Charles Spencer Helped New Wife Cat Jarman Discover a Surprising Passion After MS Diagnosis

Charles Spencer and his new wife, Cat Jarman, share a new hobby in their newlywed days

NEED TO KNOW

• Jarman has taken up horseback riding in the last few months

• They spent part of their honeymoon, following their surprise wedding on May 15, horseback riding in the rugged Arizona desert

Charles Spencerand his new wife, Professor Cat Jarman, have been sharing a new pastime despite her multiple sclerosis diagnosis.

Jarman has taken up horseback riding and was seen riding off into newlywed life on a pony trek through the rugged landscape of the Arizona desert on her honeymoon.

Charles, the 9th Earl Spencer, introduced his archaeologist wife to horse riding at home in the U.K. in the countryside around his estate, Althorp, where he grew up with his sister, the latePrincess Diana. Jarman had not tried riding horses before she met Charles, 61.

She has also added another string to her bow. Jarman surprised herself in taking up archery on horseback, something friends say she never thought she could contemplate in the light of her MS diagnosis.

The Viking expert discovered she had MS in 2016 while finishing her PhD. Several months ago, revealing a picture of herself shotting arrows from a horseback, she wrote, "I’d give anything to be able to go back to that 2016 version of me, terrified that it was the end of my life as I knew it, to tell her this is where I’d be in 2025: I thought I’d never be able to use my right arm again, and believed, like I was told, that I’d have less than a decade before my body would fail me."

"To actually hit a few targets in a trot this week, nine months after my first ever riding lesson, feels like a massive F*** Y** to MS!" she wrote on Instagram in November 2025.

PEOPLE confirmed on May 19 that Spencer and Jarman wed in a private ceremonyin Arizona on May 15, saying in a statement: “We both feel so incredibly lucky to have progressed from being colleagues, to friendship, to deep love and connection. Each stage of our relationship has been underpinned by laughter, and we share a passion for life.”

Jarman and Spencer connected after he was asked to review her 2021 nonfiction bestsellerRiver Kings, and they continued to work together, collaborating on archaeological digs and launching the podcastThe Rabbit Hole Detectiveswith Rev. Richard Coles.

They announced they had traveled to Arizona to marry, releasing new images of their nuptials. The pictures showed the couple holding hands and posing close across five slides, with Sedona’s iconic Cathedral Rock serving as the backdrop. Jarman wore a pale blue sleeveless gown, while Spencer had a dark suit and an open-collared blue shirt.

Reflecting on his happy day, when he wed Jarman on May 15, Spencer said, "A very close friend said to me, months ago: 'The thing about Cat is, she’d want to be with you if you lived in a hut.' Little did I know she’d also be happy to marry me in a desert 🌵," he wrote.

Soon afterwards, they showed a video clip of them on horseback, riding off to their new life together.

The former couple share 13-year-old daughter Charlotte Diana, the youngest of his seven children from his first two marriages.

Their split was finalized in December 2025 afterJarman filed a lawsuit against the Countess. The archaeologist alleged misuse of private information and claimed that Karen disclosed her MS diagnosisin a lawsuit. The case was settled in late 2025.

Spanish police search headquarters of PM Sánchez’s ruling Socialist party

BARCELONA, Spain (AP) — Spanish police searched the headquarters of the ruling Socialist Party on Wednesday as part of an investigation into possible financial wrongdoing linked to party member who allegedly tried to influence police and legal cases that could damage the party.

The raid on the office in central Madrid is another blow to the party ofPrime Minister Pedro Sánchez, whose Socialists have been hammered by aseries of corruption scandals.

“We respect the justice system, we will collaborate with the courts and there is the commitment in the Socialist Party that if there are new episodes of improper behavior, we will act with the same firmness we always have,” Sánchez said in a news conference in Rome.

Sánchez, Spain's leader since 2018, brushed off calling early elections, which will have to take place next year at the latest.

The Civil Guard told The Associated Press that the search was strictly limited to a probe led by National Court judge Santiago Pedraz into the possible wrongdoing of Socialist party member Leire Díez and others.

The case against Díez started in 2025 when audio recordings appeared in Spanish media of her apparent involvement in attempts to discredit a member of the Civil Guard’s anti-corruption unit. Further reports linked her to alleged attempts to influence the work of state prosecutors. The judge's probe is targeted on seeing if she received payments to allegedly carry out these efforts.

The Socialist party said she was acting on her own. Diez, who has left the party, has denied wrongdoing.

Legal woes mount for Spain's Socialists

A statement issued by the court on Wednesday said that judge Pedraz ordered the Civil Guard to “confiscate diverse documentation and electronic archives in an investigation of a ring designed to destabilize judicial processes that were affecting the ruling party.”

The judge said that in addition to Díez, he is now also probing the alleged involvement of former Socialist heavyweight Santos Cerdán — who is already under investigation in a separate corruption case — as well as a former member of the regional government of Andalusia, a police officer, a business owner and two lawyers. The judge is investigating them on suspicions of bribery, making false testimony, forging commercial documents, influence peddling, and corruption.

The searches add to a growing list of legal cases that are hounding Spain's Socialists.

Last week a separate court said it was investigating former Prime Minister José LuisRodríguez Zapateroin connection with a government airline bailout. He has denied any wrongdoing.

Last year, both Cerdán and José Luis Ábalos, transport minister under Sánchez, were placed under investigation on allegations they played a part in a kickback ring that started during the COVID-19 pandemic, which they have denied.

Sánchez says cases won't knock his government off course

Sánchez’s wife and brother are also being probed over allegations of influence peddling, which both have denied.

Sánchez has called the cases against his family a “smear campaign.” But the corruption case against his former cohorts led him toask the nation for “forgiveness.”

His minority government depends on the support of a junior coalition partner, which for now has stuck with it despite the judicial actions.

Sánchez, who has stood out on the international stage for hisprogressive stancesthat have earned the ire of U.S. President Donald Trump, has not been directly linked to any of the scandals.

The search of his party's offices came while Sánchez was in the Vatican for an audience with Pope Leo XIV, who is set to visit Spain from June 6-12. The prime minister said he delayed his news conference so that he could be informed of the searches before speaking to reporters.

While acknowledging the “seriousness” of the events in Madrid, Sánchez insisted Wednesday that the cases of corruption “do nothing to stain the work of this government that, with progressive parties, is working for a social and economic transformation.”
