Speculation is rife that Meghan Markle is set to give birth to her first child over the Easter weekend – which means her mother, Doria Ragland will soon be on her way, if not already.
According to bookies, the odds now suggest that the Duchess of Sussex will go in to labour between Good Friday and Easter Monday.
Spokesperson for Ladbrokes Jessica Bridge said: “Royal fans would love a double celebration over the Easter weekend with Her Majesty’s birthday on Sunday, and potentially Baby Sussex arriving as well.”
She went on to say: “Punters are still convinced the Duke and Duchess will be welcoming a little girl into the world.”
Meanwhile, when it comes to names, Elizabeth and Diana are the joint front runners followed by Victoria.
Albert and Philip are the most popular boys’ names.
So does this mean we can expect to see Doria, who is extremely close with her daughter, landing in London very soon? It certainly seems that way.
Earlier this week, Meghan’s uncle revealed he thinks Doria, 92, will be a big part of the baby’s life and be a ‘hands-on’ gran.
He told the Daily Mail: “I think [Doria] will be a big part. I think she’ll be hands-on, just because of Meghan’s time constraints. She’ll have to be around.
“I think she’ll be a great grandmother, if she helps raise that child anything like Meghan was raised.”
