Specials Betting: Prince Harry's next girlfriend

dasH

Jeepers, batten down the hatches and lock up one's daughters! After splitting with his girlfriend at the weekend Prince Harry is already riffling through his little black book to ponder his next move. And fittingly enough, Paddy Power have opened a book of their own on this specials betting market, providing odds on which lucky Lady will be next in line to, erm, His Majesty.

According to reports, the Prince split with his Zimbabwean girlfriend of three years, Chelsy Davy, at the weekend - a break-up that is sure to boost the hopes of hundreds of wannabe princesses, not to mention the coffers of a nightclub near you - assuming you live in Kensington, Chelsea or Belgravia. It has also prompted Paddy Power to offer odds on who will become Dirty Harry's latest conquest.

At 7/1 Gabriella 'Bumpy' Calthorpe, an 18-year-old model who recently appeared second on Tatler's Top 200 most eligible list behind Harry's very own cousin, is the early market leader. Will she give the Ginger One a bumpy ride or will it be her actress sister Isabella, a 16/1 shot with Paddy Power, to enjoy an opening night with the Royal?

TV presenter Natalie Pinkham, who has been heavily linked with Harry over recent months, is a handily-placed 8/1 second favourite and Sir Richard Branson's daughter Holly is in close attendance at 10s with Paddy Power, alongside Amber Le Bon, who is following in her mother Yasmin's footsteps in the modelling world.

Needless to say Hollywood actress Jessica Alba (80/1), Paris Hilton (100/1), self-confessed Royal aficionado Britney Spears (500/1) and of course Prince William's very own girlfriend Kate Middleton (also 500/1) are also in this punter's pick of posh perfection.

Paddy Power's Darren Haines summed it up best of all when he said: "Speculation amongst punters could be as volatile a market as something like the next England manager, fluctuating with the comings and goings of each girl as they jostle for pole position." Nicely put.

Bumpy Calthorpe @ 7/1; Natalia Pinkham @ 8/1; @ Holly Branson, Amber Le Bon, Poppy Delevigne 10/1; Louise Griffths @ 12/1; Fiona Scarry @ 14/1; Isabella Calthorpe, Alice Rothschild @ 16/1; Sarah Harding, Lauren Pope @ 25/1; Olympia Scarry @ 28/1; Gemma Atkinson @ 33/1; Sienna Miller @ 40/1; selected others Jessica Alba @ 80/1; Paris Hilton @ 100/1; Danielle Lloyd @ 250/1; Britney Spears, Kate Middleton @ 500/1 (Odds by Paddy Power
