I don’t think he ever actually had a chance at the crown; He was born before his mother married the crown prince. His younger siblings would have a potential claim since they’re the prince’s kids, but he wouldn’t any claim since he’s not the prince’s child. He’s even excluded from some of the royal portraits.
I don’t think he really has a position of power. And it could well be that this costs him the chance for the crown.
He has no ties at all into royalty. He can never be royalty unless he forms an army and goes to war for the Crown or something.
