Who Will Be Meghan Markle And Prince Harry's Royal Baby's Godparents?

Let’s clear something up right away: Prince William isn’t going to be the godfather to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's royal baby. As the world eagerly waits for the arrival of this adorable little addition to the Sussex family, fans are buzzing about who exactly will take on the role of godparents. According to royal tradition, it’s highly unlikely that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will step into these roles. But don’t worry—Uncle William and Aunt Kate will still play a big part in the baby’s life!

Why Prince William Won't Be the Godfather

Here’s the deal: The Duke of Sussex, 34, isn’t a godfather to any of Prince William’s, 36, children. So, the chances of William reciprocating and becoming the godfather for baby Sussex are pretty slim. It’s all about balance in the royal family, and traditions like this are deeply respected. But here’s the thing—just because William isn’t the godfather doesn’t mean he won’t be an incredible uncle. He’s already shown how hands-on he is with his own nieces and nephews, and there’s no doubt he’ll bring that same love and attention to Harry and Meghan's little one.

A Look Back at Prince George's Christening

Back in October 2013, when Prince George was being christened, royal correspondent Robert Jobson explained that Prince Harry didn’t need to be a godfather to baby George because he would naturally have a significant role in the little one’s life anyway. The same logic applies here—Uncle William will undoubtedly be a loving and present figure in baby Sussex’s life, even without the official title.

Potential Godparents for Baby Sussex

With William and Kate out of the running, Meghan has the freedom to choose someone closer to her heart to take on the role. The former actress, 37, has a tight-knit group of friends who could easily step into the role of godparent. One name that keeps popping up is Jessica Mulroney, Meghan’s BFF. After throwing her a $200,000 baby shower in New York City—with a little help from Serena Williams—Jessica might just be the front-runner for the title of godmother.
