Prince Harry is counting down to the arrival of Prince William and Kate Middleton's second child, but not for the reason you think.

"I can't wait to see my brother suffer more. If it's a girl, he'll suffer even more. I'd love to see him try and cope with that," the 29-year-old royal joked to reporters at the Invictus Games in London on Monday.

Clarence House broke the news that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were expecting their second child in a statement on Monday morning:

"Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting their second child.

The Queen and members of both families are delighted with the news. As with her first pregnancy, The Duchess is suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum.

Her Royal Highness will no longer accompany The Duke of Cambridge on their planned engagement in Oxford today. The Duchess of Cambridge is being treated by doctors at Kensington Palace."


Jokes aside, the spare heir who loves to rib his older brother, revealed that the entire family, including Prince George, is excited to see the royal family expand.

"It's very exciting news. [George] will be over the moon having a younger brother or sister."

Harry also addressed the Duchess of Cambridge's health and reported that his sister-in-law's pregnancy hasn't been easy.

"In all seriousness, I hope my sister-in-law gets better soon," he said. "The last time I saw her, she was okay. 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. It's a pretty horrible thing."

With the news of another baby on the way, this officially bumps Prince Harry down to fifth in line for the throne.
