The only thing more exciting than a royal wedding is a royal baby. We’ve been following along as Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced that they were expecting their first child, and we have a short list of names the couple might choose for their baby.

Betting sites, like Ladbrokes, have been taking bets for boy names and girl names. The couple was keeping their baby’s gender under wraps and said they wanted it to be a surprise.

Recently, everyone was speculating that the baby would be a girl. Back in October, Harry was recorded saying that he hoped the baby would be a girl, and many people took that to mean that it was in fact a girl. Honestly, he may not have even known himself at that time.

Of all the baby names out there, on betting sites, Victoria was the top contender with Alice quickly moving up the list. Apparently, betters were also hoping that the baby would be a girl.

Recently, Meghan Markle flew to New York City for a lavish baby shower thrown by her friends. It was seriously fit for a Princess. The location of the shower was the most expensive hotel room in the United States, the penthouse suite at the Mark hotel in Manhattan.

We don’t know what baby gifts Markle received. Apparently, she didn’t open them at the party. She was going to wait until she got home so she could enjoy the experience with Harry.

We couldn’t help but wonder if her friends knew whether to buy something pink or something blue. One guest, Abigail Spencer, was seen entering the Mark hotel with two gift bags. Blue tissue paper was seen peeking out of the bags. That led to speculation that perhaps the baby was a boy.

Our suspicions have been confirmed. Apparently, Meghan decided to share the gender of her baby with her baby shower guests. The couple has not confirmed the gender, but it’s pretty safe to say that this is accurate news.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are expecting a baby boy! Watch the video below for more information about this exciting news.

 

We guess that means that the top bets for baby boy names are going to gain momentum on the betting sites. Will it be Albert, Arthur or Philip? Or, will the couple surprise us with a name we’re not expecting?

Are you surprised that the next royal baby is going to be a boy? What do you think Meghan and Harry will name their son?
