Former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell-Horner beamed with pride as she supported her husband Christian at a Buckingham Palace investiture ceremony on Wednesday.
The pair were photographed outside the royal palace, with Christian clutching his award after being appointed as a Commander of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) in the 2024 New Year Honours list for his services to motorsport.

The author slipped on a pair of pointed nude heels and spruced up her look with a chunky satin headband complete with a netted veil and delicate flowers.
She wore her golden red tresses in glamorous waves and added a slick of glossy pink lipstick and a pair of pearl stud earrings. Christian, 51, meanwhile, looked dapper in a smart tailcoat, a dove grey waistcoat and a patterned navy tie.

He kicked off his career as a racing driver before becoming a race winner in the 1992 British Formula Renault Championship. After retiring from competitive driving aged 25, he moved across to team management.
Geri frequently supports Christian from the sidelines. Back in October, the author was all smiles as she cheered on her husband at the US Grand Prix.

Geri is renowned for rocking head-to-toe white. During an interview with The Sunday Times Style magazine, she spoke about her choice to wear one single shade, explaining how it’s the same as a CEO wearing a suit every day.

The couple have been together since February 2014. They announced their engagement nine months later and walked down the aisle on 15 May 2015.

While the couple are notoriously private about their relationship, the pair have occasionally shared insights into their marriage and love story.
During a chat with The Telegraph in March 2023, Christian revealed how they crossed paths several times before they started dating in 2015.

“I remember [McLaren boss] Ron Dennis was standing next to me and Eddie Jordan was there as well. Anyway, she gave Ron a kiss on the cheek, and she gave Eddie a kiss on the cheek. So I thought, ‘OK, I’m on for a kiss on the cheek here!’ And I went to give her one and she shoved her hand out at me!”
