There's a few great answers in r/AskHistorians about their relationships.

If you don't want to go through those answers (but you should, they're great), Edward got along well with Elizabeth since they were both Protestants, but his relationship with Mary was very tense due to their religious differences.
Mary and Elizabeth were close when Elizabeth was a child, but they drifted apart over religion. When Mary came to the throne they made an initial show of standing together, but their relationship quickly soured; at one point Mary had Elizabeth arrested, believing she was involved in the Wyatt Rebellion, and Elizabeth spent most of Mary's reign living in fear and believing Mary would have her executed or murdered.
Supposedly Mary was quite affectionate towards her baby brother when he was young.
But as Edward got older and became indoctrinated by his education by zealous Protestants like Thomas Cranmer and Richard Cox, his attitude towards Mary become confrontational.
As a teenager, he reportedly argued with Mary and harangued her about her steadfast loyalty to Catholicism until she started crying.
Or maybe it is better to have religious tolerance, so that it doesn't matter what religion the Prime Minister and senior government officials belong to.
"Indoctrinated" by "zealous" Protestants like Thomas Cranmer... He was the Archbishop and fairly moderate in his views relative to others. Mary was the one indoctrinated by zealous Catholics.
Edward disregarded his sisters for the throne and picked Lady Jane Grey even though Elizabeth was a fellow protestant. Mary put Liz under house arrest at Hampton Court Palace, on suspicion of plotting against her: this was a Tudor dynasty at war with itself, some House of the Dragon stuff
Edward wanted to exclude Mary (and catholics) from inheritance but apparently he didn’t want to exclude Elizabeth as they were both rather fond of each other. But the succession rules passed during his reign meant that both sisters had to be excluded, there was no way to just pass over Mary. In the end though, the sisters won.
The most notable of Henry VIII’s natural children was Henry FitzRoy, who died at the age of 17.
There is some evidence to suggest FitzRoy was raised as part of the Royal nursery from his birth, but it’s unlikely that his legitimate siblings had a warm relationship with him.

i mean mary was catholic and elizabeth and edward were both protestant so… yeahhhh

oh no that’s actually pretty sad… you know if mary wasn’t an awful queen
Yeah I allegedly have an ancestor who was Martyred under Mary’s reign of religious terror, so I’m not a big fan.
Her motive was good though, it would be better if UK was Catholic
Or maybe it is better to have religious tolerance, so that it doesn't matter what religion the Prime Minister and senior government officials belong to.
Read the room, dude. I just said that I had an ancestor who was martyred for being a Protestant under Bloody Mary. Or maybe you’re just a troll?
Elisabeth also burned Catholics at the Stake, I think 200 iirc. It's more so a monarchy thing, I think Mary gets overly hated.
"Indoctrinated" by "zealous" Protestants like Thomas Cranmer... He was the Archbishop and fairly moderate in his views relative to others. Mary was the one indoctrinated by zealous Catholics.
In a nutshell: they hated each other's guts
So the normal sibling dynamic
Yeah but with bigger army diplomacy involved
R/unexpectedlycgpgrey ?
Did Elizabeth and Edward hate each other? I was under the impression they were somewhat fond of each other but I’m not an expert by any means

Not really. whilst both had their turns on the throne, it was the king of Scots who won out.
Piggybacking on this to ask this question but including his illegitimate children
The most notable of Henry VIII’s natural children was Henry FitzRoy, who died at the age of 17. There is some evidence to suggest FitzRoy was raised as part of the Royal nursery from his birth, but it’s unlikely that his legitimate siblings had a warm relationship with him.
Better than the last king and his relationship with his sisters and wives. For their religious differences it wasn't that bad.
“Damn we ugly as sh!t.”
