The godfather of Prince William and Princess Kate’s eldest son, Prince George’s godfather, makes a touching promise ahead of the future British monarch’s Eton stop.
Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton, the former royal equerry who is Prince George’s godfather, has pledged to step up his duty as godfather as the young prince approaches a new milestone.
As George, 12, prepares to start his studies at Eton College in September, the former SAS soldier vowed: “I’m going to be a better godfather.”
He added: “But I’m a better sponsor when it’s time to have a little fun.”
Lowther-Pinkerton, who went from being a member of the royal staff to a trusted family friend, expressed excitement for the adventures ahead.
He described being “brought out of retirement to become a cat herder” during the king’s coronation in 2023, when he was tasked with overseeing his godson alongside the other pages.
Asked about the prospect of a reconciliation between Princes William and Harry, Lowther-Pinkerton, who also served the royal brothers as their private secretary for nine years, replied: “You know what? I think I’d better avoid that issue with Harry.”
