The royal family hasnโt revealed much about Prince Harry and Meghan Markleโs first child, apart from that the royal baby is due sometime in โspring 2019โ โ our autumn. We donโt know the childโs gender, any name options (apart from a few Prince Charles joked about) or, in a new twist of events, whether thereโs one baby or two.
The Mail Online reports that a popular betting site, Paddy Power, has received so many bets that the royal couple are having twins, theyโve stopped allowing any more to be placed.
Due to the surprising influx of bets, the company thinks a source with inside knowledge of Harry and Meghanโs pregnancy may have been the first to place money on the pair having twins.
โWe had to suspend betting. We saw an almost identical pattern of betting before the announcements of the coupleโs engagement and pregnancy,โ a spokesman for the Irish betting company said.
โSince the day began, the stream of bets has led us to believe that perhaps the punters โ or an insider source โ knows something more than we do.โ
So many bets were placed on Friday night, itโs reported the odds were slashed from 5/1 to odds-on.
However, sadly, we wouldnโt put too much thought into royal twins, as the official announcement about Meghan Markleโs pregnancy said the couple were โvery pleased to announce that The Duchess of Sussex is expecting a baby in the Spring of 2019.โ
A baby, not babies.
But hey, we wouldnโt be mad if both Harry and Meghan were carrying a newborn out of the Lindo Wing next year.
