Based on the recent betting odds, Prince George is expected to welcome a baby sister on late-April with Kate Middleton is expected to give birth on April 25, according to Mirror UK.

British-based gaming company, Ladbrokes, revealed recently that most betters are confident that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are going to welcome a little princess, with 82% of all wagers predicting a baby girl. But the bets did not stop on the baby’s sex, punters are also betting for the baby girl’s name with Alice leading the list. Other royal baby names on the list include Elizabeth, Charlotte and Victoria.

"The nation would love to see a new princess join the royal family and punters have their money where their mouth is and forced the odds to be cut," Jessica Bridge of Ladbrokes said in a statement.

And speaking of royal baby girl, ABC News’ royal contributor Victoria Murphy revealed that Prince Charles is “particularly excited” about the new baby. She also revealed that Prince William wanted a girl when Kate was pregnant with Prince George and Prince Charles also wanted a granddaughter this time around.
