Christian Horner has written in his memoir that Geri Halliwell patted King Charles on the backside at a 1997 Prince's Trust gala, breaking royal protocol.
Christian Horner, former Red Bull Formula One team principal, has written in his memoir Drive that his wife Geri Halliwell patted King Charles on the backside at a Prince's Trust gala in 1997. Horner described the action as breaking royal protocol.
Halliwell has previously maintained she patted the royal rather than pinched him, admitting in a 2016 interview with The Times that the encounter violated protocol. In his book, Horner wrote that the action was characteristic of Halliwell, who he said had hugged Nelson Mandela earlier that year.
Horner and Halliwell married in 2015 and have a son together. Horner also used the book to detail their early relationship, noting they first met at the Monaco Grand Prix in 2009 but did not go on their first date until 2014. He wrote that Halliwell had natural warmth and treated everyone the same, whether they were royalty or a road sweeper.
