-

ONE punter won more than £18,000 after she guessed the newest member of the Royal Family would be called Archie.

The woman staked £120 on the 150/1 bet after Baby Sussex was born on her grandson Archie’s birthday.

More than £1.1million was wagered on names but Archie was a huge outsider compared withAlexan­der, Spencer, Arthur and James. The unnamed woman, who scooped £18,120, said: ‘I thought I’d go for a cheeky bet as perhaps my Archie would bring some luck.’
