Ladbrokes had been offering 5/1 that Wills and Kate would make the announcement before the end of the month and the Magic Sign admit that they have been caught out by the news being leaked early.David Williams of Ladbrokes told Bettingpro: 'We're delighted for the couple but we've shelled out a fortune.
