The royals’ baby name leaked? Bets are surging on these top names

Dec 21, 2018

Rumour has it that our favourite royals have picked out a baby name!

Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced they were expecting, the public have packed into the bookies to predict their baby’s name.

However, a recent rise in the bets suggest that the baby name has been leaked.

The surge in bets came after the royal family gathered for Christmas lunch at Buckingham Palace.

So we can only assume that the couple shared their top two name picks with the family and someone present passed the information on without permission.

Which names topped the list?

Bookmakers Coral revealed that Victoria is the most popular name on the list with the odds 8-1.

As far as boy names go, Albert and Phillip are the most likely winners with the odds 10-1.

However, others seem to think that the royal couple will go with a more sentimental name.

Diana, after Prince Harry’s late mother, is at 10-1 at the bookies.

Coral’s Harry Aitkenhead told OK! Magazine: “It won’t be long now until the latest Royal baby is welcomed into the family, and the name is always a popular thing for punters to bet on.

“At the moment it is Victoria that leads the way and is our favourite to be the name of Harry and Meghan’s first child, whilst famous Royal names Diana and Philip have also been popular in the betting.”
