Since they have moved into the property the odds of the couple announcing a baby next year have risen.
Betway claim the royal couple are 2/1 to be expecting in 2020 following the £2.4 million Frogmore Cottage renovation.
The Duchess of Sussex is now just 2/1 with Betway to fall pregnant with her and Prince Harry’s second baby as early as next year.
The latest rumours of an extension to the home of the family-of-three comes as royal accounts have revealed a significant multi-million pound renovation to their Windsor residence.
The online bookmaker offers 10/1 for Meghan and Harry to announce they are expecting a little brother or sister for their son Archie before the end of 2019.
It’s 6/4 for the Duke & Duchess of Sussex to hold off for number two until 2021.
Betway’s Alan Alger said: “Once Harry and Meghan have settled down after the arrival of Archie in early May, everyone will be guessing as to whether and when the next one will be on its way.
“Significant renovations suggest that Frogmore Cottage is going to be the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s residence for a long time to come and we make it just 2/1 that they fill another room with their second baby by the end of next year.”
Odds of Duke and Duchess of Sussex to announce second baby in:
2019 – 10/1
2020 – 2/1
2021 – 6/4
How much Harry and Meghan’s renovations cost compared to Kate and William’s?
Frogmore Cottage, the cost of which is estimated to reach £3 million, had been split into five residences, however, the huge house has been turned back into one large home for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
New beams and floor joists were put in, as were entirely new gas and water mains installed.
The home also has all new bathrooms and a brand new kitchen with a “floating” floor.
There is new eco-heating, likely in line with Meghan’s eco-friendly ethics. Soundproof windows are said to have set the couple back £350,000.
In comparison Kate Middleton and Prince William’s Anmer Hall renovation cost £1.5 million.
The Anmer Hall renovations were extensive but cost half of what Frogmore Cottage is said to have cost.
The roof was replaced, which is said to have cost £500,000. Old rotted window frames were replaced with new windows at £100,000.
A garden room for the family to enjoy was added on to the property, at a cost of £250,000 and £300,000.

They married on May 19, 2018 at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle.
Meghan’s heritage

Historians are still arguing about Queen Charlotte, the wife of King George III.
But Meghan will be the first royal to openly embrace a mixed-race heritage.
She has written about the difficulties of being a biracial actress in Hollywood as she claims she is not black enough for some roles and not white enough for others.
