The second royal baby will make their way into the world next month, when Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, gives birth.
Kate Middleton has revealed the baby is due mid to late April and UK bookmakers are now predicting it will be a girl named Alice.
The online betting company Betfair has taken bets on what the Duke and Duchess will name Prince George’s younger sibling and so far, Alice is in the lead. Bets have also been placed on gender, hair color and birth date.
Hello! Magazine reports the name Alice holds a significance in the royal family because it’s Queen Victoria's second daughter, Alice Maud Mary’s name.
In second is Elizabeth and Charlotte ranks in third. "Elizabeth had been the clear favorite until an unexpected rush of support for Alice over the last 24 hours and we've been forced to slash the price from 8/1 to 3/1," novelties and politics trader for Betfair, Cormac Dowling, said.
The royals have not confirmed the sex of their baby, but these gamblers seem awfully confident it will be a girl. Alexandra and Mary are the fifth and sixth predictions for the baby’s name.
