Taking to Instagram, Eugenie shared an adorable first glimpse of the infant’s hand, along with several heart emojis, and already fans are speculating what the youngster will be called.

While the royal couple are yet to hint at their top choices of baby names, bookies are already placing bets on the likely favourites based on the family’s tree.

According to Ladsbroke, the top favourite potential baby name is Arthur, which is the infant’s maternal grandfather, coming in at 5/1.

This is followed by James at 6/1 odds and Frederick, Edward and Albert at 8/1, while Albert, Hugo and Alfred are trending with 10/1 odds.

Given the negative publicity surrounding Eugenie’s father, Prince Andrew, it’s expected the princess will steer clear of Andrew, which is currently an outsider at 25/1

“Her Royal Highness Princess Eugenie was safely delivered of a son today, 9th February 2021, at 0855hrs at The Portland Hospital. Jack Brooksbank was present.” The statement read.
