According to the Mail's Richard Eden, Geri chose not to host the lavish star-studded event at the home she shares with her husband Christian Horner.
Guests who had been slated to attend included her Spice Girls bandmates Victoria Beckham and Emma Bunton. Geri was a big fan of the Queen and took to Instagram to pay tribute in the wake of the late monarch's death.
Alongside a photo of the smiling royal, she wrote: "My thoughts and sympathies go to the Royal Family for the loss of their Mother, Grandmother, Aunt. Thank you to Her Majesty for her resolute never-ending service. She is, and always will be the epitome of dignity and elegance."

Geri also shared her love for the Queen earlier this year when she appeared in a video during the Party at the Palace in honour of the Platinum Jubilee.
She said: "Our Queen, kind... loving... strong... serving our country, the Commonwealth, uniting us all together. Always putting others before yourself, you're truly inspirational, inside and out, we thank you... we love you."
