Royal Baby Has 50/50 Chance of Being Red-haired

There is a one in two chance that Prince William will father a ginger-haired baby, according to scientists.

More than 5,000 Brits were tested for their ancestral DNA and an extraordinary 38.3 percent were found to carry the red-haired gene.


But experts said that the odds of the royal baby having ginger locks are higher because a close relative, Prince Harry, is a redhead, the Daily Star reported.

Despite the experts' view, bookies William Hill are quoting odds of 8-1 on the baby being ginger.
