Charles Spencer’s girlfriend has filed legal action against his former wife, Countess Karen Spencer. She accuses the Countess of exploiting confidential information. Charles Spencer’s girlfriend, Dr. Cat Jarman, has revealed that she has multiple sclerosis.
She made the announcement publicly to respond to speculation about her legal action against Charles Spencer’s estranged wife, Countess Karen Spencer.
Jarman claims in a high court case that the Countess revealed her diagnosis without consent. She also stated that it is important to her complaint against the unlawful dissemination of private information.
Jarman, 48, spoke for the first time about her MS diagnosis in an interview with the Daily Mail on December 4 and explained why she opted to go public now. According to the Norwegian archaeologist, Karen Spencer told Charles and others about her situation. This spurred her to sue the Countess for violating her privacy.
Jarman said that she was diagnosed with MS in 2016 while completing her PhD and described the news as “utterly devastating.” Notably, MS is a long-term neurological and autoimmune illness in which the immune system mistakenly targets healthy cells.

According to the National Institute of Health, this has a variety of consequences for individuals. Jarman further stated that the Countess revealed her MS diagnosis to “a number of people,” aggravating her misery.
According to Jarman’s court records, these persons included Althorp workers, Spencer family estate employees, and the Countess’ personal trainer. The court documents also state that Jarman believes the Countess told teachers at her daughter’s private school and at least one of Jarman’s colleagues about her condition.
