  • People Are Betting On The Royal Baby’s Name – These Are The Top Picks

    There are rumours doing the rounds that Meghan has already given birth to the royal baby.

    This seems unlikely, as the royal family relies on these mundane events to keep their positive press on the up.

    It can’t be all cheating scandals all the time.

    While we wait for the baby, the internet has been betting on its gender and name.

    Here’s Business Insider:

    In the UK, gambling on such outcomes has become something of a tradition in recent years, and the impending birth of Harry and Meghan’s child is no different. British bookmaker William Hill expects to receive bets worth around £1 million (R18 million), according to the New York Times.

    “The idea of tens of thousands of strangers voting on the sex of your unborn baby is frankly bizarre, but it’s part of the buildup to a royal birth and an acceptable part of the narrative,” Katie Nicholl, who wrote a book about Harry and Meghan told the Times.

    On the upside – or the downside, depending on your sense of humour – the betting won’t affect the outcome.

    This is good news for Meghan and Harry if you consider that the last time the British public were invited to participate in naming something, we were gifted Royal Research ship Boaty McBoatface.

    Back to the betting. The market for girls names looks like this:

    • Diana – 4/1
    • Victoria – 7/1
    • Alice, Grace, or Isabella – 12/1
    • Elizabeth – 14/1

    And if the baby is a boy:

    • Arthur or James – 16/1
    • Edward – 25/1
    • Albert, Alexander, Christopher, Daniel, Henry, or Phillip – 33/1

    People are also betting on the due date, and some have gone as far as to bet on whether there’s more than one baby in there.

    Irish bookmaker Paddy Power has the baby odds on to be a girl, with odds of 4/7. A male baby is 11/10. Obviously, there’s virtually a 50/50 likelihood of the child being male or female, and the skewed odds reflect more people betting on the baby being a girl.

    In other news, it looks like Meghan and Harry might be moving to Africa.

    According to the Daily Beast, there are plans to send the couple to the continent for two or three years in 2020.

    Fresh palace spin Monday sought to suggest that Harry and Meghan “like the idea” (which is fortunate, isn’t it?), but it was hard to avoid the conclusion from observing the brothers on Sunday that an unseasonal chill had descended over the young royals.

    Amid rumored fears by palace staff that Meghan and Harry could be “bigger than Diana,” the brothers, who were once inseparable, appeared to be doing everything they could to keep out of each other’s way as they shuffled awkwardly into church for an Easter service.

    Shame. Maybe the birth of little Prince or Princess Baby McBabyface will bring them all back together.

    No? Prince Infant McInfantface?

    Worth a try.
