What do you get when you put the Spice Girls [1] and the royal family together? Why, the most British thing you could ever see, of course. Since releasing their very first single over 22 years ago, the former girl band has met with the royals on many occasions [2], and judging by the following photos, it seems as though the famous family might love them as much as we do.

From meeting a very excited Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice to breaking royal protocol and planting a kiss on Prince Charles's cheek, Victoria Beckham [3], Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm, Geri Halliwell [4], and Emma Bunton have had some pretty epic moments [5] with the British royal family. Read on to see 10 photos of the two worlds colliding.
