Diana, Princess of Wales' Brother is Earl Spencer. - King Charles' attorney for divorce cases
Princess Diana's (1961-1997) brother, Charles Spencer (60), has reportedly hired the same lawyer for his divorce from his third wife, Karen (52), who represented King Charles III (75) during his divorce from Lady Di.
This Prominent Lawyer Has a Reputation
After their split of 13 years was announced on Sunday, "The Times" reported that Diana's sister Fiona Shackleton, Baroness Shackleton of Belgravia (68), was hired. This renowned divorce attorney is known for her no-nonsense approach. She has been a part of high-profile divorces in Britain, such as Charles, the former Prince of Wales, who separated from Diana in 1996. Another notable client of hers was Paul McCartney (81), whose ex-wife, Heather Mills (56), was said to have poured a pitcher of water over Shackleton in anger.
