Geri paired her dressy jacket with a pair of wide-legged white pants and bumped up her height in some sky-high platform heels.
She completed her look by styling her hair in soft curls and carrying a Gucci crossbody clutch.
After joining the society in 2020, Geri said in a statement via social media: “I am delighted to have become the Royal Commonwealth Society’s inaugural ambassador.”
“Throughout my life, I have been a great believer in the power of coming together and breaking down barriers.”
The award-winning songwriter has been heavily involved in humanitarian work throughout her career, using her platform to shed light and raise awareness on issues like breast cancer and mental ill-health.
Ginger Spice joined King Charles, Prince William, the Queen Consort and the Princess of Wales for the annual service.
Also in attendance were the new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, Edward and Sofia, and Princess Anne.
The theme for this year’s Commonwealth Day is “forging a sustainable and peaceful common future”, something the King himself highlighted in words that echoed his campaign on the issue as Prince of Wales.

Inside, King Charles went up to the Grand Pulpit where he paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth’s pride in the “family of nations”, describing her as a force for good in areas such as climate change and biodiversity loss, as well as the economic cooperation and health.
The late Queen did not deliver her message in person. Instead, she was imprinted in the service program.
It is understood that the new monarch, who also succeeded his mother as head of the Commonwealth, wished to personally mark her passing, as well as his own maiden address.
The King told the congregation of 2,000: “Commonwealth Day was a particularly proud occasion for my beloved mother, the late Queen, a precious opportunity to celebrate our Commonwealth family, to whose service she devoted her long and remarkable life”.

‘In succeeding Her Majesty as Head of the Commonwealth, I draw so much strength from her example, along with all that I have learned from the extraordinary people I have known, across the Commonwealth, over so many years.
‘The Commonwealth has been a constant in my own life, and yet its diversity continues to amaze and inspire me. Its almost limitless potential as a force for good in the world demands our greatest ambition; its sheer scale challenges us to come together and be bold.’
The Commonwealth is a global network of countries formed in the waning days of the British Empire, but it has proven so enduring that new members have joined without empirical ties.
The member states share economic, environmental, social and democratic goals and have a combined population of 2.4 billion people, almost a third of the world’s population, of whom more than 60 percent are under 30 years of age.
