Ivy climbs bookies’ list
BOOKIES have slashed odds on the royal couple naming their first child Ivy if they have a girl following a flurry of last-minute bets.
Ivy has emerged a firm favourite, with Paddy Power odds standing at
/4 last night. Other top contenders for girls’ names include Diana at 11/2, Allegra at /1 and Grace at 7/1.
A spokesman for Paddy Power said: ‘Ivy wasn’t remotely in contention until Friday. Since then, it’s emerged as the clear favourite after a substantial run of bets.’
However, there is already an important Ivy in Meghan’s life. Her best friend Jessica Mulroney has a daughter called Ivy, who was a bridesmaid at the royal wedding.
