Who Are Prince George and Princess Charlotte's Godparents?

Meet All 12 of Prince George and Princess Charlotte's Godparents

Prince George was christened at the Chapel Royal in St. James's Palace back in October 2013, and two years later, Princess Charlotte was baptized at the Church of St. Mary Magdalene on Queen Elizabeth II's Sandringham Estate. While Kensington Palace has released several photos from both events, not much is known about the royal children's godparents. For starters, George has seven godparents, among them Emilia Jardine-Paterson, one of the people in Kate Middleton's top-secret squad, while Charlotte only has five. Still, there is much more to know about the people Prince William and Kate have entrusted with their children.
