William and Kate made a major change to royal convention when selecting godparents for Prince George.
Historically, family members and high-ranking members of the aristocracy are chosen for the privilege of such an important role in the life of a future monarch. But the Cambridges went for a long list of their friends instead.
For George, they chose Oliver Baker, Emilia Jardine-Paterson, Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, Julia Samuel, William Van-Cutsem, Zara Tindall and The Duke of Westminster.
