The royal family is counting days to the grand day of welcoming the newest royal child baby Sussex’, with this in mind Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are in the verge of looking of godparents for the new born.
The couple have a whole gang of close friends, celebrity pals and sporting stars to pick from, but there are two people who probably won’t be on the list – the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge .
Kate and William didn’t ask Harry to be Godfather to George, Charlotte or Louis, so there’s a good chance he might follow the same logic.
The couple picked some of their closest friends for the important roles, rather than immediate family.
All three kids do have a family member as a Godparent, but they are most distant. Zara Tindall, for example, is Prince George’s Godmother.
Kate used the same approach for her side of the family, picking her cousin Lucy Middleton to be Godmother to Prince Louis rather than sister Pippa or brother James.
The Mirror’s royal editor Russell Myers said: “It’s more than likely we won’t see William and Kate being made godparents to Baby Sussex.
“However, their absence shouldn’t be seen as a snub, rather it actually makes a lot of sense.
“Both the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, as uncle and aunt, will undoubtedly already a big part of the child’s life.
“I would say it’s a fair bet that Harry and Meghan will choose five or six close friends, perhaps including close cousins Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie and Zara Tindall.
“Harry is particularly close to all three of them and was even made godfather to Zara’s youngest daughter Lena.
“Also, with Meghan recently being revealed as having a closeness to God, we can predict she will want to choose people with a strong religious background for the job.”
But obviously we won’t know for sure until the couple officially announce who they have picked after the birth of the new royal baby girl or boy.
