Variegation or not?

I got a few wagnerianus x princeps sprouting and one of them seems to show some variegation. What do you guys think?

Yes it is variegation.  What I can tell you is that many palms will throw a variegated frond or two but it isn't stable so they end up being regular green in most instances.  I have a needle palm that so far has thrown two variegated leaves, not back to back.  However there are variegated Trachycarpus but they seem to be extremely rare.  Only time will tell if its stable.

Great, fingers crossed it will keep its variegation!

That would be so cool if it continued . I’ve never seen one of those variegated. Harry

The second leaf is not showing any variegation, is there a chance that it will come back in the future?

Read or re-read @Chester B statement above, after your original post.

You are right, it is probably not coming back, but I still have some hope that this is an exception. I’ve seen a few examples of variegated seedlings that also have some non-variated leaflets.

Yes, there's definitely a chance that it will have more variegated leaves!  Sometimes they only put out variegated leaves on one side of the palm, or every few leaves has a bit of variegation to it.  Trachycarpus has a tendency to revert back to all green frequently though after starting out variegated.
