King Charles III in 1997 with the Spice Girls and what really happened with the bottom incident.Mel was in attendance at the Royal Gala alongside Geri Horner (Ginger Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Melanie 'Mel B' Brown (Scary Spice) and Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice).They were due to perform at the 21st anniversary of the Prince's Trust event, but some of the girls had other ideas with the future King.The Wannabe hitmarkers all circled around the future king, with Geri and Mel B even planting kisses on his cheeks, ignoring all royal protocol before snapping the now-iconic photo.But the heat was really turned up when Geri interrupted to tell Charles that he was "very sexy" as well as controversially patting his rear.Speaking about the unusual day, Mel C said: "I saw him earlier this year at the Prince’s Trust Awards, and we do always have a little chuckle at some of the funny situations."The Telegraph interviewer then asked Mel about the famous bottom patting incident, to which she replied: "I say, ‘Look, it wasn’t me!

I’m not to blame!’ He’s always had a sense of humour, which is obviously important."So I’m hoping for good things. He’s quite in touch with the people."Geri has since broken her silence on the incident due to many publications claiming she had pinched the royals derriere.She told The Times: "I didn’t pinch Prince Charles’s bum, as was reported."I patted it.
