Definitely. Blueblood can be an absolutely fascinating character if he’s done right, like in this.
I know it seems weird posting this after 4 years, but it reminds me of a line from G3:
“A princess (Well, Prince in this case) can have friends, just no equals.”
Shining Armor is probably the first time Blueblood has had an equal. Socially and political the princesses are above him and everyone else below. Making a friend is much easier when you stand on equal ground.
In a sense. Growing up in a place where ponies fall in one of two categories, namely
A) Royalty
B) Servants (including guards)
probably leads to something like it, yeah. So, him treating Rarity like a maid rather than a date would make sense to him. She’s clearly not a princess, right?
Also, it’s a little funny if one keeps in mind that it’s the same mare who did this:

your current filter.crippling overspecialization?
It’s dealing with commoners that’s problematic. So he usually doesn’t. When he tries, well… angry mares and cake on his coat.
Edited
I was thinking more of Dr. House
he’s an a-hole but he’s the a-hole that will save your life so you have to roll with it and be happy.
I guess. An example would be Prince/King Wu from Legend of Korra - while not necessarily a genius, he’s insufferable in casual situations, but knows what he’s doing and when to take a situation seriously.
‘insufferable genius’ kind of deal?
I see it as more-like being a spoiled brat that earned it. Where a spoiled brat is just given everything they want without even trying, a spoiled brat that earned it is someone who gets whatever they want, but either worked hard to get to that stage, or just has the skills to still be useful so no one can really complain.
“It ain’t bragging if you can back it up”?
Actually, I’ve found that some of the most jerkish, snobbish people I know happen to be very good at what they do.
AND THEY KNOW IT.
I’ve always felt that, as somepony raised a prince, it’s only natural he has skills at leading other ponies, be they soldiers or workers, and as a diplomat.
Being rude to somepony at a party doesn’t mean you’re incompetent :P (besides, Rarara was totes shallow in that ep)
Suck it, some five years of fan abuse!
