“They’ve settled in quickly and seem quite happy in their new space!,” she concluded.
Leaving Althorp
The update regarding the Countess’ new home comes just shortly after she was inundated with support following her departure from the Althorp Estate – the Spencer ancestral residence where Charles and his late sister Princess Diana grew up.
