Controversy surrounds Earl Spencer’s prestigious estate, Althorp House, as allegations of age discrimination and mistreatment of a teenage employee come to light. Former Oxford student, Thomas James, claims he was denied breaks during long shifts and faced chastisement from Earl Spencer himself. However, a judge dismissed his claims as lacking credibility. The historic estate, home to Princess Diana during her childhood, has been in the Spencer family for over 500 years. Despite the dismissal of the case, questions remain about the treatment of young workers at this renowned property.
