Bookies have slashed odds on the Duchess of Sussex giving birth today.
Meghan and husband Harry are preparing to welcome their first child any day now and it’s been suggested baby Sussex may be born on April 23 – the same day as Prince Louis birthday.
The odds for the royal baby arriving today have been slashed from 5/1 to 4/1.

Philip Trampe of bookmakers.tv told The Sun: “The odds of Meghan and Harry sharing some happy baby news have taken another plunge.
“The latest betting definitely suggests there could be a baby announcement around the corner, perhaps even today, as bookies face the biggest royal betting frenzy of all time.
“Fans are so keen to speculate on every aspect of Baby Sussex and millions will be riding on the name, arrival date and sex among many other predictions.”
Harry and Meghan recently revealed they will not announce the birth of their first child straight away, as they would like time to “celebrate privately”.
The joint statement read: “The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very grateful for the goodwill they have received from people throughout the United Kingdom and around the world as they prepare to welcome their baby.
“Their Royal Highnesses have taken a personal decision to keep the plans around the arrival of their baby private.
“The Duke and Duchess look forward to sharing the exciting news with everyone once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately as a new family.”
If Meghan and Harry’s baby is born today, he or she will share the same birthday as their cousin Prince Louis.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s youngest child, Louis, turned one today.
To mark his first birthday, three official photos of the tot were shared to the Palace’s Twitter page, showing little Louis smiling in the grounds of the family’s home on the Queen’s Sandringham Estate in Norfolk.
The post from last night was captioned: “The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are delighted to share three new photographs of Prince Louis ahead of his first birthday tomorrow.
“The photographs were taken earlier this month by The Duchess at their home in Norfolk.”
