Geri teamed her smart jacket with a pair of wide leg white trousers and elevated her height with some towering platform heels.
She topped off her look by styling her hair in soft curls and carried a cross body Gucci hand bag.
After joining the society in 2020, Geri said in a statement via social media: ‘I am delighted to have become an inaugural Ambassador of the Royal Commonwealth Society.
‘Throughout my life, I have been a big believer in the power of coming together and breaking down barriers.’
The award-winning songwriter has been heavily involved in humanitarian work throughout her career, using her platform to shed light and raise awareness on issues such as breast cancer and poor mental health.
Ginger Spice joined King Charles, Prince William, the Queen Consort and the Princess of Wales for the annual service.
The new Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh – Edward and Sophie – and Princess Anne were also in attendance.
The theme for this year’s Commonwealth Day is ‘forging a sustainable and peaceful common future’, something that the King himself highlighted in words that echoed his campaigning on the issue as Prince of Wales.

Inside, King Charles took to the Great Pulpit where he paid tribute to Queen Elizabeth’s pride in the ‘family of nations’, describing it as a force for good in areas such as climate change and biodiversity loss, as well as economic co-operation and health.
The late Queen did not deliver her message in person. Instead it was printed in the service programme.
It is understood that the new monarch – who also succeeded his mother as head of the Commonwealth – was keen to personally mark her passing, as well as his own inaugural address.
The King told the 2,000-strong congregation: ‘Commonwealth Day was an occasion of particular pride for my beloved mother, the late Queen – a treasured opportunity to celebrate our Commonwealth family, to whose service she dedicated her long and remarkable life.

‘In succeeding Her Majesty as Head of the Commonwealth, I draw great strength from her example, together with all that I have learnt from the extraordinary people I have met, throughout the Commonwealth, over so many years.
‘The Commonwealth has been a constant in my own life, and yet its diversity continues to amaze and inspire me. Its near-boundless potential as a force for good in the world demands our highest ambition; its sheer scale challenges us to unite and be bold.’
The Commonwealth is a global network of countries formed in the dying days of the British Empire but has proved to be so enduring that new members with no empirical ties have joined.
The member states have shared economic, environmental, social and democratic goals and boasts a combined population of 2.4billion people, almost a third of the world population, of which more than 60 per cent are under 30 years old.
