Victoria Beckham confirms during chat show appearance that she’s going to upcoming royal wedding

Victoria Beckham has confirmed she will be attending the Royal wedding next month.

The 43-year-old fashion designer was asked whether she had secured a coveted invite to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s upcoming nuptials during an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden on Thursday night. 

‘I, uh, I, I don’t know…,’ Victoria stammered as James, 39, and fellow guest Shaquille O’Neal, 46, looked on.

‘She’s totally going,’ James teased her while mimicking her response as Shaq nodded in agreement.

‘Yes. England is so excited. It is so great, isn’t it? They look so happy,’ Victoria said, confirming she and husband David had received an invitation.

James also asked the former Spice Girls singer if she was designing Markle’s dress for her big day, set for May 19 at St George’s Chapel in the grounds of Windsor Castle.

‘Sadly, I’m not, but I’m sure she’ll look incredible,’ Victoria said confirming earlier reports that she wasn’t the wedding dress designer.

Community heroes have been named among Harry and Meghan’s wedding guests as it emerged US president Donald Trump and predecessor Barack Obama have not been invited.

The American leader and other politicians, both home and abroad, are missing from the guest list as the prince and his bride-to-be have chosen friends, colleagues and those they already know rather than prime ministers and presidents. 

A Kensington Palace spokesman said: ‘It has been decided that an official list of political leaders – both UK and international – is not required for Prince Harry and Ms Markle’s wedding.

‘Her Majesty’s Government was consulted on this decision, which was taken by the Royal Household.’

Members of the public picked to share in the couple’s day, by watching the spectacle from the grounds of Windsor Castle, were revealed earlier and include a 12-year-old schoolgirl caught up in the Manchester Arena bombing.  

The informality of Harry and Meghan’s 600-strong guest list also reflects the smaller size of their wedding venue, compared to Westminster Abbey which staged the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s royal nuptials in 2011.

The prince is also not expected to become King, unlike older brother William, who invited a large number of politicians, heads of state and other officials to his wedding.
