In many ways, the nameCharles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, is tied to tragedy.
The earl stated, “You know, I write history.
Undoubtedly, maintaining an architectural jewel such as Althorp House is no easy task.
“If I’m honest, I initially sort of rejected the full-time nature of this role.
I will confess that it has sucked me in,” she said.
Every day holds a new adventure, sometimes when I least expect it.
Everywhere you turn, it’s just one incredible thing after the next.”

Our daughter, Charlotte, got the idea that we could possibly have two of our own.
As Karen would later recall, “They slept in the playroom in a crate.
And, you could hear them all over the house clack, clack … running after us.”
However, the truth is that the aristocrat cares tremendously for some of his most historical belongings.
As such, he owns an extensive porcelain collection that dates back hundreds of years.
Some of the most meaningful pieces have been in the family since Althorp House was first founded.
Of course, using historically significant items is not always an easy task.
Over the course of the last few centuries, several important pieces have chipped or even shattered.
Consequently, Charles has been known to hire experts to put his porcelain back together.
The final results tend to be stunning.

As noted inMaclean’s, due to the group’s reputation for wild partying, the earl politely declined.
During his formative university years, the earl was said to have been chummy with Johnson.
Even so, they were believed to have gotten on well.
The two men were close enough that they even traveled through Europe together.
These days, Charles and Johnson are still believed to be good friends.
In 2017, the future prime minister was photographed at one of the earl’s book launches.
Throughout the evening, he and Charles were spotted laughing and smiling.
Of course, it is worth noting that Charles has been quite successful in his endeavors.
