It is amazing how quickly a betting market can change and James Bond novelty betting markets can change like the wind. Meghan Markle has jumped into the spotlight with the American actress confirming her relationship with Prince Harry this week. So it has been a sudden rise in interest on the actress and Paddy Power have made her a 10/1 front runner to be the Next Bond Girl.
The actress is being seen heavily in the British media now because of her royal romance and that is something that the James Bond franchise could easily capitalise on by pulling the new “it girl” into the movie. Before this week, Markle was a 100/1 outsider to star in the role opposite Bond. The high profile that she has right now could land her the choice role.

But it is not just in the Bond Girl Betting market that you have wagering interest on Markle, because Paddy Power have launched some special Meghan Markle betting markets. For Example they have put a price of 6/1 on Markle and Prince Harry having a Royal baby next year.
Spokesman Paddy Power said: “Meghan’s certainly best known for looking slick in US TV show Suits, so her power dressing would fit right in as a James Bond sidekick.
“And a potential on-screen romance with Daniel Craig would have plenty of credibility – as she’s first-hand experience of canoodling with British royalty.”
