Princess Eugenie is expecting her first baby with husband Jack Brooksbank and the child will be the first grandkid in the York side of the family. As it is the case, punters think that the York princess might name her child after her father, Prince Andrew, if she's having a son.
According to Daily Star, bettors pick Arthur as the top choice for the name of the newest royal baby that Princess Eugenie and Jack will welcome in early 2021. However, Andrew is also emerging as another favorite, giving punters a chance to win over $100 if their prediction hits the mark.
Harry Aitkenhead, the spokesman from the Coral betting site, said that Arthur is the popular choice because it is a family name for both the royals and Brooksbank. But, Andrew cannot be ruled out because of the obvious reason: he will be the baby's maternal grandfather.
Ladbrokes, on the other hand, also has Arthur as a favorite pick, as well as James, Edward and Albert. If the child will be a girl, bettors think Princess Eugenie and Jack will go with the name Victoria, Grace or Alice.
Prince Andrew is said to be excited about becoming a first-time grandpa, according to Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York. The baby will become the ninth great-grandchild of the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh.
Meanwhile, friends of the Brooksbank couple think that Princess Eugenie will take after her mother's style of parenting. One close confidante said that the York royal is such a fun person that she will likely become a bohemian mom just like the Duchess of York, who likes to be called Fergie. Jack will be the calm and chill parent.
Prior to the baby announcement, Fergie revealed in a BBC show that she is eager to be a grandmother. The Duchess of York said that she has not fully grown up and would be more inspired to keep writing for her grandkids.
At the height of the lockdown, Fergie started her own YouTube channel, where she tells bedtime stories for kids with her special guests. Princess Eugenie and her sister, Princess Beatrice, have been featured in the channel, where Fergie dresses up in costumes to thrill her young audience.
Princess Eugenie is the 10th in line to the British throne but her son or daughter will not receive any title from Queen Elizabeth, unless the monarch makes a special decree. Royal experts think that Eugenie prefers to raise her child in a normal surrounding, without any royal titles.
