Who Will Be Baby Sussex's Godparents? Here's What We Know

Archie's godparents: Will Serena Williams be godmother to Meghan Markle

Alright, folks, let's talk about the royal baby buzz! Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are expecting their bundle of joy, and everyone's wondering who's going to step up as godparents. Now, you might think Prince William and Kate Middleton would be the obvious choice, but let's pump the brakes on that assumption. Turns out, it's probably not going to be them.

Here's the deal: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge didn't name Harry and Meghan as godparents for their own kids, so it seems like Harry and Meghan are likely to return the favor. Back when Prince George was baptized, royal correspondent Robert Jobson dropped some knowledge. He said that Harry didn’t need to be a godfather to William’s son because he’s already going to play a big role in George's life anyway. So, who’s going to step into the godparent spotlight for baby Sussex? Let’s dive in!

Now, when whispers started floating around that George and Amal Clooney might be the ones to take on the role, royal fans got all excited. But hold on—George Clooney himself shot down those rumors faster than you can say "royal wedding." The 57-year-old Oscar winner quipped, "Oh yes, I’ll be godfather of the royals apparently. No! I’m a father of twins, I have enough s–t to deal with—literally!"

    So, who else is in the running? Well, Meghan’s bestie Serena Williams definitely deserves a mention. The tennis superstar, who’s 37 years young, was front and center at Meghan’s baby shower in New York City. Serena reportedly splashed out close to $200,000 to make the event as glamorous and unforgettable as possible. If that's not a sign of a true friend, I don’t know what is!

    Serena recently opened up to The Project, saying, "We have known each other for a long time." When she attended Meghan’s wedding to Harry back in May 2018, she had nothing but glowing words. "I felt like we were literally watching history," she said at the time. "In a few years, when I look back at that moment, it’s just gonna be so historic. It’s gonna be something people never forget. The whole service was really wonderful, and most of all, I just wanted to see my friend be happy, and I think that’s what happened."
