With the news that the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, is [pregnant](http://time.com/3300800/royal-baby-kate-middleton-duke-duchess-cambridge/ "undefined") with a second royal baby, a new biography of Prince Harry sheds light on the evolution of his relationship with his older brother, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, since the birth of Prince George last July.

“It’s fantastic to have an addition to the family,” Harry said about his nephew, as royal-family biographer Penny Junor writes in _Prince Harry: Brother, Soldier, Son_. “I only hope my brother knows how expensive my baby-sitting charges are.”

And if Will’s change in behavior since George’s birth is any indication, the birth of his second child will likely mean Will and Harry will spend less time playing around with friends at clubs and more time playing with babies. Junor writes in _Prince Harry_:

> “”

The biography quotes “a friend” adding that Prince Harry “loves” having dinner with Will, Kate and George and says that’s basically what the brothers’ nights out are like now, even though Harry [does not appear to show signs of settling down](http://www.vanityfair.com/online/daily/2014/08/prince-harry-camilla-thurlow-new-girlfriend "undefined") himself anytime soon.

> “”

The book will be [released tomorrow](http://www.amazon.com/dp/1455549835/?tag=timecom-20 "undefined"), ahead of Prince Harry’s 30th birthday next week.
