Oh, brothers. No matter how royal, one sibling is always ready to rib the other.

After news broke that he was going to be an uncle again, Prince Harry told reporters Monday during the Invictus Games that he couldn't wait to see brother Prince William "suffer more."

Presumably Will's cheeky little brother is referring to the sleepless nights, midnight feedings and nappy changes, the built-in chores that come with the joys of parenting.

But of course, Harry also called sister-in-law Kate Middleton's second pregnancy "very exciting news"—because it just is!

Kensington Palace confirmed this morning that another royal baby was on the way, so most commoners in the U.S. awoke to find the rest of the world awash in expectancy excitement.

William told reporters today that he is "thrilled" that he's going to be a father of two.

"If it's a girl...I'd love to see him try and cope with that," Harry also joked with the media. "But in all seriousness, I hope my sister-in-law gets better soon and the two of them have the opportunity to, I suppose, go through the whole thing, the whole process, again in a little bit of peace and quiet!"

As was also the case when she was in the early stages of her pregnancy with Prince George, the Duchess of Cambridge is suffering from Hyperemesis Gravidarum, severe morning sickness that can cause dehydration and requires close monitoring. She is being treated by doctors at Kensington Palace.

"It's a pretty horrible thing to have to go through," Harry agreed, noting that the last time he saw Kate she was "OK," but "she's doing better now."

Asked what advice he could give to his nephew or niece to be about being a younger sibling, Harry said, "There's never a strategy...I think George will be thrilled about having a brother or sister, so we'll wait and see as the family continues to grow."

Reminded that, with the new addition, that his prospects for becoming king one day had been even further reduced, Harry let out a big chuckle and exclaimed, "Great!"

Basically, the strategy for being a younger sibling is to keep one's sense of humor.

Congratulations again to the entire royal family!
