| Length of Relationship: | A Lifetime |
| First Appearance: | Welcome To Versailles |
Louis XIV and his brother have a tense relationship and much like most siblings they do not always see eye to eye. Louis envies Philippe's freedom and wishes he could have the same, but as King, he cannot.
Like any other sibling relationship, theirs is turbulent and at times heated. They hardly ever see eye to eye, which can make both frustrated, especially when it comes to war. Philippe often feels overshadowed and overlooked by his brother because of his effeminacy, but seeks freedom where he is permitted. Their relationship improves greatly over the course of Season 3, wherein they come together to tackle the issue of the Man in the Iron Mask.
