Countess Karen Spencer has issued a new statement on her social media after her “challenging”move out of Althrop House.
It comes after her split with Earl Charles Spencer, the younger brother of Princess Diana, earlier this year, forcing her to find new residency.
Karen shared a photo of two sheep, Lucky and Minty, alongside a statement to her nearly 100,000 followers.
The caption read: “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.
She added: “It’s been a challenging time, but also one filled with so much generosity and kindness.”
Karen revealed that although there is “no exact move-in date yet” she is “getting close.”
The 52-year-old lived at Althrop House with her ex-husband for the last 14 years.
The former couple, who announced their divorce in June, restored the Althorp Estate by overseeing significant renovations.
She added: “I’m excited to embark on the next chapter!”
Referring to her two sheep, she added: “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!”

The brother of Princess Diana has since revealed he was in new a relationship with his podcast co-host Catrine Jarman, an archaeologist professor.
The couple met in 2021 when Prof Jarman led a search for the remains of an ancient Roman villa on the grounds of the Althorp Estate whilst filming a Channel 4 documentary.
Prince Harry, now living in California with his wife Meghan Markle and their two children, has remained in close contact with Earl Charles Spencer.
