While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have not revealed whether they're having a boy or a girl, latest bets claim Grace, Diana, Arthur and Elizabeth are punters' most popular choices.

Grace and Diana currently have odds of 6/1, followed by Arthur and Elizabeth at 8/1.

But as royal fans continue to speculate over the gender and name, "Allegra" has entered the running this week, with bookies slashing odds from 100/1 to just 20/1.

The Italian name means "joyful and lively" and is said to be the name Diana wanted if she had had a baby girl.

"We wouldn't be surprised to see the name right up there with the frontrunners by the time the birth gets announced."
