Meet Prince George’s godparents

The future King of England Prince George has been christened in London today with his seven godparents by his side.

His parent’s Prince William and Duchess Catherine chose just one royal for the role, William’s cousin Zara Phillips.

The other six were the pair’s school and university friends including Oliver Baker, who the pair attended St. Andrew’s University with, Emilia Jardine-Paterson, who went to school with Catherine, and William’s childhood friend William van Cutsem.

The other godparents had more of a royal relation and included the couple’s former private secretary Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Princess Diana’s good friend Julia Samuel and Earl Grosvenor the son of the Duke of Westminster.
