With weeks to go until the Duchess of Sussex’s due date, a host of her celebrity pals are on the list of potential royal godparents, including Indian actress Priyanka, George and Amal Clooney and tennis star Serena Williams. Bookies Ladbrokes makes it 3/1 that Priyanka will be the royal baby’s godmother. Meghan’s best friend and stylish Jessica Mulroney is the favourite to be chosen at 4/6.

Ladbrokes spokesman Alex Apati said: “Famous faces are queuing up in the royal baby godparent betting but as things stand it’s Jessica Mulroney who’s seemingly a shoo-in for the honour.”

Bookmaker Coral’s odds on Priyanka being the royal tot’s godmother are at 5/1.

They also have Meghan’s former Suits co-star Abigail Spencer at 3/1, Oprah Winfrey at 12/1, Soho House director Markus Anderson at 16/1 and former US president Barack Obama is even in with a chance at 33/1.

Princess Eugenie is 5/1, Prince William is 6/1 and Prince Harry’s childhood pal Tom Inskip – who he is rumoured to have cooled his friendship with – is 4/1.

Coral’s Harry Aitkenhead said: “We think that Jessica Mulroney is almost guaranteed to be a godmother to the new baby, and she tops our betting at 1/2.

“The latest addition to the royal family is likely to have a few godparents and there is plenty of other contenders, with Priyanka Chropra right in the mix at 5/1 along with Princess Eugenie.”

Jessica is once again the favourite with Betfair, with her and husband Ben Mulroney at 2/1.

They have William and Kate at 4/1, while Priyanka is 25/1.

Betfair spokesperson Sam Rosbottom said: “Jessica Mulroney and her husband Ben have been good friends with Meghan for a number of years, their own children even played a part in Prince Harry and Meghan’s wedding, making them the favourites with Betfair to be godparents at 2/1.

“Another good friend of the mother-to-be is Amal Clooney who, along with her Hollywood superstar husband George is 6/1 to play an important role at the christening.

“They say family comes first and the other royal couple, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are second favourites at 4/1.

“Tennis champion and organiser of the baby shower in New York, Serena Williams has an outside chance of being godmother at 20/1, while former Miss World Priyanka Chopra is 25/1.”

Meghan is due to give birth to her and Harry’s first child in April or early May.
