Prince Harry and Meghan Markle only have a few short months until they welcome their first child into the world. Before they do so, they have to decide on who will be the lucky Godparents to the newest royal baby. Scroll through to find out who we think could make the cut!
With babies comes many decisions, and choosing Godparents is one of the most important tasks in the British royal family. While it's unclear whether or not Meghan, 37, and Harry, 34, have chosen the pair yet, we have a good idea on who they may be!
One of the most obvious choses may be Harry's brother Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton but it's quite unlikely. Traditionally, the royal family steers clear of choosing Godparents within the family since aunts and uncles already play an important role in the child's life.
"The likelihood is that Harry and Meghan will choose godparents who reflect both his or her British and American roots and are non-royal,” royal expert, Richard Fitzwilliams, told Express.
Another possible contender is one of Meghan's closest friends, Jessica Mulroney. The two are reportedly very close as the stylist's three children, were all key parts of Meghan and Harry's wedding in May 2018.
Harry's long-time best friend, Charlie van Straubenzee could also be a likely option for the job. Harry was the English businessman's best man at his wedding to Daisy Jenks in August 2018 and the friends grew up together.
George Clooney and Amal Clooney, who was one of the select fifteen women to attend the Duchess' stateside baby shower in NYC on February 19, are very close with the royal couple and could be a nice choice as Godparents.
Harry's cousin Princess Eugenie is very close with the Duke of Sussex and could be a good fit for the job.
While Priyanka Chopra and Meghan were reportedly very close at one point, the royal couple did not attend the Quantico actress and her husband Nick Jonas' India wedding in December 2018 and Priyanka, 36, was not present at Meghan's baby shower in Manhattan.
A more likely contender could be Serena Williams, who helped plan the Suits alum's baby shower and has been giving Meghan baby advice during her pregnancy. As OK! readers know, Serena, 37, has her own little one, Olympia, 1, with husband Alexis Ohanian.
