The Duke and Duchess of Westminster shared exciting news earlier this week, announcing that they are expecting their first child together.

Prince William may soon take on a new significant role as a new baby is set to join the royal family in the coming months.

On Wednesday, March 12, Hugh and Olivia Grosvenor—better known as the Duke and Duchess of Westminster—revealed that they are expecting their first child.

A spokesperson for the couple released a statement saying, “The Duke and Duchess of Westminster are very pleased to share that the Duchess is expecting a baby in the summer.”

The statement continued, “The couple are delighted with the news and are very much looking forward to starting a family together.”

Royal fans have already begun speculating that William could be named the child’s godfather. Given his close friendship with Hugh—who is already the godfather to Prince George and Prince Archie—many believe it is highly likely. Some took to social media to share their thoughts, with one user on X writing, “Do you think Prince William will be a Godfather? I’m sure he will be…”

The idea seems plausible, as royal family traditions often involve selecting close friends or family members as godparents.
