Duchess Meghan, wife of the British Prince, is pregnant.
"The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are overjoyed that they are expecting their second child," said a spokesman for the couple on Sunday evening.
"We can confirm that Archie will be a big brother." Harry (36) and Meghan (39) had a black and white photo sent in which the couple can be seen under a tree.
Meghan's head rests in Harry's lap, her right hand rests on her - already clearly visible - baby bump.
The first son Archie will be two years old in May.
For Harry's grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, the baby is the fifth great-grandson.
The family cannot see each other at the moment: Harry and Meghan had given up their royal duties a good year ago and moved to the USA.
Because of the Corona crisis, you cannot currently travel to Great Britain.
Harry's older brother William and his wife Kate have three children: George, Charlotte and Louis.

Meghan had reported in an article for the "New York Times" in November that she had suffered a miscarriage after Archie.
Most recently, the American had won an important victory in her fight against the tabloids.
A court in London ruled in favor of the 39-year-olds to shorten the proceedings against the "Mail on Sunday" considerably.
This not only spares Meghan further public hearings with spicy details from the ongoing dispute with her father, Thomas Markle, the court also found her right on almost every line.
