According to Express, punters believe the time between Princess Beatrice’s wedding and her first pregnancy announcement will match the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s timeline.
The royal couple announced they were expecting their first child, Prince George, in December 2012.
The gap between their wedding and the royal baby announcement was seven months.
Express reported that while a date is yet to be set for Princess Beatrice and Edo’s wedding, many expect them to wait until spring for fairer weather.
Bookmaker company Coral tips 2021 as the most likely year that the couple will announce their baby news.
“Everybody is excited for another royal wedding next year and it might not be too long until Princess Beatrice and her fiance Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi start a family,” Coral spokesman Harry Aitkenhead told the publication.
“We make 2021 the favourite in our market for the year their first child is born.”
By comparison, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced they were expecting their son Archie just five months after their royal wedding in May 2018.
The news of Meghan’s pregnancy was revealed while the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were on a royal tour of Australia in October 2018.
In an emotional moment at the WellChild awards on Tuesday, Prince Harry appeared to choke up after discussing becoming a father in a speech.

“Last year when my wife and I attended we knew that we were expecting our first child, no one else knew, but we did,” Harry said, recalling how he knew Meghan was pregnant with his son Archie at last year’s WellChild Awards.
“I remember squeezing Meghan’s hand so tight during the awards and both of us thinking what it would be like to be parents one day and more so would it would be like to protect and help our child should they be born with immediate challenges or become unwell over time,” he added.
