He said, “15 May 2026 - the happiest day ever.”

Spencer went on saying, “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.”

Earlier, Prince William and Harry’s uncle and his new wife said in a joint 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.”

Charles Spencer’s marriage with Jarman marks his fourth.

Previously, the younger brother of Diana was married to Victoria Lockwood from 1989 to 1997, Caroline Freud from 2001 to 2007 and Karen Spencer from 2011 until their divorce last year.

They shared a daughter, 13-year-old Charlotte Diana.

He is also father to six other children from his previous marriages.

Jarman was previously married and is a mother of two sons with ex-husband Tom Jarman.
