Bookmaker Coral have slashed the odds on the royal couple making an announcement after a flurry of bets were placed. The firm has released its latest figures surrounding when Meghan and Harry will have new son Archie’s brother or sister. They have also predicted that the announcement could be made as soon as this year.

Currently, the bookmaker believes that the baby will come next year, offering odds of 54.

For 2021, punters can get odds of 2-1 and for the following year 5-1.

People who feel the baby will arrive by the end of 2019, odds of 8-1 are being offered up.

Harry Aitkenhead, from Coral, said: “Meghan and Harry are in the very early days of parenthood but we’re convinced that baby Archie won’t be their only child.”

“We make 2020 the favourite for the year that they announce they are expecting a second child.”

He added: “The new Royal arrivals have been arriving thick and fast over the last few years and it is 8-1 that Meghan announces before the end of the year that baby number two is on the way.”

Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor was born at 5.26am on Monday, May 6.

He also shares his birthday with psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud and filmmaker Orson Welles.
