The series will follow the Spice Girl on different adventures and feature music she has written.

The first episode, entitled Queen Speaks, will be a tribute to the Tudor Queen and will see Horner in full costume at Ashridge House, where Elizabeth lived as a princess until she was arrested by her sister Queen Mary in 1554.
The episode was shot in collaboration with Bafta-winning cinematographer Laurie Rose, who has worked on Peaky Blinders and Riviera.

Horner, who is a history enthusiast, will discuss Elizabeth’s 45-year rule and her interest in poetry and the work of William Shakespeare.
Ben McOwen Wilson, managing director of YouTube UK, said: “Geri is an icon of British female creative achievement and we are so proud that Rainbow Woman is launching on YouTube.

“Suitably, the series launch is a grand tribute to one of Britain’s most iconic Girl Power figures, Queen Elizabeth I.
“Rainbow Woman is a great example of diverse Britain and the incredible creative content that we love.”

In pictures that echo the so-called “rainbow portrait” of Elizabeth, Horner can be seen in an auburn wig and a lavish red gown will a full skirt, as well as heavy pearl jewellery.
She can also seen posing with a black horse and carriage.
The series will premiere at 12pm on Sunday on YouTube, with a new episode every Sunday.
