Fresh off the heels of this morning's Princess Charlotte christening announcement, bets are already being placed over who the littlest royal's godparents will be!

Ladbrokes' latest polls put several famous faces in the lead, along with a few royals for good measure.

So just who will Kate Middleton and Prince William choose for the daughter? Well, here's who people think the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will name…

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie take up the two lead spots, followed by none other than Peter Phillips—the eldest grandchild of Queen Elizabeth II.

And the family honors continue with betters guessing that Prince Harry, Pippa Middleton and James Middleton will also be given the high title.

Of course, given that Kate and William didn't choose their siblings for Prince George, we're not certain they'd switch things up with their second child.

There are a few other names that stick out on the betting list, including Elton John, Victoria and David Beckham, and even Hugh Grant.

While no official announcement has been made at this point, we do know that Charlotte will be christened on July 5 at St. Mary Magdalene Church at the Queen's Sandringham estate in Norfolk. The Palace also announced that the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Rev.Justin Welby, will perform the service.

Per the BBC, Welby was "delighted" to be asked to conduct the tiny royal's baptism.

He added, "It will be an extraordinary honor and privilege to help welcome the princess into the family of the church."
