All five of the Spice Girls have scored invites to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s royal wedding.
This is according to Mel B (real name: Melanie Brown), who shared the exciting news on American talk show “The Real.”
She simply nodded when a host asked if she knew anyone attending the ceremony. “Well us five Spice Girls.”
The hit ’90s all-girl group comprises Brown (Scary Spice), Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice) and Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice).
Songs like “Wannabe” and “Stop” defined the pop scene at the time; several fans worldwide were left disappointed when they disbanded in 2000 to pursue their respective solo careers.

Brown refused to squeal and simply threw cue cards into the air. “I’m going to get fired,” she joked.
According to Page Six, a source said that they would be attending the wedding, but wouldn’t be performing.
The women are no stranger to the royal family: they have a history that goes back to 1997 when they performed at the Prince’s Trust Charity. They played cheeky with Prince Charles, with Brown and Halliwell planting big kisses on his cheeks.
This will be Posh Spice’s second royal wedding: she was present at Prince William and Kate Middleton’s Westminster Abbey ceremony in 2011 with husband and footballer David Beckham. Niña V. Guno /ra
