The Royal Mail worked with the group to choose the images that include the opening ceremony of the 2012 Olympic Games; as well as Spice Girls performing at the Brit Awards in 1997 and on tour in 1998.
Spice Girls are the sixth group to be honored with their own stamps, joining the likes of The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Rolling Stones and Iron Maiden.
The girl group reunited for a world tour in 2007 that’s also featured on the stamps, and then again in 2019 for a second reunion tour across the U.K. and Ireland, which Beckham skipped due to her fashion business commitments.
Victoria and David Beckham’s various companies had a prosperous year, according to accounts filed in December on Companies House, the British government’s business register.
As reported earlier this year, Victoria’s fashion and beauty brand turned a modest profit at EBITDA [earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization] level for the first time. David’s main holding company, David Beckham Ventures Ltd. (DBVL), posted a 30 percent uptick in profit to 25.5 million pounds.
