There are active talks between the Spice Girls management and Prince Harry’s staff.”
Samir Hussein/WireImage.comMel B stirred speculation that the girl group would perform at the couple’s reception when she all but confirmed it on the Tuesday, February 27, episode of The Real. The singer, 42, claimed that she and her bandmates are invited to the royal affair. “I’m going. I’m not sure if I should have said that!” she admitted. “Us five Spice Girls. Why am I so honest?”

Harry’s love for the Spice Girls apparently goes way back to 1997, when the then 13-year-old royal met the group backstage at a charity concert in South Africa. The photos of their meet-and-greet are predictably adorable, to say the least.
