Royal Baby Betting Props: Will Harry and Meghan Honor Diana?

Meghan Markle brought a whole new perspective and attitude to England’s royal family and now she and Harry, the Duke of Sussex, will welcome their first child and newest blue blood this spring. “Diana” is the betting favorite for the name of their first child at +800. Of course, it’s unknown what gender the child will be – but you can bet on that too!

We’ve got a litany of betting props for royal watchers to wager on as the Duke and Duchess prepare for their latest adventure together in parenthood. Some of the props are completely arbitrary, like which day of the week the child will be born on (all at +550), but some results can actually be researched and smart wagers placed.

Will They Have Twins?

According to the Twins and Multiple Births Association, women in their late 30s and early 40s are more likely to produce two or more eggs per ovulation cycle, thus leading to higher incidences of multiple births. Markle recently turned 37 years old so she is at the bottom end of that age band. The betting odds for twins currently sit at +1500 if you want to wager on double trouble.

Will They Have a Ginger Baby?

Harry’s trademark red hair is +300 to be passed down to baby number 1. While the science is imperfect on who we inherit our hair traits from, it’s believed that dark hair is dominant over light hair. Of course, it depends on which trait is dominant (think back to high school biology class) but many researchers lean toward the mother passing on hair traits with the caveat that every case is individual.
