Now a source tells The Mail's Alison Boshoff that Victoria will not be part of the virtual. line-up, adding: "Simon Fuller planning a tour has caused yet another schism. Victoria is f****d off that they have gone with him and there is no way that she will be a part of it. "The bad feeling seems to go back to her and David having to spend millions on buying him out of Beckham Brand Holdings. "He still has a stake and board seat on her fashion business. There is resentment there. "But Simon Fuller is the only person who could get Geri to rejoin the Spice Girls. "He is also the one person in the world who could never persuade Victoria." It follows a tricky time for Victoria and her family amid a and his wife Nicola Peltz. Her husband David celebrated his 50th last month with a string of parties, though Brooklyn stayed away.

Victoria Beckham continues to rake in thousands from Spice Girls royalties as staggering sum is revealed
Victoria Beckham hasn't sung with the Spice Girls since 2012, but her royalties continue to roll in. The fashion designer, 51, still makes thousands from her royalties in the band despite not singing a note for years. Spice Girls Ltd made a £93,000 profit last year, according to newly filed documents. With Posh Spice owning a fifth of the business, her share comes in at £18,600 – enough to top up her cellar with a few bottles of David's favourite 1961 Chateau Petrus, costing £3,000 per bottle. Victoria made a whopping £1million from her music in the last year alone, despite not singing or touring since 2012. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Companies House documents which cover the period ending March 2024 show that the former pop star now has £2.4million in her firm Moody Productions, which she set up back in 1997 to look after the cash she makes from music. According to The Sun, paperwork said the earnings are for the 'recoupment of music recording and publishing royalties and endorsement activities'. Solo, Victoria has 19,900 monthly listeners on Spotify, while The Spice Girls have a whopping 12.6 million fans who are regularly streaming their music. The last time the star performed with the Spice Girls was during the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony. Spice Girls' former manager Simon Fuller has reportedly 'revealed his huge plans for the girl group's reunion' - but there's a twist. The Pop Idol creator, 65, is said to be hoping to mark the 30th anniversary of their debut hit Wannabe. It has already been said that Victoria is '90 per cent out of the running', but he now appears to have found a way around it. Simon's new idea could see the band reunite on stage as avatars, just like ABBA have with their smash hit hologram show. A source told The Sun: 'He was the person who came up with the original idea for Abba and their digital show and he thinks this model could work perfectly for the group.' They continued: 'Even Victoria said she would be behind it if all of them had agreed. She wouldn't stop it. 'Simon knows this plan would mean the band would be making money in their sleep and it would open up their music to a whole new generation.' In 2016, Simon persuaded super-group ABBA to reunite to explore working in virtual reality, which led to the ABBA Voyage project which has been pulling in fans for three years at a purpose-built East London arena. MailOnline contacted Simon's representative for comment. Victoria and her husband David fell out with him about seven years ago and bought themselves out of their contracts with the mogul's XIX Entertainment agency. The couple paid around £38 million for Simon's 33 per cent stake in the former England footballer's businesses, which gave David and Victoria full control of Beckham Brand Holdings, which includes a stake in US-based football club Inter Miami. Last week, Mel C broke her silence on the upcoming Spice Girls reunion tour, revealing that one member still 'needs more convincing' to take to the stage. But in a new interview, she shared her excitement about the tour and let slip that one other member seemingly wasn't as enthusiastic about picking up the mic again and needed further persuasion. Speaking on the No Filter with Kate Langbroek podcast, Sporty Spice shared: 'Next year is a big year for us and we have to acknowledge it in some way. 'So we are talking about what that's going to look like and for me, Melanie, I know for sure, and Emma [Bunton], we'd be back on stage. But sometimes other people need a little bit more convincing.' Amid her revelation that it was Geri Halliwell-Horner that needed convincing, this further adds to recent reports that Ginger Spice is set to meet with Spice Girls manager Simon in Miami to discuss the plans. The singer, 52, recently remained coy about a possible reunion, saying in an interview last month: 'I love the Spice Girls as a whole movement, the tribe of us, and the individual members.' Since they officially broke up they there have been various rumours that they would reunite - with Mel B recently sharing her enthusiasm again for another tour. Mel C previously hinted that the band could do something special next year to mark the 30-year anniversary of their debut album, Spice. The girl group last toured together in 2020 as a foursome, with only Victoria missing the last time Emma, Mel B, Mel C, Victoria and Geri all performed as a five was during the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympics.

Princess Kate knows EXACTLY what she's doing with secret power suit message to Posh, expert says
PRINCESS Kate knew exactly what she was doing with her secret power suit message to Posh, a royal expert has claimed. The Princess of Wales, 43, presented the Queen Elizabeth II Award for British Design while wearing a suit designed by Posh Spice herself last week. 4 4 4 And, the Princess hinted at the reason for her Beckham backing after she was overheard saying she liked to support British designers. Now, royal experts Samara Gill and Arthur Edwards have weighed in on on The Sun's royal exclusive show. Speaking to our royal editor Matt Wilkinson, Arthur said that he is "certain" Kate wore the Victoria Beckham outfit to show some solidarity. Arthur said that Kate looked "stunning" in the suit. He added that David is a "lovely man" who has given everything to help Brooklyn have a life and a successful career. Arthur said: "Family is everything, if you distance yourself from then, it's just sad. "It's like Harry, family is so important it's everything." David and Victoria are reportedly fighting with their son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30. And the royal experts believed the "power suit" worn by Kate really showed where her allegiances lie. Brooklyn and Nicola were absent from David's epic 50th birthday celebrations, including an intimate family dinner at their Cotswolds home, a family trip to France two days later and a Saturday night soiree in London. Prince Harry & Meghan's secret mansion summit with Brooklyn Beckham & Nicola Peltz to share trauma of toxic family feuds At the event last week, the Princess of Wales was seen presenting winning designer Patrick McDowell with the prestigious award. Kate toured the pop-up studio of Patrick McDowell, who runs a luxury sustainable fashion brand that has dressed Lady Gaga and Keira Knightley, to see the designer and his team in action. While being shown the exhibition space, Kate was heard telling Patrick: "I love British fashion and up and coming designers." She also chatted to models hailing the design and cut of their outfits and was overheard celebrating "sustainability in the fashion industry". Prince Harry & Meghan's secret mansion summit with Brooklyn Beckham & Nicola Peltz to share trauma of toxic family feuds PRINCE Harry and Meghan are secretly supporting Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz amid their family row — and had them over for dinner last week. The quartet dined at the Sussexes' mansion in Montecito, California, just days after Brooklyn skipped all of his dad David's 50th birthday celebrations. A source familiar with the event said: 'Harry and Meghan were very empathetic and very kind to them both. ' Harry was fully aware of the situation and offered Brooklyn his unwavering support as someone who has been through similar.' The Duchess of Sussex and Nicola found 'common ground' after both were accused of wrecking their husbands' families, sources told The Sun. Harry offered his 'unwavering support' to Brooklyn at the private get-together amid their ongoing 'toxic' family feuds. Influencer Brooklyn, 26, and his US actress wife Nicola, 30, are said to have 'gratefully received' an invitation to dinner at the Sussexes' £11million mansion in Montecito, California. It came just days after David Beckham's 50th birthday celebrations, which were skipped by his son and daughter-in-law. While the dinner had been arranged before the acrimonious fall-out between the Beckham clan, the quartet were said to have 'found a lot of common ground'. Last night, a source familiar with the intimate event said: 'This was an unexpected invite, but one gratefully received by Brooklyn and Nicola, who both feel pretty battle-wounded. 'Harry and Meghan were very empathetic and very kind to them both. 'Harry was fully aware of the situation and offered Brooklyn his unwavering support as someone who has been through similar. 'Nicola and Meghan also had a bit of a 'deep n' meaningful' as obviously both women have been positioned in the media as home-wreckers — the women to tear apart their husbands' families. 'Meghan had a lot of sympathy for her, and said there was shared common ground. 'They didn't meet in relation to recent developments and headlines, but it was an honest but very welcome coincidence.' It comes as Kate hailed nature as her "sanctuary" in a touching video marking her and William's anniversary trip to a Scottish island. She posted the 2.26-second long clip to her Instagram account, speaking out about the importance of nature and sustainability. In the video, the Princess of Wales narrated the short clip, speaking about the importance of nature. She explained that nature has been her "sanctuary" it represents "rebirth" - highlighting her passion for eco-conscious practices in the fashion world and beyond. 4

Victoria Beckham, 51, wows in wet, see-through swimwear in sexy shoot as she gets one over on Nicola Peltz amid feud
VICTORIA Beckham poses in one of her raunchiest photoshoots yet — and upstages daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz amid their family feud. Posh Spice, 51, got one over on son Brooklyn's wife Nicola with the sexy Instagram shots for her new perfumes. Model and actress Nicola, 30, wore a far less revealing white polka dot top in images posted just a few hours earlier on the picture sharing site. Victoria is locked in a feud with Nicola and Brooklyn, 26, after he snubbed her on Mother's Day and her birthday. The young couple also failed to show up to any of his dad David's 50th birthday celebrations. A source said: 'Both Victoria and Nicola have had a hell of a couple of weeks, for all the wrong reasons. 'Whilst they are both being dragged through the mill emotionally, they are both astute businesswomen and entrepreneurs. ' Victoria knows the power of a well-timed post. "She is looking better than ever and these campaign shots are unbelievable. ' Nicola, for her part, is a young millennial and utterly socially media aware. "The timing of these posts is not, surely, coincidental.' Meanwhile, this year's Sunday Times Rich List, published yesterday, revealed Victoria and David are worth a combined £500million.
