Neither Victoria Beckham or Geri Halliwell will attend their fellow Spice Girl Melanie Brown’s wedding on Saturday, MailOnline can reveal.
The fashion designer and Geri are both absent from the guest list for Scary Spice‘s big day at St Paul’s Cathedral this weekend when she marries fiancé Rory McPhee in what otherwise promises to be a star-studded bash.
There is also a suggestion that another member of the band, either Emma Bunton or Melanie Chisholm, are also not going.
Sources say that Posh, 51, will be abroad, with one explaining: ‘Victoria has long standing plans out of the country and she simply can’t be there.
‘She adores Mel, they get on really well despite their paths going in opposite directions. It’s a real shame.
‘There is no issue between them, they haven’t fallen out. It’s just one of those things.’

As for Geri, she and Mel have a tempestuous relationship and at times have struggled to be in the same room without there being animosity.
The two women went to war after Mel B revealed that she had an intimate relationship with Geri when the band was starting out while she was being interviewed for Piers Morgan’s Life Stories programme.
Geri was deeply upset by the bombshell revelation in 2019, for which Mel has apparently never apologised.
Sources also say that Geri’s husband Christian Horner was ‘mortified’ about Mel’s claims.
Neither Victoria or Geri attended Mel’s 50th birthday in Leeds back in May. Just Emma and Mel C were in attendance.
It is the third time that Mel will say ‘I do’ after first marrying Dutch backing dancer Jimmy Gulzar in 1998.
For her big day, Mel wore a Vegas showgirl-style feathered headdress with a white and gold dress.
And when she wed Stephen Belafonte in 2007, they eloped to Las Vegas before holding a vow renewal in Egypt the following year.

Mel is set to marry fiancé of three-years Rory McPhee, 37, at London’s famous St. Paul’s Cathedral later this year (pictured together)
Mel and Stephen separated in 2016 when she accused him of emotional and physical abuse, which he has always denied.
His lawyers said that during the marriage they spent her £50million fortune.
Mel grew close to Rory after the breakdown of her marriage to Stephen.
Last year, she said: ‘He’s a family friend, great hairdresser… when I went back to England, he would come over and give me hair treatments…
‘And as he was nurturing my curls back, I guess he was nurturing my trust and belief in a relationship.’
She is able to marry him at St Paul’s Cathedral because of her OBE, which she got in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women, especially Woman’s Aid.
Mel B celebrated her upcoming wedding with a sun-soaked hen party in Tunisia, featuring leopard-print bikinis, a choreographed dance routine, and a ‘Zen party’.
Her daughter Phoenix and 35 friends joined in the festivities, which included a lavish menu and dancing by the ocean.
The hen party also included a leopard print themed night, as well as a belly dancing class.
Mel’s first husband was Phoenix’s father Jimmy Gulzar who she was married to between 1998 and 2000 (pictured 1999)
She was later married to Stephen Belafonte (pictured together 2016) before their acrimonious split
