Counting down the days until the arrival of their third child in April, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have already chosen their godparents.

And a trusted palace source has told Woman’s Day that Prince Harry’s fiance Meghan Markle was their top pick!

“They’ve already formed a strong sisterly bond.”

Meghan is already a godmother, and a natural with little ones.

In fact, our palace source spilled that Kate, 36, was adamant she wants her future sister-in-law to play the important role of godmother.

“They’ve already formed a strong sisterly bond, and it’s Kate’s way of showing how close they’ve become,” they remarked.

Prince William and Duchess Catherine take the responsibility of picking godparents very seriously – after all they’re entrusting their little ones into their care.

And who could forget sweet Charlotte’s christening in 2015.

Prince George has seven godparents.

They are Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, William van Cutsem, Julia Samuel, Emilia Jardine-Paterson, Zara Tindall, Earl Grosvenor and Oliver Baker.

Meanwhile Charlotte has five godparents: Sophie Carter, Laura Fellowes, Adam Middleton, James Meade and Thomas van Straubenzee.

This latest touching gesture comes off the back of reports Meghan and Kate share a “very special friendship.”

We can’t wait to see baby number three join the Cambridges.
