Betting suspended on marriage between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

More good news looks set to come from the Royal Family, with betting suspended on Prince Harry proposing to Meghan Markle this year.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge confirmed they are expecting their third child earlier this week, and William’s younger brother is now expected to follow up that announcement with news of his own.

With betting suspended it looks as though the wedding bells are not far away.

But when will the union take place?

A 2017 marriage is priced up at 16/1, although at 6/4, it’s much more likely the pair tie the knot in 2019, with 3/1 on offer for a 2018 wedding.

The couple are rumoured to have been dating since October last year.

But now it looks as though Harry is ready to make Suits actress Markel his queen of hearts.

Alex Apati of Ladbrokes said: “Punters are wondering who’ll pop first – Harry with the question or Kate with the baby! And as far as we’re concerned, it’s now a matter of when and not if Harry gets down on one knee this year.”
