Earl Spencer's Wife Praises Him for Book on Princess Diana

Earl Spencer's wife, Professor Cat Jarman, has publicly praised her husband following the release of his new book, "Swan Song: Diana, My Sister." Professor Jarman expressed immense pride in Earl Spencer's resilience and determination in confronting the memories of his sister, Princess Diana, for the book.

In an Instagram post, Professor Jarman described the writing process as demanding, noting that Earl Spencer would wake at 4 a.m. daily to work on the manuscript. She characterized the memories unearthed as sometimes "glorious" and at other times "utterly heartbreaking."

Professor Jarman shared an image of the Earl writing at Althorp, the Spencer family's ancestral home, and conveyed her happiness to be by his side during this endeavor. The book, which has been serialized by the Daily Mail, offers readers insights into the sister Earl Spencer wrote it for.

The couple married in a private ceremony in Arizona earlier this year, five years after Professor Jarman, an archaeologist, began working at Althorp. This is Earl Spencer's fourth marriage. His divorce from his third wife was finalized in February.

Earl Spencer previously stated that Professor Jarman, who he met professionally at Althorp, has significantly influenced his life and is distinct from previous partners.

The book's publication has also drawn attention due to a dispute with Piers Morgan. Earl Spencer has apologized to Morgan for inaccuracies in the book regarding their interactions around Princess Diana's funeral and the publication of photographs. Morgan had threatened legal action over what he described as "fabricated inaccuracies."

Earl Spencer's representatives clarified that while he stood by his account of Morgan's demeanor during a phone call, he acknowledged an incorrect assumption about Morgan's role at the time certain photographs of Princess Diana were published. Earl Spencer has apologized for this specific error, emphasizing the importance of accuracy as a historian.
