Heir to the Throne Expected to Take on New Godfather Role
Catherine's husband, Prince William, has yet to publicly congratulate the Duke of Westminster following the announcement that Hugh Grosvenor and his wife, Olivia Henson, are expecting their first child this summer.
The Prince of Wales is reportedly set to become the baby's godfather, further strengthening the close bond he shares with Hugh. The future King played a key role as an usher at Hugh’s wedding in Cheshire last year, while Hugh already serves as a godfather to William and Catherine’s eldest son, as well as to Harry’s son, Prince Archie.
Despite his silence on the news, sources suggest William will eagerly accept the role. “There’s no doubt that William will welcome his new role as godfather to his friend’s child,” an insider revealed.
The connection between the royal family and the Grosvenors spans generations. King Charles III is Hugh’s godfather, while Hugh’s mother, Natalia, is one of William’s. However, William has yet to make a public statement regarding his friend’s joyous news.
