Royal observers believe that Prince William and Kate's heirs will have a more harmonious relationship as new succession rules and their more normal upbringing reduce tension between the eldest and younger siblings.

The 2013 change overturned the rule that gave male heirs precedence over sisters, allowing Princess Charlotte to take the line ahead of her younger brother Louis. Ten-year-old Charlotte is the first to benefit from this type of"reform," which previously restricted Princess Anne and made Prince Andrew next in line to the throne after Charles.

Historians believe this will facilitate harmonious relationships between siblings, as the children are raised as equals with more freedom and choice than their father had. This could break the cycle of family conflict that has been seen since the time of Edward VIII and George VI and continued with Prince Andrew and Charles.

Andrew is often seen as the"next in line to the throne" with more freedom and behavior, which has led to a strained relationship with Charles. Scandals surrounding him, including with Jeffrey Epstein, have finally complicated their relationship, with Prince Andrew being removed from royal life, writes dir.

Similar tensions have been seen between Princes William and Harry. They were close after the death of their mother Diana, but differences in roles and Harry's personal life, including his marriage to Meghan Markle and their withdrawal from royal duties, have led to a rift between the brothers.
