WHO’S WHO IN BABY SUSSEX’S ROYAL CLIQUE
Thanks to Mum and Dad’s roster of A-list pals, Sussex Junior is set to be one of the most well-connected children on the planet.
Most likely to get cooking tips from… Brian, John and Ivy Mulroney
Jessica Mulroney, fashion stylist and daughter-in-law of the former Canadian PM, is Meghan’s best friend, and all three of her children had a role in the royal wedding – the twin boys carried her train and enchanted the world with their goofy grins. They live an Instagram-perfect life in Toronto and all seem to be budding chefs, regularly popping up on Mummy’s profile cooking such delicious treats as (sugar-free) blueberry pancakes and pasta with sweetcorn.
Most likely to make some noise with… Ella and
Alexander Clooney
The Clooneys welcomed their twins in 2017 and, according to Dad George, Ella is ‘very elegant and dainty’ (gets that from Mum) and Alex is ‘just a thug: he laughs louder than everyone in the room’. So much so, in fact, that the Clooneys have been known to – lol – hand out noise-cancelling headphones to other passengers on flights. (On the rare occasion they fly commercial, that is.)
Most likely to party with… Princess Charlotte
Baby Sussex will, of course, enjoy play dates and family holidays with the rapidly expanding clan of royal kids – Harry, after all, is close to his cousins Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie. But as they grow up, could Princess Charlotte be the one to lead Baby Sussex astray? Apparently, she’s already quite the social butterfly, as Prince William revealed last week she was having a ‘rowdy party’ to celebrate turning four.
Most likely to go rock up at the UN with… Neve Te Aroha Ardern Gayford
New Zealand’s PM, Jacinda Ardern, made history last year when she turned up to the UN general assembly meeting with her three-month-old daughter in tow, and Neve is only the second baby in history to be born to a sitting head of government. Jacinda has made no secret of her admiration for Meghan, saying last year, ‘I think she’s incredible,’ so no doubt these two kids will grow up to have a lot in common – despite living thousands of miles apart.
Most likely to be spotted on Instagram with… Alexis Olympia Ohanian
She may only be 18 months old, but Serena Williams’ daughter already has over half a million followers on Instagram. Even her doll, Qai Qai, has her own profile with 126,000 followers.
Yes, really. With snaps such as her posing up a storm in Burberry, or commanding a toddler-sized Oval office, we may well see Baby Sussex pop up at some point on Olympia’s – or even Qai Qai’s feed – with Mum and Dad’s permission.
