Huge 90s band set to reunite for King Charles’ Coronation in May
THE Spice Girls could be set to reunite for King Charles’ Coronation in May as part of the blockbuster royal concert.
It comes after Charles met the girl band several times over the course of their career, including in 1997 when Ginger Spice Geri Horner, 50, and Scary Spice Mel B , 47, planted a cheeky kiss on his cheek.
It is believed that the royal organisers have requested the British pop icons to be a star signing at the three day celebration, taking place Saturday May 6, Sunday May 7 and Monday May 8.
If the music coup comes off it will be the first time the girl band, which also includes Victoria Beckham, 48, Emma Bunton, 47, and Melanie C, 49, will have performed as a five-piece since the Olympics closing ceremony in London in 2012.
An insider revealed: “Royal organisers are super keen to secure Britain’s biggest girl band and the Spice Girls are seriously pondering a return to the stage as a five piece for such a historical event.
“Certainly the reality is that the Coronation is as special as The Olympics - a one off celebration and unique performance.

“There is a general sense that a reunion could happen for something this significant.
“Mel B and Mel C are the ring leaders in the group, trying to make it happen.”
Last week Mel B hinted that the Spice Girls would be reuniting for a secret project - with all five on board.
Speaking in the US she said: “I can’t tell you exactly, but there’s going to be something that is going to be announced pretty soon.

“I am probably going to get told off.
“It is a project that we’re very excited about.
“It will be all five of us.”
Last year Mel C spoke of her regret at not being able to perform at the Queen’s Jubilee concert.
She said: “You know what, we would have loved to be there but it was just one of those situations where it was impossible.
“With us girls, there is so much that we would like to do but there are four, five, people involved with families and other commitments and responsibilities.
“So, I think that was something that we had to miss.
“We weren’t happy about having to miss it, but yeah, sometimes things don’t work out.”
The Sun on Sunday reached out to a Spice Girls spokeswoman for comment.
