"I'm shocked - shocked I tell you - that Wille gave up his title at the end of the series! SHOCKED! Where did it come from?? It all just happened in the last 5 minutes! There were zero clues!"
Literally, the first promo.

"wilmon is toxic" "wilhelm is selfish" "simon is selfish" did you ever consider that they are teenagers and teenagers often have commuication issues in their relationships. they're like 16/17 and when you're 16/17 you say and do shitty things, especially under pressure. at 16 i sure as hell wasn't having the world's most mature conversations in my relationships. and also when you're 16 no matter how mature and selfless you are, it seems like the world revolves around YOU, which is ESPECIALLY the case for someone like wilhelm. they are flawed! and flawed in a way teenagers often are! and that's okay! it doesn't mean it's GOOD it just means they have depth and they feel more real!

It’s been 8234 years but the way Kristina says ‘uhh.. okay’ when Wilhelm tells her that Simon is on a date with someone else still cracks me up. Young Royals is a comedy.

It's not Simon or the monarchy, its simon or his family
I feel like people don't really understand, including Simon (no hate to you babygirl), but the Monarchy is Willie's family. Yes they may not be good but they are his family.
It isn't a choice between Simon and the Crown, but between Simon and his family, their legacy, his brother.
I think when Simon thinks and talks about the Monarchy, he see the oppression, the system, the class divide, not having the choice to vote in that elected leader etc.
Wilhelm sees his family. He cannot separate the monarchy from his family, because his own mother can't. He doesn't really see Simon attacking a horrible outdated system, but his mother, his brother and himself.
Wilhelm is faced with so much burden, being judged from those who don't know him and facing criticism no matter what he does.
What Simon experiences this season, being micromanaged and having those who don't know him judge him, is exactly what Wilhelm has experienced everyday of his life. However Simon also does not have the protection Wilhelm has, leading to having bricks thrown into his window, and making him an easier target. He is even more of a target due to his social status, race, class etc. Simon however also has more of a support system. Friends and family he can turn to in this situation. (Both characters are valid for what they have experienced and I am in no way trying to dismiss Simons pain)
I just don't like when people hate on by boy Wilhelm, like he isn't perfect but also a product of how he was raised. He is a 16 (now 17) boy who has been placed with a burden of legacy on his shoulders, while also battling anxiety, depression, greif. He is still figuring out who he is.

Wille is the most selfish thing Simon has ever wanted.
Throughout the entire series, Simon is always loyal to a fault, always taking care of everyone else — even when it’s inconvenient. The only time he does something for himself is when he is in pursuit of Wilhelm.
His whole life, Simon has had to sacrifice or share victories. Even his own voice, which should be entirely his own to sing with, is corrupted by the crown. But what Simon has with Wilhelm is purely what he wants, and has nothing to do with what anybody else wants. It isn’t about Linda, or Sara, or August, or the Queen. It’s just about the two of them — and Simon has never had anything in his life like that, something that is completely his. That belongs to him. That no one, other than Wilhelm, truly knows, truly understands how it feels.
And that’s why it is so different. That’s why it is so monumental, and why both Simon and Wille fight so hard to keep it. It is both of their true selves fighting for what they truly want.
