Earl Spencer’s Partner Sues Estranged Wife Over MS Leak

News summary

A high-profile legal battle between Earl Spencer's estranged wife, Countess Karen Spencer, and his new girlfriend, Dr. Cat Jarman, a Norwegian archaeologist, is expected to cost over £2 million in legal fees. Dr. Jarman is suing Countess Spencer for allegedly disclosing her private multiple sclerosis (MS) diagnosis to others, which Jarman claims forced her to go public to counter speculation. The High Court heard that legal costs for Jarman and Spencer are £1,217,880 and £1,000,087, respectively, with the judge finding these amounts reasonable given the case's complexity. Countess Spencer denies wrongdoing, arguing Jarman's public disclosure undermines her privacy claim and that any mention of the diagnosis was justified. The case underscores the financial and personal toll of privacy disputes involving public figures. The court has not disclosed how much Jarman is seeking in damages.
