Bookies slash odds on Meghan Markle having second baby next year after flurry of bets

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are probably still getting used to their new role as parents after welcoming their son Archie Harrison five weeks ago.

But bookies believe the couple might be making another exciting baby announcement sooner than you might think.

Coral has slashed the odds on the couple having their second child next year after being "inundated" with bets this week.

Spokesperson John Hill said: "We have been inundated over the last few days with bets on Harry and Meghan having a second baby in 2020, and as always with gambles of this kind, there is seldom smoke without fire."

It's not odds-on at 10-11.

And they're not the only bookies thinking about a baby brother or sister for little Archie.

Ladbrokes is now offering 6/1 on another royal baby next year.

Spokesperson Alex Apati said: "Baby fever could soon be taking over the Royal Family once again and despite only giving birth a matter of weeks ago, we wouldn't be surprised if Harry and Meghan have the bug."

Meghan gave birth to little Archie on May 6 and the introduced him to the world a few days later.

Even though she is on maternity leave the Duchess joined her husband and other members of the Royal Family for Trooping the Colour at the weekend.

According to a royal source Meghan is breastfeeding Archie and Harry is dutifully helping out changing nappies.

The source  told Elle  that Harry wants to be as “involved as possible" and despite being exhausted he is “enjoying every minute of it.”

The couple are also reportedly taking Archie for long walks in the sprawling grounds of Frogmore Cottage .

The source added: "(Frogmore Cottage) provides the family with so much happiness.

"It is quiet and out of the hustle and bustle of London.

"For them all to be able to walk freely and enjoy the beautiful area is such a sensational treat."
