* Throughout his memoir ''Spare'', [[UsefulNotes/TheBritishRoyalFamily Prince Harry]] revealed that contrary to close-knit relationship frequently promoted by the media for decades, his relationship with his brother William was far more akin to this, possibly to the point of BigBrotherBully, even explicitly saying so during his ''Series/SixtyMinutes'' interview to promote the book, at one point describing him as "my beloved brother, my archnemesis". Harry resented being relentlessly treated as TheUnfavorite simply because he was born second while William resented (a) that Harry got to serve on the front lines in Afghanistan (as heir, he wasn't allowed to place himself in such danger), (b) Harry's founding of the [[https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invictus_Games Invictus Games]], to the point of trying to interfere with it--Harry outright describes William's jealousy over this as this trope, and (c) that Harry got to wear his beard for his wedding,[[note]] soldiers are forbidden to wear a beard while in uniform, but Harry had asked his [[UsefulNotes/ElizabethII grandmother]] for permission to keep his [[/note]] to the point of pettily demanding that Harry shave it, even threatening to forcibly do it, all because he hadn't been allowed to keep his, and even hit him during an argument. Despite all this, it's still clear that as stated, Harry loves his brother deeply--something else he explicitly said during that very same interview--with the two of them even exchanging an AnguishedDeclarationOfLove in the midst of yet another argument, perfectly demonstrating the dual nature of their relationship.
