Who are Princess Charlotte's godparents? Including Prince William's childhood friends and Princess K
Princess Charlotte was christened in Norfolk in 2015
Prince George could have a starring role at his godfather Hugh Grosvenor, 7th Duke of Westminster's wedding in June.
It wouldn't be the first time the Wales children have been involved in bridal parties for their godparents, as Prince George and Princess Charlotte were page boy and flower girl at Sophie Carter's nuptials in 2018.
Former teacher Sophie is one of the Princess of Wales's closest friends and is part of the Norfolk set who reside near to Prince William and Kate's country abode, Anmer Hall.
Sophie, who has since developed an educational phonics app, Hip Hop Hen, has been pictured with Kate at Wimbledon and at church in Sandringham.
Before marrying Robert Snuggs in 2018, Sophie used to date one of William's best friends, Thomas van Straubenzee. Her brother, Robert, also married another one of Kate's school friends, Hannah Gillingham – who is godmother to Prince Louis.
