Victoria Beckham absent at Coronation despite ‘fond’ times with King

Victoria Beckham declared herself “incredibly humbled” as she shared a photo montage of her favourite moments meeting the royals in times gone by.

The normally poker-faced Victoria had a huge smile on her face in almost all the snaps, taken when she was in one of Britain’s biggest pop bands – the Spice Girls.

Writing to an audience of over 30 million Instagram followers, she exclaimed: “From then to now! I have so many fond memories of meeting His Majesty throughout my career, and he is always so supportive and kind.

“Today is a truly historic day and I’m incredibly humbled to celebrate King Charles III and Queen Camilla as they embark on their new roles. VB.”

In one photo, she flashed a peace sign at the camera, while wearing the classic little black dress for which she would later become world-famous.

Some fans were surprised not to see Victoria in attendance at the once-in-a-lifetime event, as it had previously been thought she would be there.

However, David and Victoria have attended Buckingham Palace in the past, where they met the Queen, and back in 2011, they also took up an invite to Prince William’s wedding to Kate Middleton.

Referring to receiving his MBE in 2003, David told the Times: “The fact that I’ve been able to go to Buckingham Palace and I’ve been able to meet the Queen, that’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”

Although Victoria might have missed out on the big day today, she has been honoured by Queen Letizia of Spain.

The royal wore a bright green dress from her VB collection, which was first modelled for the world at Paris Fashion Week last autumn, and Victoria described her look as “spectacular”.
