The countdown for the royal baby is well and truly here, with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex expected to welcome their new bundle of joy later this month.
And, there has already been plenty of speculation about what Meghan Markle and Prince Harry will name the royal tot.
While fans have suggested Diana after Harry’s late mother, bookies have revealed that the most popular choice of name is… Elizabeth.
Yep, betting site Ladbrokes announced that the name Elizabeth is currently the top contender in the naming stakes, if the couple have a baby girl.
After an influx of bets bookies cut the odds on Elizabeth from 16/1 to 6/1, bumping Diana to second place at 8/1.
Of course, Elizabeth isn’t an unusual choice as it would be a lovely way to tribute Harry’s grandmother and the current monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.
The royal tot could also have another special connection to its soon-to-be great-grandmother.
The new bub could arrive on, or close to The Queen’s birthday on April 21.
“Meghan’s due date is desperately close to the Queen’s birthday and the stars might just align for the latest royal arrival,” Ladbrokes said in a statement.
No official word on the gender of the baby has been announced but watch the video below to find out why Meghan’s baby shower sparked a number of gender theories.
