National Siblings Day

Every year on April 10th, National Siblings Day (also known as Sibling Day) honors our brothers and sisters.

They can be our worst enemies or best friends. Siblings can occasionally serve as our fiercest rivals, best cheerleaders, and keep us accountable for our most embarrassing behaviors.

The best way to describe siblings who are rivals and best friends at the same time is through fictional characters. Katniss risks her life in The Hunger Games to save her sister Prim. In The Dukes of Hazzard, Bo and Luke Duke both put their lives in danger for the other. Beezus and Ramona's protracted love-hate relationship between siblings was portrayed in author Beverly Cleary's book as a typical childhood tormented by angst.

actual royal children The rules that Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret had to abide by made their relationship very dissimilar from what we would consider normal. That is what being a queen does.

Princes William and Harry, Queen Elizabeth's grandsons, and William's offspring also have prominent royal sibling relationships.

There have also been many presidents who have siblings. William Jefferson Clinton has three siblings compared to George W. Bush's five.
