told the Express.Quinn, who wrote “Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family,” said Harry has always played “second fiddle” to his older brother Prince William, who is first in line to the throne.“You can’t change the fact that William and Kate [Middleton] are number one,” Quinn said.And the feeling of being an afterthought within the monarchy may have contributed to his desire for a fresh take on a relationship, Quinn suggests.“All Harry’s complaining is really about the fact that he’s not number one, he doesn’t have a bigger role,” the expert shared.“It’s obvious when you think about it, but I think she thought she could come into the royal family and be the star.”“And of course, she [Meghan] couldn’t because the monarchial structures are medieval, they’re rigid,” he added.Quinn claims that the pair’s relationship may have kickstarted over Harry’s ongoing royal woes, and Markle’s lust for an “American dream.”Harry, who is currently fifth in line to the throne, left no stone unturned in his bombshell tell-all memoir “Spare,” released in January.In the protocol-shattering book, the exiled prince detailed his experience of feeling second best, and even claimed he was only bred to offer literal spare parts for his brother in case the heir apparent ever needed new organs. “Two years older than me, Willy was the Heir, whereas I was the Spare,” he wrote of his 41-year-old brother William.“I was the shadow, the support, the Plan B.

While speaking to ET Canada’s Cheryl Hickey in a new interview, McConaughey admitted it’s true, explaining: “My family is big on rites of passage and initiation, and you don’t get into the McConaughey family easily.”
“We test you. And even in our own family with my brothers and mother is one of us. Me and my brothers get on our high horse about something,” he continued. “Oh, my family, we humbly wait, we make you cry, and then we pick you up and make your favourite drink, ‘You’re welcome back.’ So there are initiations, rites of passage that my family’s always enjoyed.”
