Here’s why Meghan Markle won’t be godmother to Prince Louis

The royal bub is being christened this week.

The odds are not in favour of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry becoming godparents in the upcoming christening of two-month-old Prince Louis.

The new royal aunt figures down the list at 14/1 odds, far behind staffers and close friends of Prince William and Kate Middleton.

The royal couple this week announced the July 9 date for the christening. Louis’ godparents will be announced that day.

Prince Harry, 33, is not a godparent to either of his brother’s two older children — 4-year-old Prince George and 3-year-old Princess Charlotte

Jessica Bridge, of British bookmakers Ladbrokes, said in a statement, “As with George and Charlotte, [William and Kate] chose close and trusted friends and aides, rather than immediate family members, and the odds suggest that will be the same with little Prince Louis.”
