Geri Halliwell has been spotted attending today’s Commonwealth Day Service – as the scandal involving her husband Christian Horner continues to rumble on.
The former Spice Girl, 51, smiled at the cameras as she arrived at Westminster Abbey to take her seats among other high-profile guests, including Prince William.
Halliwell has continued to publicly support her husband, appearing at both the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia Grand Prix events.
His position as team principal has been the subject of intense speculation after he was accused of ‘inappropriate behaviour’ by a female employee before the start of the 2024 season.
An investigation cleared Horner and it appeared that he would retain his position within the team, before alleged messages to the complainant were divulged to a number of media outlets and F1 figures.

On Sunday, Horner received hundreds of comments from baffled fans after he posted a Mother’s Day message to Halliwell
The woman who accused Horner of coercive behaviour was last week suspended from her role at Red Bull as a direct result of the investigation after been told her evidence was ‘dishonest’.
But in a new development, reported by The Sun, she has appointment new lawyers and is now planning to appeal the verdict that exonerated him.

‘The woman’s honesty has been called into question and her evidence was shown to be flawed.’

Fans claimed the timing of his message was ‘strategic’ amid his ‘sex texts’ scandal and branded him ‘stupid’ for not disabling comments on his Instagram.

Dr Helmut Marko said Horner’s suspension was now ruled out after talks with the energy drinks company’s head of sport
It followed another extraordinary weekend at the Milton Keynes-based outfit, on and off the track. On Saturday, Dr Helmut Marko insisted he would not be leaving Red Bull as a result of the scandal.
The 80-year-old motorsport adviser said suspension was now ruled out after talks with the energy drinks company’s head of sport, Oliver Mintzlaff, in the Jeddah paddock.
Only a day before Marko had hinted he was through the door, possibly never to return after being accused by the team of leaking evidence over Horner’s behaviour towards a female colleague, a claim he denies.
Marko’s departure may well have triggered Max Verstappen going with him, as the world champion vowed to do after qualifying in a statement of loyalty to his mentor.
Now everything is fluid again, with Marko saying ahead of the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix: ‘The conversation with Mintzalff was a very good one. I think everything is cleared.’
The couple first met in 2009 in Monaco and announced their engagement five years later
