While I was writing up vol 2 of the 3rd edition The Complete Peerage, it came to my mind that several peers and other individuals associated/related to the Royal Family are godchildren to various members, e.g. King Charles III, the late Queen Elizabeth II etc. I wonder, would anyone happen to have an idea of just how many children have been godchildren to members of the Royal Family?

I am specifically interested in peers, their spouses and heirs apparent. If anyone would be able to furnish some names (or indeed a list) of godchildren and Royal Family members, it would be very useful to include such info in the work.

There seems to be some significant lists here: https://www.liquisearch.com/list_of_godchildren_of_members_of_the_british_royal_family/
I am unsure how it has been sourced.
At least, it agrees for Queen Elizabeth II with this article: https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a22064625/queen-elizabeth-godchildren/
