Count her out of this fight.<\/p>\n
Countess Spencer won\u2019t have to pay her husband\u2019s alleged mistress for leaking private details about her health.<\/p>\n
Archeologist\u00a0 Professor Catrine Jarman \u2014 the alleged mistress of Earl Spencer who now the earl\u2019s girlfriend \u2014 sued Spencer\u2019s wife in 2024, claiming that the countess had spilled that Jarman has MS.<\/p>\n
But new documents from London\u2019s High Court show that Jarman and the countess have settled the matter, but the court ordered the earl to cough up cash to cover the costs of litigating Jarman\u2019s claim against the countess including damages due to Jarman of about $6,000.<\/p>\n

Countess Spencer has previously alleged in court that Earl Spencer \u2014 the brother of Princess Diana and uncle to Princes William and Harry \u2014 struck up a relationship with Jarman in 2021 while they were doing an archeological\u00a0dig at his ancestral home Althorp House in Northamptonshire, England.<\/p>\n

After the alleged affair came to light, Jarmen, 43, claimed that Countess Karen Spencer, 53 \u2014 who married the earl in 2011 \u2014 told others, including the earl, that she suffered from multiple sclerosis without her consent.<\/p>\n
In legal papers released Monday, it appears that the court is sick and tired of the battle over the MS issue, and offered the countess the chance to accept a so-called \u201cPart 36,\u201d which would allow her to settle the suit without admitting wrongdoing.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis litigation needs to come to an end,\u201d an arbitrator in the case wrote in a judgement, \u201cand it is open to [the countess] to accept the Part 36 offer and bring it to an end. I expect her to do so, and if she does not, she will bear the costs of that decision.\u201d<\/p>\n
But the court added that the earl, 61, \u201cmust indemnify her for any sums required by her to satisfy the terms of the offer (including costs), and her own legal costs incurred in connection with the\u2026 proceedings.\u201d<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for the countess told Page Six: \u201cCountess Spencer considers her position to have been fully vindicated. There was no admission of liability or wrongdoing and Earl Spencer has been ordered to pay the legal costs\u2026 Countess Spencer sincerely hopes this will mark the end of the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n
Prof. Jarman released her own statement saying: \u201cAs someone living with Multiple Sclerosis, I have the unquestionable right to decide when and how to share such sensitive details. Pursuing the claim was a necessary and principled step to protect that right, as well as my career and livelihood. The matter has now been resolved after the other party chose to settle the claim, and I regard that outcome as a clear vindication of my decision to take action.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Earl Charles Spencer and Countess Karen Spencer married in 2011.
