At first glance you might think these photos had been taken on the same day.
However, they were actually six years apart as Geri Halliwell-Horner created a near identical photo during a visit to Scotland.
The 52-year-old singer – better known as Ginger Spice during her time in The Spice Girls – posted a photo taken at Edinburgh Castle ahead of a book signing in the city.
In the photo, she could be seen posing next to a bagpiper, decked out in a kilt at the castle.
The moment came ahead of a book signing in Edinburgh and, later in the day, St Andrews, in Fife, to promote her latest book Rosie Frost: Ice on Fire.
The singer had posted a video on social media ahead of her visit to Scotland on Saturday.
Alongside it, she wrote: ‘I can’t wait to see you all in Edinburgh for my last stop on this amazing book tour for Rosie Frost Ice on Fire.
‘Thank you to everyone’s love and support on the book and look forward to seeing you at Topping St Andrews.’
Sharing the latest photo at the castle, she wrote: ‘When in Scotland…’.
In a video, filmed outside the castle and posted on social media, Halliwell-Horner stood next to the kilt-clad piper, leaning on his shoulder.
Addressing the camera, she said: ‘Here we are in my favourite place – Edinburgh, Scotland, on the final day of the Rosie Frost tour.
As she continued, she said the book stood for ‘courage, power and’ before the kilt-clad man ended the sentence, shouting: ‘Freedom.’
The video then continues with the bagpiper explaining to the singer that he is from Glasgow, adding: ‘But everyone thinks I’m English.’
She could also be seen introducing the piper at her book signing, referring to him as ‘James 1st’ in a nod to King James, the son of Mary, Queen of Scots.
During the event, Halliwell-Horner said: ‘Scotland has such a special place in my heart.
‘Every time I’ve come here the reception has been just charged and amazing. It fills me with energy.
‘I met a chap earlier today and I thought “He’s wonderful” and so, hey, you have James 1st, King James 1st, came after Queen Elizabeth 1st, which is quite apt and I thought “Well, let’s celebrate that.’
She then turns to the interviewer on stage, asking: ‘Shall we let him in? Let’s let him in. His name is James.’
The musician then came in playing Scotland the Brave.
Horner captioned the video, writing: ‘Just a regular day in Scotland with our very own James 1st.’
Halliwell-Horner posed for an unmistakably similar photo outside Edinburgh Castle in 2019 ahead of the Spice Girls gig in the Scottish Capital that year.
As with the latest photo, she wore a tartan skirt in muted tones along with a white, turtleneck top.
She had captioned the 2019 photo writing the world Edinburgh along with a loveheart emoji.
The visit to Scotland comes after Halliwell-Horner left This Morning viewers baffled when she showed off not one, but three different accents during an appearance to promote her new book.
The new book – which retails from £7.99 – is the second in a trilogy that began with the 2023 bestseller Rosie Frost And The Falcon Queen.
Revealing what the book is about, she told hosts Dermot O’Leary and Alison Hammond: ‘Rosie Frost, she is set in present day, she’s orphaned, but this is un-airbrushed orphan grieving and she’s sent to an island.
‘The island is a bit like Jurassic Park but for endangered animals at a school built by Queen Elizabeth I.
‘She’s sent there, they are all descendants of Tudors. So if you like history it’s all in there.
‘It’s then a page-turning action adventure, and she has to find the courage to face up to bullies.
‘It’s the second book and she finds out her mother was murdered and wants revenge. And there’s a little bit of love in there as well.’
When asked if she would ever want to play the characters she has written, the noughties star replied: ‘I thought I would want to play a teacher if it became a film. I do the accents for the audio book.
‘You haven’t got a Brummy in there, but I do some accents.’
‘What accents do you do?’ Alison asked, before Halliwell-Horner said: ‘I had an acting accent coach there.’
She then switched into a Southern American accent as she described one of the characters. ‘She’s like ‘oh my God Alison, you got to be out of your mind’.’
She then put on an Irish accent as she said: ‘Then we got a Dermot, he’s kind of just Dermot, ‘what are you talking about?’’
Finally, the singer changed into a French accent. ‘Then we have Madame Lure, ‘you’re just so elegant. I’m so proud of you’,’ she said.
She also recently revealed that the film adaptation of her first Rosie Frost book could be on-screen by 2027 – confirming that the ‘biggest producer in Hollywood’ has the rights to the series.
She said: ‘We’re looking at the writer now to make the scripts…I get to help choose Rosie, and they’re including me and they are just amazing people.’
