Earl Spencer has married Canadian philanthropist Karen Gordon in a private civil ceremony this Saturday past. It was held within the grounds of Althorp, where his sister Diana is buried.
The Earl announced the engagement to his new wife earlier this year. Following the marriage, she will now be known as Countess Spencer.
Rather than a lavish affair, the ceremony was attended by a small group of close friends and family that included Prince Charles. His nephews Prince William and Prince Harry were unable to attend however.
Ms Gordon, 38, wore a white fitted lace dress with a sweetheart neckline and lace sleeves. She is a former model and mother-of-two who was previously married to Mark Gordon, the wealthy film producer made famous for such shows as the movie Saving Private Ryan and the TV series Grey’s Anatomy.
Only one official shot was released from the private wedding – it shows the couple posing at the Spencer family home, with the bride holding a bouquet of cream and white flowers.
