Earl Spencer Confirms Relationship with Archaeologist Cat Jarman

The announcement comes amid Jarman's legal action against Spencer's estranged wife, Karen Spencer, for alleged misuse of private information.

Charles Spencer, the 9th Earl Spencer, publicly confirmed his relationship with Norwegian archaeologist Dr. Cat Jarman during an interview on Good Morning Britain.
Dr. Cat Jarman has filed a lawsuit against Karen Spencer, the Earl's estranged wife, for alleged misuse of private information.
Spencer and Jarman co-host the podcast 'The Rabbit Hole Detectives' along with Reverend Richard Coles, which led to the development of a close friendship and eventual romance.
The Earl announced his separation from Karen Spencer in June 2024, after 13 years of marriage, and has hired lawyer Fiona Shackleton for the divorce proceedings.
Jarman and Spencer met through their mutual publisher and bonded over archaeological projects at the Earl's Althorp estate, which is also the final resting place of his sister, Princess Diana.
