It’s the fact that the all kind of love won in the end that got me. Like they really, really showed them all choose love and happiness, in all the forms in can take place in.

Self love

and family love

Romantic love

Friendship love

They are all as important as one another and I really love this message! It made for a great ending.

An analysis of Wille arriving at Hillerska with Erik‘s car vs. leaving in Sara‘s car

Lisa Ambjörn herself asked for this, and she shall receive.

The first time we see Wilhelm arrive at Hillerska it is with Erik. They arrive in an expensive sports car. Wille doesn‘t know what the future has to offer for him, but he knows he doesn‘t want to be at the school. The last time we see Wilhelm in a car, he is leaving Hillerska behind. He has just renounced the throne. He sits in an old Volvo with his chosen family. He has finally grown up.

Wilhelm started a revolution at Hillerska which led to the school shutting down. Erik‘s car is a symbol for the old system and they‘re leaving everything behind in Sara’s car. It‘s a fresh start.

The sports car represents not only Erik, but Wilhelm‘s position as a prince. It symbolises his privileges, his position in the upper class. His family has money and he benefits from it. And yet, while Erik seems to be enjoying himself in the wind, he isn‘t happy. This is one of our first glimpses at the fact that Wille feels trapped in the postion he is in.

The old Volvo can also be seen as a representation of Wilhelm‘s feelings. It being an old and not super expensive car is obviously a literal cosquence of it coming from Micke. But it can also mean more: Wilhelm has decided to leave the title of Crown Prince behind. It’s a common car - all Wille wants is to live a normal and common life. He has also decided to bridge over the class differences between Simon and himself. Wilhelm is now in a place where he‘s willing to unlearn his own classist views and privileges. They‘re willing to compromise, they‘ll make it work.

Apart from the cars‘ price classes it‘s also important to mention the type of car they‘re driving. Erik drives an open-roof Cabrio while Sara drives a car with a closed roof. The roof represents the public eye. Wille was uncomfortable at the beginning. He didn‘t want to be perceived by the public, but he had no choice and nowhere to hide or escape to.

Now, in the end, he has renounced his title and he chooses not to be in the public eye any longer. The car roof is closed, and he finally has a way to hide. But Wilhelm chooses to do the opposite. He leans out the window. He is ready to face the world and to finally be his true self. And he has not only Simon in his arms to help him, but Felice and Sara are with him as well. They have become family. Wille is finally free.

also also the way yeah simon and wille got to be together yeah 1000% but sara and felice!! god it’s so rare for any media to portray friendship and platonic relationships as just as important if not more important than romantic. but!!!!! they were also in that car!! they were endgame too!! it just brings me such joy that this silly angsty little romance can also put such value in friendship too <3 oh young royals writers just kill me

Well, now I need a Young Royals movie of what Sara, Felice, Simon and Wille's summer vacation will be like.

LISA START WRITING NOW

And I need it to be 100% fanservice, to look like something out of a fanfic

I don't care about the plot, I want to see pure fluff

I love how Sara told August "You love the person you become when you're with me." Because it's so true.

From what we learn from August, before all the bullying and the loss of his father, August probably was a good and sweet kid, a bit like he was with Sara in season 2. All those trauma changed him to someone else and he lost himself in the way. He tried to become "strong" so that he wouldn't have to face those trauma again. (That does not excuse his actions, I agree, but I'm not talking about that here).

With Sara, he got to be "himself" once again and it must have felt so good to no have to "perform" anymore. To just be. So of course he associated that with being in love with Sara. But like she said, he wasn't. He was just in love with the person he became when around her.

I just realised now that blue and yellow are also the colours on Sweden's flag 🇸🇪

I can’t believe I went from wanting to watch August burned alive to a borderline August apologist. My brain knows that what he did was unforgivable and messed up, but my heart does hurt for him. Malte did an amazing job. This show has left such an impressive mark on all of us.

wilhelm and august trading the things they wanted most (wille with the throne and august being with sara VS wille being with simon and august with the throne) is just AHHGGSHSHH SUCH GOOD WRITING UGH YOUNG ROYALS THE SHOW YOU ARE 🫶

August och Sara

Thinking about August again. Thinking about his difference in relationships. Thinking about how he treated Felice vs how he treated Sara.

I think August was — is — genuinely in love with Sara. Like head over heels, the way Wille loves Simon, in love with Sara. It’s even more obvious when you think about how he treats her vs how he treated Felice in season one.

In season one, he says he’s going to marry Felice, but really he means he’s going to sleep with Felice. He tells Erik it’s better to get them when they’re “too insecure to object.” He had no intention of anything serious with Felice. He says he wants to take her on a date. He mentions flying her to a Michelin Star Restaurant, but only after she mentions how the only thing around is the lowly pizza place in Bjärstad. During sex he focused on his own pleasure. He told her not to closer her eyes. He didn’t want to be intimate with her (the position they’re in literally prevents any eye contact). He was using her. Every scene with Felice was impersonal at best. When they took their “relationship” public, he didn’t act much differently. He just walked her over to her friends (notice they didn’t talk about it with his friends) and then he moved on. He kissed her best friend to get back at her for being friends with Wilhelm. When they broke up, he was mostly upset that he was publicly called out. It wasn’t about Felice or losing her.

Now with Sara… Jesus Christ with Sara.

He talks about not just marrying Sara, but making her Queen. And he means it. He has every intention of being serious with Sara and staying serious with Sara. He wants to bring her to the ball. He sets up candles in his room for her with champagne. He waits patiently and plans to take her to the dance, not just see her there or meet her there or take her home after. He wants to do the whole thing. The whole song and dance of taking her as his date. The first time they have sex he immediately makes it about her and she cuts him off and says to stay up with her. He tries to make it about her pleasure and she stops him. In fact, the first time they have sex, he just invited her over to talk. He literally had no intention of sleeping with her. There are many many moments of them lying in bed together and being intimate. He lets her sleep late in his bed. He actively makes sure she gets enough sleep, but also makes sure she has the privacy she wants when she leaves. When she shows up at his door upset he comforts her. He does it in the hallway where anyone can see and he doesn’t care. He wants to be public with Sara (ie the dance invite). When it all goes tits up, he doesn’t break about Sara. She has to be the one that confesses because he won’t do that to her. He literally would have taken the bullet to make sure her friends and family didn’t find out what she did.

But the most damning piece of evidence I have for August being in love with Sara is the fact that he bought that damn horse.

You wanna know how he paid for that horse?

He sold art from his inheritance. He sold a painting. Something that he could get rid of quickly and make money quickly so he could buy that stupid horse that Sara loves so much.

In season one August cannot pay his tuition. His mother tells him to sell a painting because it will pay his tuition “a hundred times over.” Do you know what his response was in that moment?

“I would rather die.”

In season one he would rather die than sell that painting.

August is equating Sara’s unhappiness with death. Literal death.

He could not care less about her imperfections. He does not care that she blew him off a few times. He does not care that she shows up in his room smelling like a horse. He does not care that she’s blunt. He does not care that she’s autistic or has ADHD (which notice he never once took advantage of to fuel his drug habits). He does not care that she’s Simon’s sister. He does not care that, had he one day actually made her a queen, he would have difficulties with introducing her to royalty and the royal life. August does not care.

The only thing he cares about is her.

I’m distraught over this.

Simón and Felice becoming friends in s3

Since season 1 I've wanted Simón and Felice to become friends, I always felt that they could be very good friends and that it could be a beautiful friendship.

After watching the clip that came out today and seeing how sad Felice looks (Sara's betrayal is very recent) and that her friends are talking about Wille not being at school since the Jubilee, I started thinking about her and Simón possibly becoming friends.

We don't know if Simon has been going to school alone these days when Wille was probably at the palace but, if so, Simón has no friends in Hillerska.

His only friends there are/were Sara (his sister with whom he is now on bad terms) and his boyfriend who is not at the school. But canonically we know that he and Felice get along, they're just not friends. I think that if Simón is alone at school after the speech it would make sense for him to either approach Felice or for her to approach him to support him.

Going back to Sara's betrayal, I believe that there is no other character who can understand how Simón and Felice are feeling at this moment.

Wille wasn't really hurt by the betrayal, he was hurt that she hurt Simón but he doesn't see it as a personal attack against him, he doesn't see Sara as a traitor, he sees her as another person manipulated by August.

Felice's friends don't know that August was the one who recorded the video and they believe that Felice is angry at Sara for sleeping with her ex, they have no idea how serious the situation really is.

The people most emotionally affected by the betrayal are Felice and Simón and I feel that it would be very beautiful to see them develop a friendship and support each other.

THEY DID IT.

No, I'm not talking about Wilmon.

Sara and Wille exchanged words. 'Tis is a glorious day.

my toxic trait is that I can’t bring myself to fully hate august from young royals. Him calling Sara on a landline in the year of our lord 2024 just to hear her say hello 😭😭. It’s giving basement era spike honestly and that type of angst is just so yum.
