Son to the king, older by 1 minute, you are heir to the throne. While nobility has its drawbacks, you definitely benefit from it. Even as a young, reckless prince your name carries weight. While you respect your twin brother, he will never know the weight of being heir to the throne. You envy him in that way, but at the same time you don't really care about your royalty, and you often speak what you say instead of being political. This has lessened your favor among nobles, but has actually slightly increased your favor with commoners. You don't care that you are heir, most of the time and mostly just go on adventurers and mess around. You could care less that you are heir to the throne, even though it constantly shapes your life.
