Celebrities and members of the royal family have been getting into the spirit of Pancake Day, otherwise known as Shrove Tuesday, including Sarah, Duchess of York.

The Duchess shared a fun boomerang-style video on Instagram of her successfully flipping a pancake, surrounded by some of her children's books, and at HELLO! HQ we couldn't help but wonder if one of them is a hint to Princess Eugenie's baby's name

The royal, 30, welcomed her first child with Jack Brooksbank on 9 February and the couple are still to announce what they have called their son.

One of the bookies' favourites for the royal tot is Arthur and in the corner of Sarah's video, her book Arthur Fantastic can be seen. 

While it might be purely coincidental, it's the only boy's name that can be seen among the titles of her children's novels.

The rest include Holly's First Day At School, Little Red's Summer Adventure and Budgie The Little Helicopter

Sarah's character Arthur Fantastic is a unicorn, who feels like an outsider in the meadow where the horses see only his difference and not his magnificence. He goes in search of his own happiness in the Magic Forest and meets all manner of creatures.
