Coral bookmaker has been knocked over with bets on the royal christening and according to the firm, over 500 bets have been struck this weekend on the Duchess of Cambridge wearing a blue dress for the occasion, forcing the odds to tumble from 6-1 down to 2-1.

Betting on the colour of the Queen’s hat has also proved popular and Coral make blue the 4-1 favourite, while it’s 6-1 that she opts for an apricot or peach head piece.

Coral is also taking bets on who will be holding Prince George upon leaving the Chapel Royal at St James’s Palace, and Kate is the 8-13 favourite to be carrying the prince, with William 6-5.

“Betting on the Royal Baby has reached fever pitch once again, and we are seeing massive interest in our Royal Christening odds”, commented Coral’s Nicola McGeady.

“Kate wore a blue dress when she left the hospital with Prince George in July, and punters are convinced that the Duchess will wear a similar shade on Wednesday”, added McGeady.
