Five lucky people were named Princess Charlotte's godparents ahead of her christening on Sunday.

The royal baby's official godparents are Sophie Carter, James Meade, Adam Middleton, the Honorary Laura Fellowes, and Thomas van Straubenzee, Us Weekly notes.

Carter is a longtime friend of Kate Middleton and her family, and Adam is Kate's cousin. Fellowes is Princess Diana's niece. Straubenzee is Prince William's best friend. Back in 2011, Straubenzee helped Prince Harris with the royal couple's best man speech.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge did not name any of their siblings as godparents for their first daughter.

Charlotte is being christened at the same church her late grandmother Princess Diane was christened in 1961, NBC News notes.

The queen will be attending the christening along with her husband Prince Philip. Other people among guests include Prince Charles and Kate's family including her siblings Pippa and James Middleton.

Charlotte was born on May 2 and has made two camera appearances since then. The 9-month-old baby is fourth in line to the throne.

The baptism will be carried out by the Archbishop of Canterbury and more.

A large crowd of people are gathered outside of the church to witness the Royal family's christening, according to The Telegraph. Fewer than 30 people will attend the event.

No members of the public are allowed to enter the church during the service. Instead, they are allowed to stand in the paddock outside the churchyard, which is the same place people stand when the Royal family attends church service on Christmas Day.

Nearly 3,000 people come to the paddock on Christmas Day. That number is expected to double for the attendance of Princess Charlotte's christening.

The little princess is the first member of the Royal family to have her christening service open to the public in three generations. Others were held away from the public in the past.
