Also present were his unknown godparents, their spouses (*waits a few days for media to figure out who got the honor, lol.*) and his maternal grandmother, Doria Ragland, and his paternal great aunts, The Lady Jane Fellowes, Baroness Fellowes and The Lady Sarah McCorquodale. If I had to GUESS the godparents....it could be totally in left field, like his name was. However, I would say at least one of Diana's relatives is involved, possibly one of Camilla's children or children-in-law, Jessica Mulroney,  Benita Litt and/or Darren Litt (Meghan is their children's godmother and their daughters were in the Sussex wedding), Tiggy Pettifer (Harry's nanny in the 1990s, he is also a godfather to her son Fred) and Charlie Van Straubenzee are amongst the godparents.
