As Hannah Waddingham follows in the footsteps of Diana and Kate Middleton by becoming godmother to a Princess ship, how her new success has seen her cosy up to the Royal Family
British actress Hannah Waddingham’s career success seems to have no limits at the moment – and she is now even set to become a godmother to a Princess ship.
After hosting the Eurovision Song Contest in the UK last year, 49-year-old Waddingham’s name seems to be everywhere
And she has now been given an honour usually reserved for the most high-profile of famous faces, and one often given to senior members of the Royal Family.
The Ted Lasso actress has been named Godmother of Princess Cruise Line’s ‘Love Boat’ Sun Princess ship, according to People Magazine.
The title means Waddingham follows in the steps of Kate Middleton, Princess Diana and Queen Elizabeth II – who have all been ‘godparents’ to cruise ships.
But the honour is only the latest example of Waddingham’s seemingly growing connections to the royal family as her career reaches new heights of success.
As she cements her place as the nation’s sweetheart, so her association with the royal family has grown.
From hosting the Earthshot Prize alongside Prince William to entertaining both King Charles and Kate , Hannah appears to be the royals’ new favourite celebrity.
Here, FEMAIL takes a look at all the times the former Game Of Thrones star appeared to be a favourite with the royals, winning them over with her charisma and talent.
It was revealed earlier this week that Waddingham is the latest star to be dubbed the ‘godmother’ of a cruise ship.
Hannah told PEOPLE magazine: ‘I couldn’t believe I have been asked to be a ship Godmother, having grown up around boats all my life and my grandfather was in the Atlantic Convoy in the Navy.
‘To be asked to be a part of this beautiful honour is a “pinch me” moment.
‘I am also honoured to be in the esteemed company with previous Godparents to Princess Ships including Diana, Princess of Wales, Her Royal Highness The Princess of Wales Kate Middleton, Audrey Hepburn, Martha Stewart, and many others
