Fans of the royal family have been in a frenzy ever since Meghan and Harry announced that they were expecting back in October 2018. While Kensington Palace has only unveiled a handful of details, this hasn’t stopped people from speculating about what they’d call the “Sussex baby.”

Many fans have flocked to their nearest bookmakers to place bets on all of the key details about the baby. According to bookmakers.tv, it is believed that over $10,000 has already been placed on bets.

Previously, when William and Kate’s children were on their way, they racked up a combined betting fee of just under $4,000. “Meghan and Harry’s popularity is off the charts and their good news will send the public into a royal betting frenzy of epic proportions,” Philip Trampe said, who works for bookmakers.tv.

Without a doubt, the most popular bet to place on the imminent arrival is the name of Meghan’s baby. As of now, the favorite is Victoria and it has been the favorite since the announcement.
