Bookmakers have slashed the odds on the new royal baby being christened Alice after a flurry of bets in Tunbridge, Kent.

Bookies William Hill are now offering 4-1 on the name, compared to 14-1 over the weekend and Alice is also the favourite at Paddy Power.

The next most popular girls names are Elizabeth, Charlotte, Victoria, Alexandra and Diana, with Arthur, Henry and James the punters choice for a boy.

The Duchess of Cambridge is now officially on maternity leave and her second child, a brother or sister for Prince George, is due at the end of April.
