Princess Diana's brother breaks silence amid latest allegations

Princess Diana’s brother Charles Spencer has broken his silence after High Court papers revealed he allegedly kept a "long-term mistress" before ending his marriage by text message.

According to a report by the GB News, the allegations form part of Karen Spencer's defence to a privacy case brought against her by Dr Cat Jarman, an archaeologist who had been working at Althorp estate.

Prince William and Harry’s uncle has strongly denied the claims, calling them "an absurd attempt to blacken my name".

Charles Spencer insists his wife Karen ended the marriage "after endless threats to do so over the years" and that he merely confirmed it by text in March.

Karen claims her husband had been having an affair with Dr Jarman since at least late 2022, "and more likely since 2021", while the archaeologist was conducting excavations at Althorp.

Following these allegations, Charles Spencer took to social media and shared a throwback photo, saying “Estate workmen tending the front courtyard at Althorp, in 1861.

“A historic image to bow out with, for 2024.”

He further said, “Wishing you all a very Happy New Year.”
