Since 1917, the ruling family of Great Britain have been the Windsors. The current King is Charles III, who ascended the throne in September 2022 following the death of Elizabeth II.
Elizabeth was the longest reigning monarch Great Britain has ever had (even beating the notoriously unamused, and very long lived, Queen Victoria), with a reign spanning 70 years.

Royal Betting Markets - A King’s Ransom Of Opportunities!
There is a huge selection of potential Royal betting markets for making wagers on the UK Royal Family, from choosing wedding dresses to picking out baby names.
Royal Baby Betting
The pitter-patter of tiny feet is always a cause for celebration, and a Royal baby is no different. Popular bets in this category can be:
Royal Name Betting
- Guessing a new Royal baby’s name is always an in-demand bet. Many Royal babies are named for Royal forebears, and common monikers include George, Charles, and Henry. However, superstition dictates that one name is never used for babies in the direct line of succession: John. King of England between 1199-1216, John is known as the worst ruler in England’s history. Some modern Royals eschew tradition completely and go for a popular name, such as Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, the son of Prince Harry, and Sienna Elizabeth Mapelli Mozzi, the daughter of Princess Beatrice.
Date Of Birth
- As soon as a Royal pregnancy is announced, many betting sites will release odds on their potential date of birth.
Other Options
- Other possible Royal bet options can include guessing the weight and gender of the new arrival. Many Royal parents keep the gender a secret until the birth, although Prince Harry also bucked this tradition for his second child, when the couple announced they were expecting a daughter.
👑 Royal events like Coronations capture the world's attention
👰 The wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton proved extremely popular
Royal Weddings - The Biggest Of Big Days!
It seems like the whole world tunes in to see a Royal Wedding, and there are plenty of betting opportunities too. Just a few of the most popular Royal wedding betting markets are:
Queens Dressed To Kill
- One of the most common set of betting options relates to Royal fashion choices. Will the groom wear a military uniform? What colour hat will the Queen be wearing? Who will design the wedding dress, and how long will the train be? Thanks to rationing still being in effect, Queen Elizabeth II had to purchase the material for her wedding dress using ration coupons!
Get Me To The Church On Time
- Another regular bet is to try and work out who will walk the bride down the aisle. When Prince Harry married Meghan Markle in 2018, there was a 2000/1 chance that then US President Donald Trump might have the honour! Ultimately, he wasn’t invited.
Even More UK Royal Family Bets
As well as the above, prospective punters will find many other fun UK Royal Family bet options.
Royal Family Divorce
A more speculative bet could be a wager on a Royal parting of the ways. Following years of intense speculation by the press, King Charles divorced Diana Spencer in 1996. According to sources, the late Queen disapproved of the separation and that was part of the reason why the divorce took so long.
Next In Line To The Throne
Another betting alternative is to try and work out who will be the next to ascend to the throne. Charles III became King in 2022 at the age of 73. The chain of succession dictates that Prince William, and then Prince George, are second and third in line, but this can change at any time. Infamously, Prince Edward VIII abdicated the throne in 1936 in order to marry the divorced Wallis Simpson.

Spilt Perfume And Septuple Names - Royal Betting Facts And Statistics
If you’re wondering how to choose the next Royal baby name, or wedding dress designer, these fascinating facts might just help you out.
Princess Diana was apparently so secretive about her wedding dress, that decoy scraps of fabric were thrown away to fool the press. When the big day came, she was a bundle of nerves and spilt perfume over her dress. Luckily, her make-up artist managed to fold the dress so that the stain didn’t show.
Royal weddings usually happen on a weekday, which becomes a Bank Holiday in the UK. However Prince William and Meghan Markle broke this pattern by tying the knot on a Saturday.
One canny punter pocketed £18, 120 after guessing that the first child of Prince Harry would be called Archie.
It is traditional for new Royal parents to inform the King of the name of a new arrival, before announcing it publicly. They could mean that there’s a slight delay between the birth and the child’s name being announced.
Royal babies have traditionally had up to seven names (giving you more chance of a lucky pick!) but this is now usually cut down to three.
Our Royal Hints And Tips For Regal Betting
By now you’ve got a good overview of the wagers available at Royal betting sites, but to help you on your way even further, we’ve put together some handy hints and tips.
🔍 Choose Your Betting Site Carefully
Each betting site will have slightly different offerings and features, so it’s important to choose the one that best caters to you.
📚 Do Your Research
Many Royal family celebrations include a lot of traditional elements and nods to those who came before. For example, did you know that all wedding bouquets include a sprig of myrtle, following the example of Queen Victoria? Most brides include their own choice of flowers too, such as sweet Williams when Katherine Middleton married Prince William.
⏳ Time Your Bet Right
You’ll be able to enjoy the best odds the further in advance you make your Royal wedding or baby wager. However, as with
betting on UK politics, be aware that the situation can change quickly!
✔️ Check The Terms Of Your Bet
Make sure you’ve double-checked your bet carefully. Some sites are strict about the spelling of baby names for example.
Another Victorian tradition is a wedding fruit cake. Some modern couples choose to add another cake too, e.g. Prince William enjoyed a cake made of chocolate biscuits at his reception.
Royal Betting - The Crown Jewel Of Novelty Betting
You never know what might happen in the nation’s most famous family, and that’s why placing a Royal bet can be so exciting. There are hundreds of betting markets to choose from, and it’s a great way to get involved with national celebrations like Royal Weddings.
The choice of markets has expanded in recent years
There is plenty of media coverage of events
Odds are available most of the time
Markets can sometimes take years to settle
Royal Family Tree - Next In Line To The Throne
There is Royal protocol when it comes to who is in line to be the next Monarch. King Charles III was sworn in following the death of his mother - Queen Elizabeth II, and the King will then have to pass away in order for a new King or Queen to be announced.
The succession list is taken very seriously and will not be changed unless there is a death in the family.
