I think the choices were good, after all, godparents are a personal thing, so William and Kate choose those who are closest to them.

I think the Queen, Prince Philip and Charles would know a few!
As for the royal godparents, I always found a pity that the british aren't close like the other European royals, but maybe they like to be more independent who knows.
BUT they're not ignorant IMO. HM The Queen is friends with Beatrix of Netherlands, I saw them hug on that dinner with all the sovereigns. The Queen and Prince Philip know all of the royals close in age with them. Though they probably don't know the younger generation, they know the other European Heirs, they are not that oblivious.

Since William doesn't even know who they are I don't think its strange that he hasn't asked them. Sophie and Edward are the only british royals who would know euro royals

As for William and Kate. Of course they know other royals (they've met Frederik, Mary, Mathilde, Phillipe, Willem-Alexander, Charlene and Albert), William for example knows the Spanish royal family because he went there with his parents when he was a kid. As a royal, he knows many other royals, either at dinners, gala's, or other kind of events. Kate doesn't know that many, but in due time (when they become Prince and Princess of Wales and eventually The King and Queen) they'll know more royals, with State Visits and other kind of celebrations.
