There is nothing like brotherly love, especially when it comes in the form of some good, old-fashioned ribbing.
The world learned that Prince Harry will be an uncle for a second time after Prince William and wife Kate Middleton announced they are expecting their second child. Their son, Prince George, was born last July.
"It's very exciting news," Harry told Yahoo at the launch of the Invictus Games in London on Monday. "I can't wait to see my brother suffer more and, with any luck, if it's a girl then he'll suffer even greater, I think. I'd love to see him try and cope with that."
While little George might look like he could be quite the rascal, Harry thinks the 1-year-old will be "over the moon" to have a sibling. He is, however, concerned about Middleton, who is suffering from severe morning sickness, otherwise known as Hyperemesis Gravidarum.
"In all seriousness, I hope my sister-in-law gets better soon and that the two of them have the opportunity to go through the whole process again with a little bit of peace and quiet," he said. "Last time I saw her she was feeling pretty poorly, but I think that's to be expected. Luckily, I'm not a woman, so I don't have to go through that."
The Duchess of Cambridge was forced to cancel public appearances due to her condition, the Daily Mail noted. She is currently being cared for at Kensington Palace.
Harry is thrilled for his brother, even though William's growing family reduces his chances of becoming king. The new royal baby will be fourth in line to the throne, while Prince Harry will move to fifth in line, according to the Telegraph.
Here's what else we know about baby no. 2, so far:
The baby will be behind its grandad, Prince Charles, its dad, Prince William and its brother Prince George. Its uncle Prince Harry will fall to fifth place.
Yes, yes, this may sound like a dumb thing to say, but it's only the intervention of the Queen that ensured the children of the Cambridges could use these titles. The Queen issued a Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm in December 2012 when Kate was just a few months' pregnant, declaring "all the children of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales should have and enjoy the style, title and attribute of royal highness with the titular dignity of prince or princess prefixed to their Christian names or with such other titles of honour". This nullifed a Letters Patent in 1917, issued by George V, which limited titles within the royal family, meaning a daughter born to William or Kate would not have been an HRH but Lady (forename) Mountbatten-Windsor instead and a second-born son would also have lacked the HRH title and become Lord (forename) Mountbatten-Windsor rather than a prince. William's cousin Princess Eugenie (pictured), who was born in 1990, was the last royal baby to be given the title Princess.
William and Kate's new baby will be a great-grandchild to the Queen and a great-great-great-great-great-grandchild of Queen Victoria.
Unlike Prince George, this Prince or Princess will be free from the responsibility of one day having to become monarch and second-born Royals often have less restricted lives. Prince Harry (pictured) has traditionally been dubbed a party prince in contrast to his older brother William.
never one to miss a cash-in opportunity - Paddy Power is taking bets on the name. We don't know the sex, but the bookies are saying Elizabeth is the favourite
