Million pounds wagered on Royal baby's name─── 12:47 Mon, 04 May 2015
London - Bookmakers estimate that a million pounds has now been wagered on the name of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's new baby daughter.
It is thought that William and Kate may be waiting to tell the Queen in person today before making the official announcement.
Prince Charles, the Duchess of Cornwall and Michael and Carole Middleton all went to meet the baby at Kensington Palace yesterday.
The baby girl is fourth in line to the throne.
A rush of punts on Charlotte over the weekend forced the name into the favourite position, ahead of the previous leader Alice. In the last odds offered by SkyBet, Charlotte stood at 9/to 4, with Alice at 3/1, Olivia at 4/1, Victoria at 5/1 and Elizabeth at 7/1.
