Royal Family May Opt Against Granting Prince Harry Crucial Position in the Monarchy
Prince Harry, longtime friend of the Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor, is unlikely to be named as the godfather to Grosvenor's newborn daughter, Cosima Florence Grosvenor. This prediction stems from several key factors, including Harry's absence at the Grosvenor's wedding and his current residence in California.
Hugh Grosvenor, who is already godfather to Prince George and is thought to be godfather to Prince Archie, has reciprocal godparent connections primarily with Prince William. This is evident as William is the godfather to both George and Archie as well.
At the Grosvenor's wedding in Chester Cathedral last year, Prince William took on the role of an usher, demonstrating a close relationship with the family. In contrast, Prince Harry was conspicuously absent, reportedly by mutual agreement to avoid awkwardness due to the ongoing tensions between the brothers.
Moreover, Harry's geographic distance—living with Meghan Markle and their children in Montecito, California—has reduced his involvement with the Grosvenor family compared to William, who is regularly seen with them at events in the UK.
The ongoing royal family tensions, particularly between the brothers, have also likely influenced Harry being passed over for a significant role such as godfather to Cosima.
While it's not yet confirmed who Cosima's godparents will be, Prince William is reportedly the favored candidate, reflecting his closer ongoing ties with the Grosvenor family.
As the news of Cosima's birth was announced this past weekend, it seems that Prince Harry, despite his friendship with Hugh Grosvenor, will not be a part of this significant moment in the Grosvenor family's life.
Despite Prince Harry's close friendship with Hugh Grosvenor, his absence at the Grosvenor's wedding and current residence in California suggest he may not be named as godfather to Cosima Florence Grosvenor. In contrast, the ongoing royal family tensions, particularly between the brothers, and Harry's distance from the UK events may have influenced this decision. The favored candidate for Cosima's godparents, as reported, is Prince William, reflecting his closer ongoing ties with the Grosvenor family, creating a unique fusion of fashion, beauty, style, and entertainment within celebrity circles.
