Mel B remembered meeting young Harry and William and revealed that one of the brothers had a childhood crush on fellow Spice Girl Emma Bunton, although she admitted she can't remember whether it was William or Harry.

She said, "They were such cute kids."

"I can’t remember whether it was William or Harry who had a crush on Emma [Bunton AKA Baby Spice], but they were so polite and charming and gorgeous," the singer added. "They were young princes and we made them peanut butter and jam sandwiches."

It is pertinent to mention that Mel B's connection with Prince William continued years later when the Prince of Wales presented her with an MBE in 2022 for her work supporting survivors of domestic abuse through Women's Aid.

Recalling the special moment, Mel B said, "He commended me on all my work that I’ve been doing, and he goes, 'I’m so sorry you went through such a horrible time'."

Furthermore, Mel B revealed that the dress she wore at the ceremony was designed by Victoria Beckham, her former Spice Girls bandmate and it featured a strategically placed neckline that made the medal presentation slightly awkward. "It was when he was pinning my MBE to my chest in a dress Victoria had made for me, which was just a little bit revealing in exactly the place he pinned the medal to."

"Victoria knew exactly what she was doing when she designed it for me," she jokingly added.
