A BOOKMAKER has slashed the odds on the Duchess of Sussex giving birth over the Easter weekend.

Ladbrokes has it at 3/1 that Meghan and the Duke of Sussex will welcome their first-born sometime between Good Friday and Easter Monday.

Easter Sunday on April 21, also coincides with The Queen’s 93rd birthday this year.

Jessica Bridge, of Ladbrokes, 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.

“Punters are still totally convinced that the duke and duchess will be welcoming a little girl into the world.

“The odds for a baby girl are 4/7, while a boy is 13/10.”

Miss Bridge also revealed that Elizabeth and Diana are the joint front runners for the baby’s name at 6/1.

News of the baby’s arrival will only be announced once the duke and duchess have had the chance to celebrate privately as a new family.
