Mel C and Emma Bunton are expected to be among the stars joining the Prince of Wales at his Prince’s Trust awards.
The Spice Girls stars will join former footballer Thierry Henry and actresses Olivia Colman and Helen McCrory at the London Palladium on Tuesday to celebrate the achievements of young people supported by the Trust.
Those recognised have overcome issues such as abuse, drug addiction, homelessness and depression and have gone on to have successful lives.

Award categories include Young Achiever, Rising Star and Community Impact and the ceremony will see the Trust present the inaugural Mentor of the Year Award.
The Spice Girls famously met Charles – with Mel B and the then Geri Halliwell giving him kisses – during the Prince’s Trust’s 21st anniversary concert at Manchester Opera House in 1997.
The girl group has recently reunited and Mel B has confirmed that all five Spice Girls have been invited to the the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
Her revelation came during an appearance on US talk show The Real, and Mel B also sparked speculation that the band may perform at the royal wedding in May.
The Prince’s Trust gives disadvantaged young people the skills and confidence to find a job.
The charity has helped 870,000 young people since 1976 and supports over 100 more each day. Three in four of these young people move into work, training or education.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
