Some Royal Family members appear to dislike being labeled as the "spare." Others, meanwhile, seem glad to avoid the responsibilities facing the heir apparent. According to one royal expert, one of Queen Elizabeth's children didn't like the so-called "royal pecking order" for an important reason.
In her book, My Mother and I, royal expert Ingrid Seward shared, "For 20 years, [ex-]Prince Andrew enjoyed basking in the glow of being the spare behind his older brother Prince Charles and in front of his sister Princess Anne. Andrew could be charming but he was spoiled, pampered, and...nothing was ever his fault."
