William and Kate have chosen just one member of the royal family and six close pals to be godparents to Prince George.
Zara Tindall is one of seven people who will become the tot’s godparents at this afternoon’s ceremony at St James’s Palace.
Included in the list of names hand-picked by the Duke and Duchess is a close friend of William’s mum Princess Diana, Julia Samuel.
Oliver Baker, who attended St Andrew’s University with the couple is also on the list, along with Kate’s Marlborough College chum Emilia Jardine-Paterson.
Earl Grosvenor, son of the Duke of Westminster, and William’s childhood friend William van Cutsem have also been asked.
Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, former private secretary to the Duke and Duchess and Prince Harry from 2005 to 2012 and current part-time principal private secretary, is the final godparent.
They will step forward at the service in front of their spouses, including Zara’s rugby player hubby Mike Tindall, and just a select few members of the royal family.
William’s aunts, uncles and cousins, apart from Zara, have been left off the guest list.
