Countess Karen Spencer Shares Future Plans amid Divorce from Earl Charles Spencer: 'Closing This Chapter Out'

The Countess Spencer said she is "currently still at Althorp" after their divorce was announced in June

Countess Karen Spencer is looking ahead amid her divorce from Earl Charles Spencer.

On Aug. 22, the Countess Spencer posted on Instagram for the second time this summer since the former couple's split was announced in June, sharing an update and information about a new website. The news came with a photo of two sheep standing before a gate at Althorp House, the Spencer family's ancestral estate in Northamptonshire, England where the 9th Earl Spencer and his older sister, Princess Diana, grew up.

Karen, 52, prefaced her post by mentioning that she looked forward to reconnecting with her social media community soon and said she intended to post "more regularly again" starting in September.

"I’m currently still at Althorp, and as we move into the fall, I look forward to closing this chapter out with you all and launching the next," she wrote. I will be sharing an update on my projects and reflecting on all the wonderful things I have learned during my time here on this beautiful Estate."

She added, "I’ll be sharing little peeks here with a deeper dive in my newsletter for those of you who enjoy more detail," directing those interested to her new website, KarenSpencer.org, which will launch in the fall.

"In this picture, one of my favourite projects, the gates to the walled kitchen garden, with Lucky and Minty posing," Karen elaborated about the photo shared. "I know many of you have been asking what we found when we did the excavation. You won’t believe it! Can’t wait to share. And for those of you who have been asking, don’t worry, Lucky and Minty will be coming with me."

In closing, she wrote "In the meantime, I hope you are all having a wonderful summer."

During her time at Althorp, the social entrepreneur and founder of Whole Child International highlighted the centuries of history there along with updates to the grounds and farming practices through a video series, Spencer 1508. The Countess Spencer, who is originally from Canada, documented the process of uncovering treasures big and small from the estate's 500-year history.

"Living here has just been one discovery after the next," she said in "Episode 1: Sharing Althorp" in October 2022. "Every day holds a new adventure, sometimes when I least expect it. Everywhere you turn, it's just one incredible thing after the next."

Karen and Charles married on June 18, 2011, and went on to welcome daughter Charlotte Diana, whose name pays tribute to Princess Diana, one of Charles' three older sisters.

On June 8, the Earl Spencer confirmed to The Mail on Sunday that he and his wife were divorcing after nearly 13 years of marriage.

"It is immensely sad," Charles, 60, said at the time. "I just want to devote myself to all my children and to my grandchildren, and I wish Karen every happiness in the future."

Both were previously married. Charles, a historian and author, has four children with his first wife, Victoria Lockwood, and two children with his second wife, Caroline Freud. Karen has two older daughters from her first marriage to Hollywood producer Mark Gordon.

The day after the divorce announcement, The Times reported that the Earl Spencer retained the same representation that was on the other side of his sister Diana's divorce from the future King Charles. The outlet said he hired Fiona Shackleton, the same attorney that the then-Prince Charles hired when he and Diana finalized their split in 1996.

In March, Charles revealed his traumatic childhood experiences at boarding school and therapy journey later in life for the first time in his memoir, A Very Private School.

Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE, the Earl Spencer reflected on what it meant to have Karen's support as he put pen to paper.

"Karen has been supportive," Charles told PEOPLE. "I think it was very challenging for her to have a husband going through what was essentially four-and-a-half years of the most profound therapy with very difficult undertones to it. And she supported the idea of me doing it."

He continued, "I think she always hoped I would come out happier and healthier. And that seems to be the case, very much. So I'm grateful to have her standing by me while I went through this, what I now realize was an essential process."
