Taking the centre stage at todays ceremony It has been reported up in Liverpool that Roberta Mundula who is already the 'Godmother' is truly thrilled and humbled by her role on the quayside . So if Roberta is Queen Anne Godmother she is also a Godparent I would think 🤔 May not be a Royal after all 🤷♂️ I thought she was the Madrina so is probably there out of courtesy, like Maureen Ryan was previously.

Bell Boy Posted June 3 #379 Share Posted June 3 6 minutes ago, Selbourne said: I read that article but assumed it just referred to the shipyard? Whilst it would be an enormous anticlimax, it would be quite funny if after all the secrecy it was someone that nobody has heard of. Just rejoined the ship and walked the red carpet, so I’m still optimistic 🤞 You could be correct , I do hope it referred to past events at the ship yard . Like everyone I hoping for a Royal 🤞 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Pushpit Posted June 3 #380 Share Posted June 3 I see that a private jet, an Embraer 600, has just landed at Speke from Livorno, so that suggests it would be for Andrea Bocelli. I can't see any helicopters at the moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see any helicopters at the moment. I don't think the King's Helicopter Flight typically broadcasts its secondary radar position, so it won't appear on any of the online trackers. If you see it with your eyes it will be an unmistakable burgundy colour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Selbourne Posted June 3 #390 Share Posted June 3 Less than an hour to go and we still don’t know who the Godparent is? With this level of secrecy I can only assume that we are getting The King, The Queen, The US President and the Pope - all at once! 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
