Harry and Pippa tipped to be godparents to royal baby
Royal babies usually have five or six godparents, although the Prince of Wales had eight.
Contenders for the role for Prince George are expected to include the baby's uncles, Prince Harry and James Middleton, and aunt Pippa Middleton.
Close friends of the couple, such as William's old school friend Thomas van Straubenzee or one of the van Cutsem brothers, are also tipped to be in the running.
Godparents often also have close historic ties to the royal family.
