Meet Royal Baby's 7 God Parents

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have chosen old friends rather than other royals and dignitaries to be godparents to three-month-old Prince George, it was announced today.
Prince William's cousin Zara Tindall is the only member of the royal family to be godparent, while Kate's old schoolfriend Emilia Jardine-Paterson and family friend William van Cutsem have both been asked to take on the role.
The other godparents are the couple's university friend Oliver Baker, William and Harry's Private Secretary Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, the Duke of Westminster's son Hugh Grosvenor, and Julia Samuel, an old friend of Princess Diana's.

Godparents: William's cousin Zara Tindall and Kate's schoolfriend Emilia Jardine-Paterson have been asked

Married to rugby player Mike Tindall, with whom she is expecting their first baby early next year, Zara,32, is William's first cousin and the only member of the royal family to be asked to be godparent.
A down-to-earth event rider who enjoys a drink and is happiest in a pair of scruffy jodhpurs and a fleece, gregarious Zara will help bring a sense of normality into the life of the future King. She won a team silver eventing medal at London's 2012 Olympics.Zara, who is said to be a particular favourite of her grandmother, the Queen, married Mr Tindall not at Westminster Abby but at Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh in 2011. She pledged to honour, not obey, and kept her maiden name, Phillips, for work.
