Punters ( British slang for people who bet against a bookie ) have been racing to place bets on the possible name of the royal baby boy, with 'James' and 'Henry' catching up with the favourite 'Arthur'.
Bookies still have the moniker of the legendary king as their top name but are seeing royal fans taking a bet on the other choices facing the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.
Jessica Bridge, of Ladbrokes, said: “Arthur might be the favourite with the bookies, but it’s actually James that’s the favourite with punters.”
She added: “Over 100,000 bets have placed across the UK betting industry on the baby name, and punters are eagerly awaiting the announcement from Kensington Palace to see if they will be up a few pounds sterling.”
And since we can't have too many pictures of the new little Prince:
Does he look like an Arthur to you ?
The birth of the new Prince has been marked with thunderous gun salutes by the King's Troop Royal Horse Artillery and the Honourable Artillery Company. Gun salutes are fired for the birth of every prince or princess.
The King's Troop staged a 41 royal gun salute in Green Park, while the Honourable Artillery Company fired a 62-gun salute from Gun Wharf at the Tower of London.
