from the top of my head some other prominent godparents:
Irene of the Netherlands had Queen Elizabeth, thew queen-mother. Pss Margriet the famous FD Roosevelt and Pss Christina the immortal Sir Winston Churchill.
Queen Margarethe II was a godparent to prince Willem-Alexander, just as the above metioned Renée Smith-Roëll and the Fürst Bismarck (and I believe PM Zijlstra and another man); Prince Johan-Friso has King Harald as a godfather and King Constantine II of Greece is a godfather to Prince Constantijn. I believe that an austrian Archduke of the hungarian branch (Michael?) is a gofather to one of Pss Margriet's sons. And HM Queen Beatrix is of course a godmother to the horrible Princess Margarita de Bopurbon-Parma who caused her so much grief in the last year!
