Her followers were quick to share their thoughts in the comments section, with one writing: "Beautiful view… looks so tranquil, just perfect for a fresh chapter," while a second noted: "Happy for you," and a third chimed in: "I'm supporting you on your new journey! It takes time to get used to a new environment, but with the support of people you love you can!"
Karen recently moved out of Althorp House where she lived with Charles Spencer, Princess Diana's brother. Charles shared news of their plans to divorce back in June last year via the Mail on Sunday.
"I just want to devote myself to all my children, and to my grandchildren, and I wish Karen every happiness in the future," the author and podcast host said at the time.
The former couple wed in 2011 and share one daughter together - Lady Charlotte - who was born in 2012. Charles is also a father to six children from previous relationships, and Karen is a mother to two.
Charles has since gone public with his new girlfriend Professor Cat Jarman whom he first met when she came to Althorp for an archaeological investigation.
Confirming his new romance, Charles spoke to The Mail on Sunday, and said: "I'm too old for hearts and flowers stuff, but the best way to describe it is that with Cat, I can be myself. She knows who I am. Who I really am. I don't have to pretend to be something I am not. And she brings out the best in me."
