After the necessity to suddenly pull out from a public appearance, Prince William and Kate Middleton were compelled to publicly announce that they are expecting a second child. Hence, the Duchess' absence from the prior public engagement was attributed to the same acute sickness she suffered from during her first pregnancy. As described by Prince Harry, the Duchess has been "pretty poorly". However, he shared that his sister-in-law is "doing the best she can" given her present condition. In addition, Prince Harry said that he wishes for his brother and sister-in-law to have some privacy with respect to dealing with the coming of the second child. "I hope the two of them have the opportunity to go through the process again with a little bit of peace and quiet," he stated.

Following the announcement of the couple, Prince Harry described the declaration as "very exciting news". Moreover, the prince expressed his eagerness to watch his older brother Prince William endure additional fatherhood-related challenges. "I can't wait to see my brother suffer more," he laughingly told reporters. Prince Harry even jokingly shared that he would "love to see him [Prince William] try and cope" with having a daughter for a second child.   

When asked if he had any advice to the second child or shared any "strategy" to cope as a younger sibling, Prince Harry said he had none. "There's never a strategy. I think George will be over the moon. I think he will be thrilled having another small younger brother or sister," he replied.
