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.”
