Mel B recalls awkward encounter with Prince William

Mel B has recounted the embarrassing exchange she suffered with Prince William, all thanks to a dress designed by her good friend Victoria Beckham.

The Spice Girl, 47, has revealed how her bandmate Posh, 48, designed her dress for an investiture ceremony at Buckingham Palace last year, joking that Victoria sewed it on purpose when it came to her attire.

Speaking on Live with Kelly and Ryan, Mel detailed how she wore a dress with a ‘big breast on the chest’ where her medal should have been, adding: ‘Victoria knew. She knew!’.

Explaining how her friend had designed the dress, Mel said: “It was quite embarrassing, actually, because I didn’t realize the medal goes here on your chest.”

She continued: ‘Victory [Beckham] I designed my dress for the occasion. And she made a big slit right there. And I was like “Oh, sorry!”

Co-host Ryan Seacrest congratulated Mel on (The Most Excellent Order of the British Empire) for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women.

Mel B went on to talk about her previous meetings with the royals, revealing that the greeting from the Prince of Wales was very informal.

She said: ‘I’ve met royalty before so he said: ‘Oh hi, how are you?’

Mel then recalled a meeting when Prince William and his brother Prince Harry were “very young” at Buckingham Palace with the Spice Girls.

She said: ‘When we flew to Buckingham Palace, this is when they were very young, the royals. We had peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, without the crust, which was a little fancy for me.

So I decided: ‘Can we go to the kitchen and make some toast and jam?’ So we did that too.

Mel previously cheekily confessed that she didn’t wear panties when she received her royal honours.

But while receiving the honor, the cheeky Mel joked that she was “totally naked” beneath her figure-hugging outfit.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: ‘Victoria asked me: ‘Will you wear nipple covers?’ I said, “Why bother?”

The singer also revealed that Prince William had begged her for a Spice Girls reunion.

She said: “And he asked, ‘Are you going to get the Spice Girls back together?’ I told him I was having dinner with Victoria that night and he said, ‘Oh, good, I’ll work on David then.’

Mel added that she and Prince William had talked about his work on domestic violence, which she called a “very special moment for me.”

Mel’s appearance comes after Prince Harry referenced a meeting with the Spice Girls in his memoir, Spare, which was published last week.

Prince Harry recalled his first public engagement since the death of his mother Princess Diana, where the Spice Girls performed at a charity event in Africa organized by Nelson Mandela in November 1997.

In the book, she says, “The Spice Girls concert represented my first public appearance since the funeral, and I knew intuitively, through overheard snippets of conversation, that public curiosity about my well-being was running high.” said the Duke of Sussex. who was 12 years old at the time, continued.

“I didn’t want to let them down, but I also wanted them to leave. I remember stepping on the red carpet, having a smile on my face, suddenly wishing I was in my bed at St. James’s Palace,” she added.
