Prince of Wales is seemingly ready to share responsibilities after his close pal Duke of Westminster, Hugh Grosvenor, announced to expect his first child.

In addition to William's eldest son, the Duke has also been taking care of Prince Harry's son Prince Archie as mentor.

The godparent connections between the Royal Family and the Grosvenor's clan are to strengthen the close relationships between the respective families. 

GBN reported that King Charles has been fulfilling his duties as godfather to Hugh since his childhood.

As Hugh has been taking responsibilities of both prince's children it is speculated that William will be the godfather of the Duke's baby. 

For those unaware, the Duke and Duchess of Westminster made the delightful announcement of their pregnancy on Wednesday, March 12, 2025.

"The Duke and Duchess of Westminster are very pleased to share that the Duchess is expecting a baby in the summer," the spokesperson stated.

Hugh and his wife, Olivia Henson tied the knot last year, where Prince William served his role as an usher.

Despite being a close pal to Hugh Grosvenor, Prince Harry did not attend his wedding ceremony due to the ongoing feud with his elder brother.
