It's no secret that Charles Spencer, 9th Earl Spencer, comes from an aristocratic background — and he has the house to prove it. Indeed, the proud descendant of King Charles II resides in the impressive Althorp House, a 13,000-acre estate dotted with 28 magnificent constructions. Naturally, Charles and his wife, Karen Spencer, Countess Spencer, live in the most jaw-dropping building of all, an elegant 100,000 square-foot house that boasts a whopping 31 bedrooms. There, the couple enjoys a stunning grand hall, a comfortable library, and a gorgeous picture gallery covered in Tudor wood paneling.

Undoubtedly, maintaining an architectural jewel such as Althorp House is no easy task. As Karen divulged in a video shared on her Instagram, she did not originally think that taking care of the property would be a lot of work. "If I'm honest, I initially sort of rejected the full-time nature of this role. I thought that this whole house was lovely, but that wasn't going to take up very much of my time. I will confess that it has sucked me in," she said. Despite this surprise, Karen went on to express just how much she had fallen in love with the property, stating, "Living here has just been one discovery after the next. Every day holds a new adventure, sometimes when I least expect it. Everywhere you turn, it's just one incredible thing after the next."
