While they haven’t performed as a five-piece since the London Olympics closing ceremony in 2012. The group, which consists of Geri Halliwell, Mel B, Victoria Beckham, Melanie C, and Emma Bunton, met the then-Prince Charles several times during their glory days in the 1990s. However, royal organizers are reportedly “super keen” to book the entire band for a performance at the upcoming coronation celebrations in May.
According to a source who spoke to The Sun, “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.”
The insider continued by saying that there is a “sense” that the reunion may take place for such a “significant” occasion, which hasn’t happened in Britain since Queen Elizabeth’s coronation in 1953, and that Melanie C and Mel B are “trying to make it happen”. The rumors surfaced just days after ‘I Want You Back’ hitmaker Mel hinted that the band, which last toured together in 2019 sans Victoria, had a new project in the works but would not reveal what it was.
“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,” she said.

When Will King Charles‘ Coronation Take Place?
The coronation of King Charles will take place on May 6, 2023. Along with members of the royal family, representatives from the Houses of Parliament, and “leading citizens” from Commonwealth nations will attend Charles’s coronation. Duchess Camilla will also be crowned Queen Consort.
The Queen expressed her “sincere wish” for Camilla to be crowned queen consort upon Charles’ ascension back in February 2022. However, this does imply that Camilla will be crowned in accordance with custom at a “similar but simpler” ceremony.
Camilla will be a monarch, but she won’t be THE monarch (also known as a Queen Regnant). Hence she won’t share King Charles’s authority. The Coronation is a highly anticipated event that the whole world is looking forward to.
