Earl Spencer, brother of the late Princess Diana, has announced he is divorcing his third wife, Canadian Karen Gordon. To help with the spilt, he has hired the same divorce lawyer as King Charles used when divorcing Diana in 1996: Fiona Shackleton, or Baroness Shackleton of Belgravia.
Once described as “the only celebrity lawyer” in the UK, Baroness Shackleton, 68, is a fearsome opponent, known for winning good deals for her clients. Charging at least £550 per hour, she has the nickname “steel magnolia” for her mixture of toughness and charm. She was famously soaked with water in court by Paul McCartney’s ex-wife Heather Mills during the couple's divorce in 2008.
