Diandra Luker Douglas, ex-wife of Michael Douglas, has quietly married William Legge, the Earl of Dartmouth—Princess Diana’s stepbrother—becoming the Countess of Dartmouth. The intimate Gibraltar ceremony reportedly coincided with the Earl’s birthday and had only a handful of witnesses, marking a low-key but status-shifting union that links Diandra to the Spencer family.
Diandra, married to Michael from 1977–2000 and mother to their son Cameron, long carved her own path as a producer (“American Masters,” “Off the Menu,” “Broken Lines”). William’s background is steeped in business and politics: Oxford and Harvard educated, former accountant and director, and a decade as a Member of the European Parliament focused on international trade.
Michael has reflected candidly on their past, saying the marriage likely lingered too long and that counseling prolonged the inevitable. Post-divorce, they awkwardly shared a Mallorca estate before he and Catherine Zeta-Jones took it over. Both parents weathered Cameron’s addiction and prison term; since his 2016 release, he’s rebuilt his life and career, becoming a father and author.
Despite the public breakup and a sizable settlement, Diandra has spoken without bitterness, saying love “metamorphoses” rather than turns to hate. Her new marriage signals a poised second act—Hollywood to aristocracy—defined by resilience, discretion, and a rewritten legacy.
