Britain’s Duchess of Cambridge has become a godmother.
The 32-year-old royal has taken motherhood in her stride since giving birth to her son Prince George seven months ago, and now she’s been chosen by a close friend to be a godparent to their child.
The brunette beauty was given the official title on Sunday (16.02.14) when she attended the baptism service with her husband Prince William and their son George at the St Barnabas Church in Mayland, Chelmsford, in Essex, South East England.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, reverend Ken Dunstan said: "I think my usual congregation were surprised at who was joining us. I don’t normally pay a huge amount of attention to godparents as long as the godparents are there and willing to make the appropriate promises."
He added: "She was there as a godparent not as a princess."
It is believed Catherine – who was known as Kate Middleton before she married William in 2011 – knew the parents from university.
Reverend Ken explained: "The couple said they wanted four godparents but weren’t quite sure whether one would be available.
"Then later the father rang me to say the other godmother is available, it’s a friend from uni. Then he told me who it was.
"I got the impression that a number of the congregation had been to the same university."
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge also chose one of their pals from university Oliver Baker to be Prince George’s godfather.
