Charles Spencer Marries Archaeologist Cat Jarman in Private Arizona Ceremony

The quiet desert wedding marks a clear break from the grand society ceremonies that defined his earlier marriages.

Overview

  • The couple, who wed Friday in Sedona’s Cathedral Rock area, chose a small desert ceremony in Arizona.
  • They shared a brief statement saying they feel “incredibly happy,” and People magazine published images from the day.
  • Their relationship began through work after Spencer reviewed Jarman’s 2021 book River Kings, then grew through digs and a history podcast with Reverend Richard Coles.
  • The wedding comes after Jarman’s High Court claim that Karen Spencer disclosed her multiple sclerosis diagnosis, a civil case settled out of court in late 2025 with no admission of liability.
  • This is Spencer’s fourth marriage, and the low-key setting suggests a preference for privacy following years of public attention linked to his family and prior unions.
