Should Meghan worry as Mel B spills the beans on her ‘visits’ to Harry’s house?
S HE previously hinted that the girl band would be performing at this nuptials to Meghan Markle later this month. And Mel B has now given insight into the Spice Girls’ close relationship with Prince Harry – revealing that the band used to go to his house for beans on toast.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, the 42-year-old said she and her bandmates were close to both Harry and William in their youth, and would often visit them at home.
When asked about her relationship with the princes, the America’s Got Talent judge said: ‘Oh, they’re great. They’re great kids.’
In a more surprising admission however, Mel, right, went on to reveal the girl group would often visit the boys for unexpectedly humble dinners. She added: ‘We’d go over to their house and have peanut butter and jelly sandwiches! And we would have beans on toast.’
The band – Mel, Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton, Victoria Beckham and Geri Horner, first met the 33year-old royal in 1997 when they performed in South Africa.
Proving to be fans of the band in their youth, Prince Charles then took the boys to the premiere of their film Spice World: The Movie a month later.
Back in February of this year, Mel had hinted that the Spice Girls would be performing at Prince Harry’s wedding to actress Meghan Markle later this month.
Appearing on talk show The Real, she was asked if she knew anyone attending the nuptials – with Mel nodding in response, and mouthing: ’Yeah, I’m going... I don’t know if I should’ve said that!’ When asked if anyone else they knew would be attending, Mel continued: ‘Well, us five Spice Girls... why am I so honest?’
While she wouldn’t divulge what the invitations looked like, as she felt that was ‘too personal’, she did come over all coy when asked whether the Spice Girls would be performing at the wedding after the ceremony.
The star didn’t verbally confirm the news, but once the question was asked she threw her cue cards into the air, and quipped: ‘I swear I’m just ... I need to go, I’m going to be fired. I’m gonna be fired.’
However, bandmate Mel C appeared to quash her claims a month later at the Prince’s Trust Awards.
Speaking to HELLO!, she said: ‘I’ve met Prince Charles lots of times. I’m going to ask him where my invite is because I haven’t got mine yet. Obviously, Mel B said she has hers.
‘I think Mel was just kind of having a bit of a joke. There are no plans to go to the wedding at the moment.’
