Photos from the 1997 Brit Awards and the 2012 London Olympics closing ceremony feature on the top ten stamps, according to The Guardian, along with the requisite “profile” of King Charles III.
Another sheet features portraits of band members Geri Horner-Halliwell (Ginger Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Melanie Brown (Scary Spice), Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice) and Victoria Beckham-Adams (Posh Spice).

The Spice Girls were formed in 1994 by Bob and Chris Herbert, who sought to create an all-girl band that would compete with the dominant boy groups on the pop charts. They were looking for singers who were also supposed to be dancers for an advertisement.

In July 1995, the members of the group signed a contract with Virgin Records. A year later, they released Wannabe, a worldwide hit that became the best-selling debut single by an all-female group and topped the charts in 37 countries.
Sixth group on British stamps
The group has sold more than 100 million records worldwide. Their first album ‘Spice’ is one of the best selling albums of any female group.
Unofficially disbanded around 2001, but reunited for tours in 2007 and 2019. From time to time there is speculation about further appearances.
The Spice Girls are the sixth musical group to be included in a stamp-worthy group by the British Royal Mail. The first were the Beatles in 2007, then Pink Floyd in 2016, Queen in 2020, the Rolling Stones in 2022 and Iron Maiden in 2023.
The Spice Girls stamps go on sale on January 11 and are available in a variety of collector’s editions.
