AceShowbiz - In a recent interview with The Mail on Sunday, November 24, Charles Spencer, the 60-year-old younger brother of Princess Diana, and Cat Jarman, a 42-year-old archeologist, opened up about their relationship for the first time. Spencer admitted that he was initially hesitant to pursue a romantic connection with Jarman due to their age difference, but their shared interests and her ability to make him laugh drew them together.

"I'm too old for hearts and flowers," said Spencer, "but with Cat, I can be myself. She knows who I really am, and she brings out the best in me."

Jarman acknowledged that she initially saw their relationship solely as a friendship, but their bond gradually deepened. "I feel that I've got to know Charles very gradually, as a friend," she said. "I know who he is now. That is all that matters."

Despite their strong connection, Spencer and Jarman are not currently living together and are taking their time. Spencer remains legally married to Karen Spencer, from whom he announced his divorce in June 2024.

Their relationship has also been met with controversy. Jarman has filed a lawsuit against Karen Spencer, alleging misuse of private information. The specifics of the lawsuit remain unknown.

Spencer acknowledges that his relationship with Jarman is a "departure" from his previous relationships. "I don't want to denigrate anyone, but Cat is just completely different to anyone I've ever been with before," he said.
