Betting on the royal baby was a hot market a week ago - including bets on a royal princess.

Alexandra, Charlotte, and Diana were the favourites...
And for good reason: back in March someone thought they heard Kate Middleton say she was having a daughter...
Which was then widely reported.

So it made sense for one company to order 5,000 commemorative princess plates, right?

Suddenly that bet doesn't look as smart.
5,000 plates is A LOT. Especially when they're wrong.
So after you smash a bunch of them in anger...
You try and make a little money back by selling 50 of them at a time for £150.
Maybe this clown might be interested.
The end.
If you're a clown, you can pick up your own commemorative plates here.
