The following article includes allegations of physical and sexual assault.

The British royal family is no stranger to divorce.

A little over a year after that, Diana died in a car crash.

Diana is survived by three siblings.

Her brother, Earl Charles Spencer, has been married three times and has seven children across the relationships.

He announced a divorce from his third wife Karen Gordon in June 2024.

The couple married in 2011 and had a daughter the year after.

Regarding their divorce, Spencer told theDaily Mail’s The Mail on Sunday, “It is immensely sad.

What did Diana lose thanks to Shackleton’s negotiating?

Fiona Shackleton has been referred to as the “Steel Magnolia” according toThe Sunday Times.

She didn’t hold back in King Charles III and Princess Diana’s divorce proceedings.

The title loss also meant that Diana no longer had royal security.

Then-Prince Charles used Shackleton as a lawyer until 2005.

However, it seems like Spencer’s divorce from Karen Gordon is less contentious than Diana’s.

However, Spencer has said Gordon was a rock for him.

In aPeopleinterview, Spencer said, “Karen has been supportive.

And she supported the idea of me doing it.”

Despite Gordon’s support, something still caused their relationship to fracture.

With Fiona Shackleton on his side, Spencer will likely walk away from the divorce pleased with the settlement.

If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available.
