Prince or Princess?
Betfair have reduced the odds of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of having a baby girl from 10/11 down to 1 / 2.
This will be the first child for Prince Harry and Meghan, and we do know Harry has said that he would love a little girl.
There has been a lot of speculation after Meghan’s baby shower which was held in February in New York where pink sugared almonds were handed out. Maybe it was just a coincidence, who knows?
Odds slashed
Betfair spokesperson Katie Baylis said: “Following a significant bet this afternoon we’ve slashed the odds of the royal baby being a girl from 10/11 to 1/2, with a boy now out to 6/4. This bet is one of the biggest we’ve seen on the royal baby markets this year so could be a big clue that we will have a new Princess in the coming weeks.”
Favourite names are Diana with odds of 5/1, followed by Victoria, Alice and Grace with odds of 14/1. For a boy, the most popular name is Arthur with odds of 8/1, and Edward and James with odds of 14/1.
Who knows, it might not be any of them, Harry and Meghan might just go for something completely different.
Kate the Duchess of Cambridge said “It’s such a special time to all have kiddies. And a cousin for George and Charlotte as well, and Louis. So it will be really special.”
