William and Catherine seem to do things with a minimum of fuss. I would guess just two sponsors. Harry and Pippa.
Van der Post however died when William was 14 so I don't know how much of a mentor he was to William . That seemed like a pick more for Charles than William.
Picking a cousin like Zara, Peter, David Linley or Sarah Chatto is a good way to honor the family without picking an immediate family member.
Care to back this statement up with fact? Usually when one makes a statement on a member of the royal family, its not unusual to be asked to provide a source.
If this is just your fabricated opinion, as you are new here, I'd suggest reading the rules we all agree to abide by here. This part in particular is very relevant here.
"Whenever possible, opinions should be based on factual information obtained from reputable sources and should be backed up by references to those sources.

I agree with this.
You say Princess me, that Edward and Sophie wouldn't be chosen because in many years to come they will not be as important. That is not a particularly true fact when it comes to godparent selection. Perhaps you should look at William's godparents and Charles' godparents. William's godparents consist of Princess Alexandra (a distant relative, which is what Edward and Sophie would be in the future to George), who is well loved by the Queen and has worked very hard for the monarch. She may not be the most well known of Royals, but at the time of William's birth she was a bit more "famous".
I cant wait to see how people will react to the above "post".. The last two days about William vs Harry and now this..

Am interested in all the royals and enjoy reading the threads and posts in the forums, but don’t understand why Prince Edward, Sophie Countess of Wessex and their PR people constantly inject themselves into other people’s threads
When you think about it, Harry, Pippa and the parents of their younger bridal attendants (Linley, Wessex, Van Cutsem, Lopes, Lowther-Pinkerton, and Legge-Bourke) top a lot of the suggested lists. It would be funny if it turned out to be that simple OR will they choose from a completely different pool. I think they will have less than six godparents only because they like to make their own mark on things.
James Meade, Mark Tomlinson, the 3 Other Van Custems Brothers, Sam Whaley Cohen ( for the shorter ladies) , Mike Tindall (for some muscles), David Beckham For Hot godfathers
If it comes down to a 'battle between the Diana faction and the Camilla faction', it will be no contest. I'm glad Charles is happy and Camilla is relatively accepted but the last poll conducted 3 months ago on whether Camilla should be queen, only 16 percent were in favour. There are literally millions of Diana fans and maybe thousands of Camilla fans. Face the facts, Camilla will never be accepted as Princess of Wales or queen consort.
