Prince George may be the heir to the throne as the eldest of the three children of the Prince and Princess of Wales, but his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, appear to be being raised as equals in an effort to eliminate the "heir and spare" relationship that plagued Prince William and his brother Prince Harry. (He seems to be trying to eliminate the "heir and spare" relationship that plagued Prince William and his brother Prince Harry (he titled his memoir "Spare" because of the great impact the latter had on him.)

The Welsh trio seems to be being groomed to lead the monarchy as a "collective" in the future, reports the Daily Express. According to royal biographer Katie Nicol, George faces "greater pressure" than Charlotte and Louis because of his position as heir to the throne, something that "William and Kate are acutely aware of." (This is "something William and Kate are acutely aware of," she says (apparently the two are currently having a bit of a disagreement over George's role in the upcoming coronation of his grandfather, King Charles, as Marie Claire recently reported.)

"George knows that one day he will be king, just like his dad," Nicole says.

Roya Nikka, royal editor of The Sunday Times, told "True Royalty TV's" The Royal Beat that William and Kate want George's role at the coronation to be "fairly modest. But his role in the official ceremony may be smaller."

George is not the only one with a role in the coronation. Charlotte and Louis will also have roles, although they will not be as large as their older brothers. The three Welsh children will ride with their parents in the carriage procession from Westminster Abbey to Buckingham Palace, passing directly behind the gold state coach carrying King Charles and Queen Camilla. Upon arrival at the Palace, the five members of the Welsh family will step out onto the balcony, as they did during the Platinum Jubilee last June.

According to the Mirror, Louis' participation in the coronation is especially important. Royal family expert Angela Mollard says this is an effort to avoid Louis feeling left out and to avoid a rift between the brothers. Says Mollard, "George needs to be supported and sustained by his brothers." The entire Welsh family brand is, "We are a family and we do everything together." We don't want a branch of the family like Harry's in the future." By making sure Louis has memories of the coronation, he and Charlotte will support him when his brother assumes that role."

She continues.

William and Kate would like to keep George, Charlotte, and Louis as equal as possible, but the reality is that "George's royal fate is set. Charlotte is more flexible. For example, as Prince Andrew, the third prince born to Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth, has leapfrogged his sister Princess Anne in the line of succession after Prince Charles. While Charlotte could potentially carve out a life outside the royal family, many argue that she is poised to become a successful, active royal.

Royal author Tom Quinn "likens Charlotte's seemingly down-to-earth and confident personality to that of her great-aunt, Princess Anne, and says that the seven-year-old may play a role similar to the one Princess Anne plays for the royal family and the king, and that 'Princess She also said she might accept the title of 'Princess Royal'," the Daily Express reported.

"Princess Anne has never really struggled," Quinn said. 'She is known to be quite supportive of Prince Charles. She is tougher than Prince Charles and has always thought she would never be the monarch. I think something similar will happen with the younger generation." Quinn said there is "definitely a parallel" between Anne and Charlotte, who consistently takes on the most engagements each year as an active royal, adding that Charlotte seemed "more confident in herself (than George), more centered, more grounded," and that Charlotte seemed to be a brother concluded that Charlotte would be a "really good" support for her brother.

Quinn says that Lewis risks feeling like a "lost soul" as a "double spare."

"Like all royal children, he will soon be living a life of luxury, but he cannot escape it and lead an ordinary life. He will never be a monarch."

But William and Kate will learn from the past and take steps to ensure that Louis does not fall into the trap of the "lost spare" that has come before him, Quinn says: "The royal family is aware of the mistakes they made in the past, especially in raising their children, so they will make sure that Louis feels lost I think they will go to great lengths to make sure that Louis doesn't feel lost," Quinn says. And I think it will be easier for Kate and William to do so, partly because the world has changed so much." Even since William and Harry were very young, the world has changed a lot." [William and Kate are trying to give their three children as normal a life as possible, and their move last year from an apartment at Kensington Palace in London to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor was a decision initiated by the children. Royal family expert Kinsey Schofield says the crown prince and princess want to break the cycle of heirship and thrift for their children.

"There's this heir-sparee dynamic that we've been talking about for the last few years, where the sparee trope is completely lost and they get into trouble," she says, citing Princess Margaret (the late His Majesty's sister), Andrew and Harry. 'I don't think that will happen to Prince William's children. I think they will break this cycle. I think they will stop talking about spares, and I think the 'need' for spares will end."[8 [While Scofield believes that Charlotte and Louis can find work they are passionate about rather than as active members of the royal family, Margaret was an active royal, as were all four of the Queen's children, and so was Harry before he abdicated in 2020. Especially as Louis gets older, all three, as well as George, are attending more and more events like the Platinum Jubilee and the upcoming coronation. Louis, who is three years younger than Charlotte, has been deemed too young to attend royal events, and until now, George and Charlotte have generally been the pairing, with George rarely attending royal events without Charlotte. Now that Louis is about to turn five, the three of them will attend together.

"A more collective approach could be quite popular," says royal writer Pauline McLellan. Why only one figurehead?' Perhaps a more familial aspect might be emphasized. It might put more emphasis on the three children of the Welsh family, in particular, rather than on the individual,' she says. Of course, constitutionally, they cannot all be kings or queens, but I think the role of the three children of the Welsh family could be considered more clearly."
