Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Meghan’s latest comments have forced us into action, and while we’re convinced it’ll be an early April baby, there’s every chance the latest royal will share a birthday with his or her Great Nan.”

The baby looks set to arrive around 11-and-a-half months after Harry and Meghan’s wedding – and before their first wedding anniversary on May 19.

Harry’s older brother Prince William, now the Duke of Cambridge, was born in June 1982 – 11 months after Diana wed Charles in July 1981.
