This is the same thing applied to Bluebloods situation as my little headcanon. Blueblood always tries to get Celestias attention. Though she wouldnt give the amount of attention he wanted, he would passed it off as shes tired or busy, and keeps on trying. But when a new celestial pupil, Twilight Sparkle stays in the castle, Blueblood noticed that Celestia always spends her time with Twilight. Giving the filly more attention than him. He feels a twinge of sadness and jealousy but pushes it away with a thought of Twilight will leave soon. But days turns to weeks to months to years, she stills here. Celestia ever so attentive of her antics. The grown Blueblood turns cold and hate the purple mare. When Twilight was send to Ponyville for the Summer Sun Celebration, he thought its over and that he could finally have Celestias attention but no. Instead, the alicorn keeps on talking about how smart and talented Twilight is and that he should be like her. The pains for all those years finally get to him and shatters his heart. He turns into a rude snob and cold-heart towards Twilight, Celestia and anypony that has to do with them, including Rarity at the Galloping Gala.

Don’t worry, I was only joking anyhow^^

Certainly one of the better explanations out there. Of course, he would actually be king then—King of the Unicorns—but perhaps Sombra’s existence made the term unfavourable. Like calling your child ‘Adolf’, even though it’s a perfectly servicaeble name.

That’s actually really darn good, too. And I’ll have to remember the term “headfanon”, as that is more accurate.

I exist, probably.

My head-fanon for Blueblood is that Celestia and Luna were not born Alicorns/Princesses and rose to the position the same way Twilight and Cadence did, however when Cel and Luna took over from Queen Platinum the Queen still kept her bloodline in royalty and that is where Blueblood comes from, and possibly why Celestia and Luna don’t take title of Queen.

“Starswirl the Bearded” started off as a throwaway name, literally “obscure unicorn history”…but then later on in the season, suddenly he was this ultra-important historic figure, completely out of nowhere.
 
Having a “character arc” about Blueblood in the given fashion would be the same thing. Having him start off as a 1shot jerk character and then having him suddenly be some kind of major villain? wat.

On the other hand, we’ve not spent much time with Celestia, and when we have it’s pretty much always been when she’s with Twilight.
 
Still, my headcanon for Blueblood has always been that he’s very distantly related to Celestia (think how distant Pinkie’s supposed connection to Applejack is, yet she’s still called “cousin”), but plays up that distant relation to inflate his own importance among the Canterlot elite. (And I fully realize that if Blueblood is ever used again, this headcanon is likely to become null and void, so I don’t cling to it very tightly.)

But it is odd that she has never even mentioned nor interacted with him when he is supposedly her nephew. Then again, Cadance and Celestia have barely interacted, despite Cadance being Celestia’s niece. Just how many nieces and nephews does Celestia have? And is she actually close to any of them?

There’s a reason I replied to that specific comment: it’s the one that explicitly blamed Celestia for Blueblood’s jealousy. There are ways to reach the pictured scenario without dumping the blame on Celestia (e.g., Blueblood, used to having most of Celestia’s spare time to himself, resented having to share it with Cadance, Twilight, Spike, and later, Luna); instead, albert19 decided that Celestia unjustly ignored Blueblood for her newer relationships.
