Why?
People tend to instantly think that there might be a feud between the four royals. No evidence of this exist however, as the brothers, as well as the sisters-in-law, are in good relations. The royals do not usually take each other as godparents, because they already share important family bonds. This is why Harry and his new wife are not the godparents to any of their children. Kate’s brother James and sister Pippa were also not asked.
Prince George’s godparents
Prince George, the oldest son of the couple, has a total of seven godparents. They are Hugh Grosvenor (whose mother is William’s godparent), William van Cutsem, Oliver Baker, Emilia Jardine-Paterson, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Julia Samuel, and Zara Tindall, who is the cousin of William and Harry.
Princess Charlotte’s godparents
Princess Charlotte has five godparents. Princess Diana’s niece and William’s cousin, Laura Fellowes is one. The Duchess of Cambridge’s cousin, Adam Middleton is another. Then there are Prince William’s close childhood friends Thomas van Straubenzee and James Meade, and last but not least Kate’s good friend Sophie Carter.
Prince Louis’ godparents
Prince Louis, the youngest child, has six. Kate’s cousin Lucy Middleton is one, and duke and duchess’ close friends Nicholas van Cutsem, Guy Pelly, Harry Aubrey-Fletcher, Lady Laura Meade, and Mrs. Robert Carter are the rest.
Who might be the godparents then?
In the end, who will have the honor to be the first godparents of the newest royal baby? The media reports that none other than George Clooney and his wife Amal will be asked. One source told Daily Mail that the pair are “all but confirmed” to be the godparents.
Other candidates could be Harry’s cousin Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank, or Meghan’s best friend Jessica Mulroney.
