"I'm one of six [siblings]," Elizabeth, 36, told Jenna Bush Hager and guest co-host (and twin sister!) Barbara Bush. "I loved it, especially being the baby. I really enjoyed it."

"I also really admire the partnership that [Mary-Kate and Ashley] have and don't compete with it, in a way. It's something different," she continued. "It's a really interesting thing to watch. I admire it; it's a different kind of connection."

While Elizabeth has much admiration for her child-star-turned-fashion-designer older sisters, the WandaVision alum previously revealed that she considered using her middle name — Chase — when she became an actress, in an attempt to avoid "nepotism" that could come along with being Mary-Kate and Ashley's younger sibling.

"I was 10 and I was curious about auditioning … and I realized very quickly it wasn't for me because I was missing my sports teams, my dance class and all the extracurricular activities at school," Elizabeth told Glamour UK's digital April 2021 issue of her early interest in the industry.

"But during that time, I thought, 'I don't want to be associated with [Mary-Kate and Ashley],' for some reason," she continued. "I guess I understood what nepotism was like inherently as a 10-year-old. I don't know if I knew the word, but there is some sort of association of not earning something that I think bothered me at a very young age."

While Elizabeth admitted the realization "had to do with [her] own insecurities," she remembered thinking as a child, " 'I'm going to be Elizabeth Chase when I become an actress.' "

In a May 2022 interview with Harper's Bazaar on her life and booming career, Elizabeth later shared what it was like growing up with two of Hollywood's most famous twins.

"I always felt that having older twin sisters was an advantage," she said at the time. "I felt very clear about how I was going to navigate lots of things because of watching them. I also felt very protected."

Though she noted the 38-year-old twins' connection is impossible to match, she told the magazine that their proximity in age felt like she, Ashley and Mary-Kate were a trio.

"There's something that I'll never experience of that connection, but I feel lucky to be witness to it," Elizabeth said. "I actually think it's an amazing feeling, being the younger sibling to twin sisters. If I was spoiled by one, the other wanted to match it. I loved it."
