Why Mel B was allowed to get married at King Charles, Diana's wedding venue

Mel B tied the knot with celebrity hairdresser Rory McPhee last weekend at the historic St. Paul's Cathedral, an exclusive location in London where King Charles and Princess Diana wed.

The big question arises: how did the Spice Girls alum manage to secure her wedding venue there?

The exclusive OBE Chapel, also known as St. Paul’s Cathedral, permits only a select few to organise their wedding ceremonies there.

It is only available to those with MBEs to use as a wedding venue.

As for Mel, she was able to organise her ceremony thanks to receiving an MBE in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women.

The Spice Girls star became a Women's Aid patron in 2018 when she addressed her own experience with domestic abuse.

Mel’s MBE also grants her permission to baptise her three children — Phoenix, 26, Angel, 18, and Madison, 13 — in the church, accessed via the side of St. Paul's.

Mel appeared, blushing in a gorgeous Josephine Scott pearl-adorned white gown as she arrived at the venue.

After becoming Mrs. McPhee, the newlywed couple walked out of the cathedral with Mel beaming, and they shared a kiss.

Last weekend's ceremony marked Mel’s third marriage.

Previously, the singer was married to Jimmy Gulzar from 1998 to 2000 and Stephen Belafonte from 2007 to 2017.
