Countess Spencer defends herself in a privacy case, accusing her ex-husband of having an affair and ending their marriage via text message.
Karen claimed Charles, 60, had been having an affair since 2022 — and more likely since 2021 — with Dr. Cat Jarman. The claims were part of Karen’s defense against Jarman’s explosive High Court privacy case, in which she accused Countess Spencer of misuse of private information. In the October filing, Jarman, 42, alleged that Karen, 52, shared personal details about her multiple sclerosis diagnosis — which she had kept hidden.
However, Karen now argues that she was “justified” to discuss information about Jarman given the archeologist’s relationship with her now-estranged husband. “Insofar as Lady Spencer shared the information in question with her immediate family, or close friends and associates, she did so in a way which was entirely justified and legitimate in the circumstances, as part of processing and coming to terms with her husband’s sudden and cruel request for a divorce,” Karen’s filing stated. “Alternatively, given these circumstances, had no reasonable expectation of Lady Spencer not discussing the information in question with the limited group of individuals with whom she shared it.” Elsewhere in the docs, Karen alleged that Charles “informed her that their marriage was over” on March 19, 2024 — and “did this by text message.” The Countess said Charles’ behavior “had been uncaring and deliberately provocative” leading up to their split but she still thought he would have the decency to discuss things in person. “The fact that he finally brought their marriage to an end by text, completely refusing to have any conversation with her in person or even provide an explanation at all, despite her repeated requests over the weeks that followed, was both cruel and inexplicable,” the docs read. Karen claimed she discovered Charles’ alleged affair with Cat after contacting her husband, Tom Jarman.
