Ecco i nomi dei padrini e delle madrine del principe George in occasione del suo battesimo.

• Zara Tindall (née Phillips), 32, William's cousin and Olympic equestrian, is the only royal on the list. She has been close to William their entire lives and is expecting her own first child with rugby player husband Mike Tindall in the new year. 

• Oliver Baker, a college friend of the couple. He is married to another St. Andrews University alumni, Melissa. 

• Emilia Jardine-Paterson (née D'Erlanger), who was at Marlborough College school with Kate and is a longtime friend of William's. 

• Earl "Hugh" Grosvenor, the son one of William's own godparents, the Duchess of Westminster. Only 22, he is the heir to the Duke of Westminster, one of Britain's richest men. 

• Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, 53, who as private secretary to the couple and Prince Harry from 2005-2012, helped plan their public lives. He is now serving them part-time as Principal Private Secretary and Equerry. The bonds with him and his family were underscored at the couple's 2011 wedding, when they chose his son Billy to be a page. 

• Julia Samuel. She was a close friend of Diana, the Princess of Wales, and heads up a charity of which William is patron, Child Bereavement U.K. William and Kate visited the charity's headquarters for a royal engagement earlier this year. 

• William van Cutsem is the youngest of the four van Cutsem brothers. The van Cutsems, who used to live in Anmer Hall, Norfolk, where William and Kate will have their country home, provided much-needed family support to William and Harry after their mother died in 1997. Van Cutsem's niece, Grace, was a bridesmaid at the royal wedding.
