Young Royals - "Episode 4" - REACTION! 

I just love them so much, MY HEART!😭

@@HarryAllen9 There's a fan theory, that as much as he tells Simon to delete the texts, he can't make himself do it, and he backs out of deleting Simon's number rather than hitting confirm.

Verdade, eu também notei :)

@@treetzar1107 true but it sounds so cute that he could remember simons number even high like awwwwwww

Or he just looked it up on "last dialed number" ❤

Oh my god how did that not occur to me!!! that makes it even cuter!

God, I’d feel so bad for Linda if *the Crown Prince* showed up drunk and high, completely out of it on her doorstep. 　- - Like, just imagine it’s like 2am and someone knocks on your door, you open it and there’s the crown Prince, and I can imagine him immediately being like “Hi Linda.. where’s Simon..?” probably swaying back and forth, holding onto to wall for support. Also, she was in an abusive relationship with an alcoholic/drug addict, she would *absolutely* know that he was drunk and high (and she’d definitely be firmly anti-Wille if he did any of what I just described).

ITS TRUE

THIS

accurate

Edvin has anxiety in real life and this is why I find it important that more shows and movies 1) write characters with emotional and mental disorders, without making their story revolve around it 2) cast actors with these disorders both because these actors tend to be passed over in casting as well as because actors casted to play characters with disorders they have themselves can use their own experiences to more accurately portray the symptoms on screen I love that wille’s anxiety was never the entire focus of his story. Because obviously people are more than their illnesses or their disorders. Much better representation than Ian from shameless, whose bipolar disorder was literally the whole focus of his characters storyline in season 4.

Edvin Ryding (Wilhelm) has been acting since he was a child and you are right, he is a pro even though he is still a teen. Omar Rudberg (Simon) has a successful music career, he used to be in a Swedish boy band. This is his acting debut though he did such an amazing job it's hard to believe. And Malte Gårdinger (August) is also amazing. If you watch interviews with him he is the polar opposite of August. To be able to pull off such a part and make everyone hate you must be one of the hardest things, I imagine. Bottom line: the casting was on point, not only for these three.

5 is absolutely amazing simply for all the adorable moments (◍•ᴗ•◍)

Episodes 4 and 5 are my favourite too! So many feelings!

I’m super late but, this actually isn’t entirely true. Most of the football (soccer) field scene isn’t improvised, it’s the ‘everything is fake’ line that’s improvised (which makes me think that Edvin was told about the metaphor in that scene (football = real, rowing = fake/superficial)).

Without Malte/August YR wouldnt be as good..he is the most complex and insercure character..I hope we get more of him..great acting here too❤

As a Swede, we wouldn´t mind a crown prince/king being gay

@@ann-christinenilsson4046 if history (and rumors) is correct, King Gustav V was either gay or bi.

@@timothymcclaire3276 Yes, we know :)

They have said they had an amazing intimacy coach on set that really helped them. It's such a new job but seems vital when compared to tv shows without one.

Ooooo thats so interesting! Never even thought about something like that

Aww thank you that means a lot!!

Thank you, appreciate it!

omg I feel you so much. No one I know is obsessed with this show as much as I am. Not even my boyfriend (I'm a guy), he didn't like it that much. I mean obviously just cause you're gay doesn't mean you'll like the show but still... Actually thought of dumping him but that's a bit too much 🤣 I've never been obsessed with a show ever. Not like this. :')

Aww I appreciate it! And yeah I feel you, none of my friends get quite as obsessed as I do with shows hehe

Aww thank you, appreciate it!

Totally, totally agree! I‘m also a little older 😅 (Whatever that means…) and I see things from a different kind of view. I need and hope for a character development by August!!!

@@helise-ji9jy Yes, me too! I would trust the writers to make it a good one, not redemption for redemption's sake but something really routed in the character. Malte, August's actor called August "punchable" and "fragile" and I find that very on point and very insightful. I have to remember that one scene, because I haven't seen anyone pick up on it, when Wilhelm and August were outside after the society scene (peeing against the wall, before the football field scene) and Wilhelm tells of his guilt about having told his brother to go faster with his car and August comments "That's exactly what happened with my father". It was the first time he ever mentioned his father's suicide and how he personally felt about it (guilty), but Wilhelm was so drunk and stricken with grief that he didn't pick up on it and continued talking about himself. It felt like August really wants someone to open up to, but can't find the right moment, or people, to succeed. And I do feel he had a special relationship with Erik, Erik understood him in a way, and it's his loss too. Again, not excusing August's actions but I read him as a very complex character and I hope we see a lot more about his struggles in a S2.

@@mellowtopia5376 Agreed with your insights. As much as I despise August, I do feel for him and can see there's good in him. He just needs a wake up call and maybe true friends that can guide him. I see his struggles sometimes with his own actions although most people just see him being a dickhead.

@@FarisHusaini Absolutely! Again, not to condone what August does, but he does struggle with himself and a lot of other things and you can tell. It's a great testament to Malte, August's actor, to let us see those nuances.

I agree with most of these points to an extent hehe. When it comes to Simons father I totally agree that on some level its out of his control and I do feel sad for him, however I also completely understand Simon and Sarah's point of view as it must be very tough to have to have dealt with these things as kids. Its just sad on both sides but I hope they can work through it and have some kind of relationship in the future. With August idk, I feel like I would have agreed more before watching episodes 4 and 5. Him going to kiss Sarah to have some kind of power over Felice by knowing he has kissed her friend to get back at her for hanging out with Wilhelm is just very gross behavior. The same with what he did at the end of episode 5, its never to actually benefit his life, its just to worsen other peoples to make his troubles seem less than they are. Both show someone who is extremely insecure, which, you could argue is reason enough to feel bad for them, however I still feel the actions alone are bad enough for me to hate him lol. I have empathy, yes, but empathy only gets me so far. With Sarah we have definitely seen some negatives but I feel I can see her reasonings more than Augusts for example, all she wanted was friends and being lonely can make you lash out at others when you don't mean to simply cause you're feeling depressed. Whereas with August, I feel he is more of an intentionally rude/mean kind of person if you get what I mean, he does it with the intention to bring people down rather than occasionally letting it out when overwhelmed. Never feel bad for writing about a show with passion hehe, whenI have the time I love to read these kinds of comments and get other peoples points of view!

I’m so sorry. I felt I should say that because it must have felt so much more intense than for the regular viewer

I saw!!!!! I was so shook

That's so cool! Can you link to it here?

It was a story so its gone now 😿

Ayy thank you!

They are sooo young. If they stay together for like 10 years or so, let them decide then. They just need to enjoy being openly boyfriends. Monarchy will find a way if they do not want kids. At least August is there to take the throne himself. Wilhelm can abdicate anytime he wants

Or it could go other way, knowing that Felice has feelings for Wille, and that she was trying to help him after the video was out, she might also sacrifice her own happiness to help him be with Simon by being in fake relationship with him 🤔

I never take that storyline as one of someone who isn't kind or thoughtful, they simply are lying to themselves so heavily that they truly think they could 'make it work' with a girl as he obviously likes Felice as a friend already

@@HarryAllen9 I thought the exact same thing when I first saw it, that he was going to try to go for a straight relationship because that’s what’s expected of him as the crown prince. I’m so glad that wasn’t how it turned out in this episode because I feel that storyline would be too expected. :)

Felice is the only real friend Wilhelm has

I checked the translation and I'm almost certain he deleted it heh

Ah, no, you’re right, going frame by frame Simon’s name disappears from the Contact list (scarily obsessive, I know). I thought Wille had closed his phone without actually clicking Remove. All the more impressive feat of drunk dialling, then.

Literally, he remembered it even in the state he was in 😭

@@Mark-vj7zd theories for wille being able to call simon (apart from super number memory) could be 1. although he asked simon to delete their texts, he himself didn't so even with the number deleted from his contacts list it's still there. or 2. they exchanged numbers via insta dms so it's still in his inbox

@@iyawakarehen thanks, that’s good to know. It was still pretty amazing that he managed to call Simon when he was that much off his face 🤪… guess it shows just how motivated he was.
