Bookies Hint Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Will Name Their Baby Girl After Prince Philip

Its the question on everyone’s mind: which royal family member will Meghan Markle and Prince Harry name their baby girl after?

After Prince Philip‘s passing last month, U.K. gambling site Ladbrokes has seen Philippa grow as a popular prediction for Meghan and Harry’s daughter — the betting odds? 3/1.

“The support for baby Philippa is showing no signs of slowing down, and we’ve been forced to trim the odds again that it’s the name for Harry and Meghan’s daughter,” said Jessica O’Reilly of Ladbrokes.

Harry’s cousins Princess Eugenie as well as Zara Tindall also paid tribute to their grandfather just before his death by giving their newborn sons the middle name Philip.

Other top name predictions would honor other Royal Family members, Diana, after Harry’s late mother Princess Diana, and Elizabeth, after Harry’s grandmother the Queen, are near the top of the leaderboard at 5/1 and 10/1, respectively.
