The infamous "heir and spare" relationship defined the sibling relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry, but the royal family adamantly does not want history to repeat itself with the relationship between Prince George (the heir) and his younger siblings, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis (I refuse to call them spares because it is derogatory).Us Weekly reports that the royal family is keeping a close eye on the bond between Prince George and his two younger siblings and does not want "Spare 2.0" (referring to Harry's memoir released earlier this year, which mainly focuses on his complicated relationship with his brother).

"They have to consider George's feelings in his relationship with his brother," says royal expert Christopher Andersen. 'There is a lot of pressure on George. He has two older siblings who can help him, that is, ease the pressure and share the burden."

Coincidentally, while the world certainly loves George, it seems to love Charlotte and Louis just as much: "By the same token, they (Charlotte and Louis) don't want to be sidelined. Andersen said, "By the same token, they [Charlotte and Louis] don't want to feel overshadowed by him."

The royal family wants to avoid the mistakes of the past and "doesn't want another child writing a book or another edition of 'Spare,'" Andersen said. 'Obviously, Harry was very hurt by his brother's shadow. I think they are aware of that."

The childhood shared by William and Harry (the brothers are only two years apart, born in 1982 and 1984, respectively) is a world away from that of George, Charlotte, and Louis: three children and their parents, the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Welsh The family structure is "much healthier than the usual royal family," Andersen says. George has loving parents, and they dote on George and the children," he continued, noting that William and Harry did not have a happy family life. The pressure on William and Harry was so great because of the dynamics in their home life," Andersen said. 'The fact that Princess Diana was so unhappy and [that] Prince Charles was in love with someone else [was] very difficult.'

George, Charlotte, and Louis would have their own challenges, not least of which was an unhappy home life. But they also have to contend with social media, which did not exist when William and Harry were growing up. They have to walk the line of protecting their children's privacy, just as William and Kate do. They] are trying to make sure that their children grow up as normally as possible, but at the same time they are trying to provide the British public and the world with what they are being asked to do: visibility."

As for William and Harry's incessantly fraught relationship, "I don't see anyone offering an olive branch from either side," Andersen says. 'It's as if they've settled on this situation. It's a shame."
