Sophie Carter, James Meade, Adam Middleton, the Honorary Laura Fellowes, and Thomas van Straubenzee have all been listed as Charlotte’s official godparents by her parents Kate Middleton and Prince William. 

The list doesn’t include any members of the royal family and only has five godparents as opposed to her brother Prince George‘s seven.
