It is 9-4 that the newlyweds wait until 2020 or later to start a family.

Coral’s Harry Aitkenhead said: “It’s Prince Harry’s 34th birthday this weekend and with the couple making no secret of their desire to start a family we think that it’s almost inevitable now that the latest Royal baby will be arriving in 2019.”

Coral make James the favourite to be the name of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s first child at odds of 8-1, ahead of Thomas (10-1) with Olivia the lowest odds of the girls names at 14-1.

Mr Aitkenhead said: “A royal baby always prompts enormous excitement over what the name will be and at the moment our punters are backing a Prince James to be the latest to enter the family.”

The odds come as Kensington Palace revealed details of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s upcoming tour.

Meghan, 37, will take part in her first major overseas tour as a member of the rRoyal Family when she joins her husband on a visit to the Pacific region.

Meghan and Harry will spend 16 days travelling around Australia, Fiji, the Kingdom of Tonga, and New Zealand from October 16 to 31, Kensington Palace has announced.

The couple are expected to attend Harry’s Invictus Games, a Paralympics-style championship for injured or sick servicemen and women and veterans being staged in Sydney in October.

The Duke and Duchess, who made a brief visit to Dublin during the summer, will spend much of their time in Australia visiting Melbourne, Sydney, the popular holiday town of Dubbo in New South Wales and the country’s Fraser Island, a destination for eco-tourists.

Kensington Palace said in a short statement: “Their Royal Highnesses have been invited to visit the Commonwealth Realms of Australia and New Zealand by the countries’ respective governments.

“The Duke and Duchess will visit Fiji and Tonga at the request of the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.

“The programme across these four Commonwealth countries will focus on youth leadership, environmental and conservation efforts, including the dedication of several new Queen’s Commonwealth Canopy projects, and the recovery and rehabilitation of servicemen and women through the Invictus Games Sydney 2018.”

The trip comes in the wake of a Zika virus outbreak on the islands of Fiji and Tonga.

Pregnant women are advised to avoid Zika-hit areas – the mosquito-borne disease can cause microcephaly in babies, a condition where babies are born with abnormally small heads.

The Foreign Office advises couples travelling to Zika-hit areas to avoid conception while travelling and for up to six months on return.
