Charles III’s day of fate finally arrived, on Saturday, with a host of stars invited to attend The coronation of King Charles.
Spice Girl Melanie Brown, 47 – who was one such guest – posed with guards at Westminster Abbey and took to her Instagram Stories to share the fun moment.
The singer and women’s rights activist – who was made an MBE in May 2022 – shone in a tight dark green floor-length dress with a tight side split.
The mother of three’s dress was adorned with red and white embellishments to create a striking neckline.
While maintaining her edgy sense of style, Mel paired her glamorous dress with a pair of chunky black biker boots.

VIP guests lined up a mile from 6 a.m. to get one of the top 2,300 seats in Westminster Abbey on Saturday. The abbey was full just before 9am.
Around 100 heads of state are in London, with representatives from 203 countries on hand to watch Charles be crowned in a Christian ceremony that dates back 1,000 years on a day dripping with glorious pageantry.
Stunning flowers in red, burgundy and yellow gold covered the top of the ornate gold high altar.
A smiling Dean of Westminster in his vivid red priestly robes was seen hastily carrying the holy oil for anointing past the abbey from the altar through the quire, holding the precious ornate silver vessel in both hands.
It also cast a spotlight on Britain’s place on the world stage in the UK’s largest ceremonial military operation since Sir Winston Churchill’s state funeral in 1965 with 7,000 servicemen marching alongside the King and Queen.
The coronation saw 7,000 servicemen and women accompanying Their Majesties, making it the country’s largest ceremonial event since 1953.
Indeed, the coronation procession back from the Abbey after the ceremony was so large that when the King and Queen arrived at Buckingham Palace, the rearguard reached only Downing Street, a mile away.
More than 100 million people around the world watched the historic first coronation of a British monarch in 70 years – with an estimated 2 million people on the streets of London to watch history unfold.

During Saturday’s coronation, the monarch and queen consort Camilla were officially crowned by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby.
King Charles, 74, automatically took over the throne following the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, last September.
A rich royal blue tapestry – chosen to emphasize the king’s and queen’s regal red, gold and purple robes – graced the stage in the coronation theatre.
His family, including Prince Andrew and Princess Anne, enjoyed dinner at Oswald’s Mayfair club on Friday night. Mike and Zara Tindall were gone until 2 a.m.
Prince Harry flew in from Los Angeles for his 24-hour journey. On Friday night it emerged that he has been relegated to the third row in the abbey with other non-working royals.
