Mel B received royal honours on Wednesday in the first major investiture at Buckingham Palace since the start of the pandemic. The Spice Girl, 46, who was accompanied by proud mum Andrea, was named in the New Year Honours for services to charitable causes and vulnerable women. On her special day at the Queen's London residence, where she was appointed an MBE by Prince William, the singer looked stunning in a red dress - designed by fellow Spice Girl Victoria Beckham - an accompanying headpiece and white heels.
Mel could not keep the smile from her face as proudly as she received the reputable accolade from the Duke Of Cambridge, after presenting him her best curtesy. The Woman's Aid patron dedicated her MBE to other people who suffered in abusive relationships. Speaking to The Sun about learning she had received the honour, she said: 'I thought about all the women I've met over the past few years who have been through terrible situations, women who have died, women who are still suffering.
'This, for me, was all about them. It still is. 'She continued: 'Receiving that letter telling me about the MBE.
. . it was the first time I thought that I'd done something.
'Not as a Spice Girl, but as Melanie Brown - this working-class, mixed-race kid from Leeds who has always done her own thing, regardless. 'That made me feel incredibly proud of myself, of all women who've been through similar experiences and of all the people who have helped me along this path. ' Melanie split from her film producer ex-husband Stephen Belafonte in 2017 after a decade.
