The "Heir and the Spare" is a Toxic Sibling Dynamic. How Sick and Oblivious Can Parents Be?

 Parents Need to do a Better Job of Protecting Kids From Toxic Sibling Dynamics

That the British royal family still practices this "heir and spare" religion is beyond the pale. How can people in this day and age encourage this kind of toxic relationship between their children and then turn around and get upset when the children are not happy? 


How oblivious do you have to be to see that this dynamic is toxic and not in the best interest of your children? How dysfunctional do you have to be? Sure the public loves it because the whole thing is theatre to them. It is not their life. What the hell do they care how the spare feels? The "Spare" is not even a person to them. He or she is an idea, and object of their gaping and ridicule and amusement. What the hell do they care?

But you would expect parents to care and you would expect in 2022 that they would put a stop to this nonsense. The whole entire premise upon which the monarchy is based is archaic and toxic and not in the best interest of children who are in "line to the throne." The Harry's and the Andrews and the Princess Margarets. These human beings who have to live this, and be the brunt of this. How can any parent not see the damage that is done to these children? How could they continue it? How could they be so insensitive?

It is beyond me.
