The new royal aunt figures down the list at 14/1 odds, far behind staffers and close friends ofPrince WilliamandKate Middleton.
On Wednesday, the couple announced theJuly 9 date for the christening. Louis’ godparents will be announced that day.
Prince Harry, 33, isnot a godparentto either of his brother’s two older children — 4-year-old Prince George and 3-year-old Princess Charlotte. It’s thought that William and Katewanted to honor some of their closest friends,rather than choosing someone who was already a proud uncle for the two royals.
