The six godparents for the future queen, who was baptized by the Archbishop of York wearing the historic Honiton lace gown, were chosen from close family, including grandparents King George V and Queen Mary, as well as several aunts and uncles.

    She had six godparents (traditionally referred to as “sponsors” in royal circles): King George V, Queen Mary, Prince Arthur (Duke of Connaught), the Earl of Strathmore, Princess Mary, and Lady Elphinstone
