Why Duchess Kate and Prince William Won’t Be Godparents to Duchess Meghan and Prince Harry’s Baby (Exclusive)

Now that Duchess Meghan is in the home stretch of her pregnancy, she and husband Prince Harry are busy preparing. The couple are finishing up construction at their future family home, Frogmore Cottage, have met with a doula, and have multiple hospital contingencies in place for when the retired actress gives birth in late April or early May. But one thing that still remains on the to-do list for the Duke of Sussex, 34, and the former Suits star, 37, is naming their future child’s godparents.
