American billionaire Tyler Perry has been disclosed as the godfather of one-year-old Princess Lilibert, as he made a special trip to California for her private christening event last Friday.
Unlike the grand setting of Windsor Castle where Big Brother Archie was christened, Lilibert’s ceremony took place at her Montecito residence with an intimate gathering of around 20-30 speculated guests.
Notably, no members of the royal family were present, although King Charles was informed of Harry and Meghan’s decision to bestow titles upon their offspring.
Speculation arose that media mogul Oprah Winfrey might be the mystery godmother, given her close ties to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Oprah, who attended the royal couple’s wedding in 2018 and conducted their headline-making interview in 2021, seemed like a natural choice.
In their Netflix documentary series, Harry and Meghan shared how Oprah was one of the few visitors to their Frogmore Cottage home, expressing disbelief at their living situation.
Despite widespread assumptions, Oprah dismissed the notion of being Lilibert’s godmother, stating, “I don’t need to be a godmother.
I’m a godmother by default.”
She emphasized her role as a neighbor and friend, suggesting that a younger individual might be more suitable for the position.
However, Harry and Meghan are unlikely to consider age a determining factor, leaving the possibility open for Oprah’s involvement.
The selection of godparents for Lilibert appears to be closely tied to Meghan’s circle of friends, contrasting with Archie’s godparents, who were predominantly linked to Harry.
While not officially confirmed, reports suggest that Harry and William’s former nanny, Alexandra Pettifer, known as Tiggy-Legg Bork, was chosen as one of Lilibert’s godparents.
Additionally, Harry’s close friend Charlie Van Strubenese and royal aide Mark Dahlia, perceived as a father figure to the prince, are believed to have been selected.
Considering Meghan’s connections, potential godparent candidates include tennis champion Serena Williams, Meghan’s longtime friend Jessica Mulroney, human rights lawyer Amal Clooney, and TV host Ellen DeGeneres.
If a royal figure were to be chosen, options might include Princess Eugenie or Sarah Ferguson.
Princess Eugenie, the first royal visitor to meet the Sussexes in California, shares a close bond with Harry, while Ferguson, despite claiming limited acquaintance with Meghan, has a history of kinship with Harry.
As the details of Princess Lilibert’s godparents emerge, speculation continues to swirl around the royal family’s inner circle.
The selection process hints at a deliberate choice of individuals significant to Meghan, underscoring the personal nature of the decision.
With various possibilities on the table, including both celebrity friends and royal connections, the christening of Princess Lilibert remains a topic of intrigue and discussion among royal enthusiasts.
