London (CNN) British bookmakers are suspending betting on the due date of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex's royal baby, amid speculation that the child has already been born. Paddy Power and Coral halted bets after a number of customers placed money on dates that had already passed. Both have also noticed a surge in betting on the child being a girl named Ivy. "These people are clearly talking to someone, who is talking to someone else," Lee Price, Paddy Power's head off PR, told CNN. It is followed by Alice, Diana, Victoria and Elizabeth, as punters appear decided that the child will be a girl.
