Prince Harry named 'real ginger spice' as cheeky book reference leaves people in stitches

Prince Harry Ginger Spice Duke Spice Girls

Prince Harry's new book Spare has proven to be chock-full of revelations, and, to the delight of '90s music fans, also details his meeting with the Spice Girls as a youngster. The Duke, who was just 13-years-old when he met the iconic girl group back in 1997, recalled being 'fixated' by Baby Spice's (Emma Bunton's) white 12-inch platform heels, and also remembered how she kept pinching his cheeks.

The Spice Girl he felt the most connection with however was Ginger Spice, with her flaming red hair not unlike his own. The Prince and his father King Charles met the group while at a concert in South Africa, held in honour of Nelson Mandela.
