Young Royals Reaction S3 E1 | Wilhelm & Simon Finally Official!

[@tallactordude]

Maybe Linda is practicing a soft grounding - Simon can’t leave the house, but other people can come to the house. Or maybe you’re right and she just doesn’t understand what grounding really is. 😆

[@Nelly-44]

She has work ...probably working night shift as a nurse ...so she doesn't have to know that Willie was there

[@darktwistedlady]

No need to be draconian, that only creates resentment.

[@saratornlund1618]

It's also a Swedish thing. I'm Swedish and I didn't know until now that "grounding" meant not being allowed to spend time with friends at all

[@lynnhettrick7588]

@@saratornlund1618 Ah, that makes sense now. I was thinking that her whole point was to keep Simon away from the drugs and bad influences at school.

[@dianefurlong2911]

@@saratornlund1618 that’s interesting

[@KIMKAISOOBH]

Omar and Edvin are actually good friends that's why they have such a chemistry on screen. there's also a documentary for young royals on 18 march, you can watch and react it as well cus u can discover more about them and how they managed to do the scenes.

[@florcita07]

THE RIFLE WAS COMPLETELY JUSTIFIED speak your thruth

[@SofiaBlomman]

Loved this reaction, as always 🥰 As for the intimate scenes, they have an intimacy coordinator and they've talked about how extremely choreographed the intimate scenes are and that it's more like a performance with exact cues. Which I think makes it all so much more impressive, because it really looks like they're 100% in the moment and not like they're just going through a choreography 😅 Also, the Swedish word for being grounded, "utegångsförbud", literally means "ban from going outside" so in Swedish it definitely makes more sense that Simon can have people over as long as he doesn't leave the house!

[@jayneriley6026]

Yes I have seen the interviews where they talk about it as being like a dance. However I believe in this season they didn't need the intimacy coordinator as much they were able to have more freedom as they are comfortable with each other as they are good friends in real life.

[@daniellesylla5206]

Omg I cheered with you guys when they kissed in the hallway!!! Lol this season is wild and I can't wait for y'all to see the rest!

[@hughcampbell-ww3bf]

3:50 1.2 million krone is about 117,000 USD these days. And, excuse me, Mrs. Journalist @ 12:00 but Markus and Simon were never boyfriends. They dated.

[@a-donutcat]

About communication- I think Wille is trying in this season. But because he loves Simon, and doesn't want to hurt or control him, he isn't clear enough about social media!! He doesn't want the court to talk to Simon, as he knows they would be blunt and to the point, even if that hurt Simon. They just need all the hugs and ALl the therapy they can get. I would love to see them with Boris, in couples therapy!!! 👀👀

[@belpop]

Yeah, I think it’s really difficult because Wille doesn’t want to control Simon, but he knows that the sm stuff, especially responding to comments and the like, won’t do any good and just ultimately hurt and upset Simon. But they are both teenagers, and Wille has been trained for this in a way that Simon hasn’t. Wille does a lot of projection of his feelings this season onto Simon. Like we KNOW he hates being crown prince but it’s a role he’s accepted bc of his parents and living up to Erik and Simon is really the only person there for him. So it’s like, they both have to go through it. 🙃❤️‍🩹

[@a-donutcat]

@belpop you have summed that up beautifully 💜 Teenage communications and relationships are tricky at the best of times, and with all they have been through, they are both reacting with trauma responses. Sneaking in their little moments of happiness when they can, before the controlling adults butt in again!

[@lynnhettrick7588]

8:59 I was thinking that it went quiet because they were shutting everything out and just focused on each other. It didn’t seem like *everyone* was staring.

[@darktwistedlady]

Love your reaction as usual! In the song Revolution by Elias from s1, a line in the text says "a resolution written on your hand" and Simon literally writes a heart on Wille's hand! The writing on this show is insane. Can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of the episodes!

[@edliwolfstar]

I love getting to re-watch the show trough watching your reactions. Cause those reactions is what brought me to your channel in the first place

[@alvadautovic8612]

hes not really grounded it just the translation that says that. He has "utegångsförbud" that basically means that hes forbbiden to walk outside besides of school. But thats a swedish word that dosnt really have a direct translation to english so graounded is the closest too it. So hes allowed to have people over but not allowed to go out. Tought i might explain it so you guys dont get too confussed about that part hahahaha

[@alvadautovic8612]

sorry for the grammer im swedish lmao

[@Absurdist1968]

So now we're at the point where _Young Royals_ veers towards the real world in a way that _Heartstopper_ doesn't. Hard consequences in a very adult world. It's a bummer, but it certainly rings truer-to-life. And I suspect it will only get worse before it gets any better, but that's the world for you, alas.

[@Nelly-44]

That kiss said " just incase you missed the speech ... This is my manz...my boyfriend ..my boo...and btw Simon you wanted public ... Here you go " The placement of the middle finger keychain was everything

[@ESkye91]

I am literally anxious & terrified to watch the final episode of season 3 because, should love not prevail between Wille & Simon, I will be devastated. So invested in this fictional relationship . . .

[@a-donutcat]

Me too. This almost feels more real than real life!!! 🤯🤯

[@jordanparker657]

I feel it has to have a happy ending. I picture us seeing them as adults, mid to late 20's, with kids living in one of the palaces 😊

[@lynnhettrick7588]

I’m kinda hoping for a time jump to see them happy in the future. Or as Omar said in the clip with the cast, to have movie that is 2,3, or 5 years from now.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

14:03 They’ve been careful to leave Wilhelm unlabeled. All we know is that he is in love with Simon. ❤

[@dianefurlong2911]

Be sure to Fasten Your Seatbelts Everyone! Love the Graphic of Linda’s idea of Grounding 🤣

[@arahas6802]

In normal schools in sweden it is very common to take the phones away and then you get them back at the end of the day, but i don’t understand why they couldn’t have them after their classes had ended for the day

[@anncanovill8136]

Thank God you're back with YR reactions. The enthusiastic flavor you put into your reactions are without questioning the best of them all. You are my happy pills for yet another season. 🙌💊👑

[@a-donutcat]

Go back and watch August' reaction to the recording in s1ep4 and you can see the trauma (ptsd) response!! This show just has so many layers and call backs, it's amazing 🥰

[@belpop]

I am so glad you guys are reacting to this I’ve been waiting! This season is amazing. Pure love and pure pain so buckle up.

[@Defnot.alliet]

Can’t wait to see your guys reactions to the rest of the season!!

[@jamLP]

Hate loves a label. Love defies labels. Just let people feel what they feel. Very Nick from Heartstopper. Love it.

[@elsaelza]

yay love your reactions! 👑 loved that you acknowledged the sound production, it is incredible

[@lynnhettrick7588]

Yes! Every aspect of this show is excellent!

[@whoeveriwant9266]

I love your reactions. Alex made me laugh all throughout the video. You're hilarious. Keep it up. But don't be so sure about surviving. It keeps getting harder to breathe as the show progresses

[@alinawaffle]

This season is SO EXCELLENT I can't wait for y'all to watch

[@GirlLovesFairytale]

Your reaction about the rifle was the same, I was like dammit he did do that 😂 And the kiss at school, same ❤❤

[@AlexMH1991]

Loved your reaction guys! Can't wait to see your reaction to the rest of the episodes. I'm biting my nails waiting for ep 6 to be out on Monday and I'm bloody SCARED!! I want a wilmon happy ending but you never know with this damn show

[@Itssara98]

Your reaction guys are the best. You are expressing everything going inside my head. Love you guys so much 💜

[@CathyY72]

The common Theory is that it was Nils who leaked the information.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

That does seem likely. He was likely beaten during that part of the initiation since he is gay/bi/pan. The current third years did the spit thing but not the movie to the current first years. But Alex has been bullied a lot overall.

[@jamieschmidt8647]

I don’t think I agree. The article says former students. I got the impression that the initiation has been going on for years. August told Nils that they kept their promise and didn’t do that to their first years.

[@danielagosselink3169]

Alexander was not in school at the time of the porn video so it couldnt have been him

[@catslover3593]

The “They’ll come back stronger than ever” had me crying but the reactions were awesome, can’t wait for episode 2 😄

[@reillywilloughby]

"The universe... Is being a twat" is my new favorite saying.

[@gildin1760]

This is the only YR reaction I need to watch....

[@dysmissme7343]

6:34 I don’t know what they’re talking about!? 💁‍♀️ There are no witnesses. 😎 Rifle what rifle?

[@gabrmoural]

You 2 need to watch "Young Royals Forever", the documentary showing the last season filming, it is SO GOOD

[@_kellymarianne_]

That kissing in school scene reminded me of the feeling of kissing another girl in public for the first time or even just holding hands. It is sooooo scary, but we feel so proud and good after we did it. Love the fact that they were able to show how it feels❤

[@emilianilsson3729]

17:33 home schooling is illigal in sweden

[@michaelthomas3821]

the first of my s3 one liners: 1. August gets off scot free, Queenie and Simon's mom blame the victims. Nobody notices that it was actually August dealing drugs ps: it's about $120000, ie nothing. they got screwed.

[@donnagilbert6995]

Linda’s version of grounding 😂😂

[@EmmarainePink]

4:40 That reaction came from the SOUL lmaoooo

[@macalahprince]

CANT WAIT FOR TOMORROW

[@jazz5856]

apparently i also don’t know what grounding is because i thought it was just not being allowed to go other places 😂

[@lynnhettrick7588]

I’m realizing that culturally there are different definitions of being grounded.

[@dianerc4329]

I don't get why there wasn't a bare minimum of media/"introduction to being a royal" training or security contact to Simon and his Mum/family.

[@giadsisreallycool]

MISSED YOU REACTING YOUNG ROYALSS

[@rachaelpayne3045]

Finally guys I'm on second rewatch of all 5 episodes haha.i live for your reactions

[@gabrmoural]

THIS SEASON WAS CRAAAAAAAZY, BUT I LOVED IT, IT'S AMAZINGG (and you reaction is even better)

[@e1evene1even]

I was smiling so hard watching Wilhelm & Simone finally being able to be openly happy and in love, my mouth started to hurt!

[@mandipandi303]

Edit on my Patreon comment: I learned that Edvin identifies as straight. Maybe he's just real flirty in interviews. I'm clueless about that stuff, as I'm on the ace spectrum, and even I was a little surprised at Edvin's comments about Omar and their intimate scenes. They must just have great chemistry and well-choreographed intimacy scenes. TLDR: August should justifiably be in prison! He filmed and disseminated cp as an adult. A lot more than kissing happened in that video. Go back to S1:E6 once the tape has leaked if you need a refresher as to what you can see in it. It's sex. If someone is conflicted as to if it qualifies, watch Sex Education. Even if Simon dealing drugs and Wilhelm pointing the gun at August hadn't been a thing, I support Simon's decision to not want to go to trial, and his mom should have too. Simon's mom may see it as "accepting a bribe" (which yes, you could absolutely see it that way if that was someone's motivations), but Simon said, "I can't take it anymore." Linda should have respected his decision. HE'S the victim. It's HIS choice. The article said "A former student speaks out." August never would've outed the school's bad behavior. Hillerska is all he has left. He'll do anything to protect it. Hillerska closing with all its problems wouldn't be the worst. It would certainly suck for Wilhelm and Simon, but it's pretty bad place, all things considered.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

They definitely chose well when casting Edvin and Omar. They seem to be great friends and have phenomenal chemistry together. Do you remember which interview that was? As soon as Simon said that he just wants it to be done and that he can’t take it anymore, that should be it. He should have final say.

[@macalahprince]

OMG STOP I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!

[@Babygirlyouretheheart]

I thought about the second phone immediately too lmao

[@catwmn2345]

Love that you're doing YR again ❤❤ Just FYI, there's no home schooling in Sweden. Maybe in extreme cases, but otherwise, you have to get your ass to school.

[@bettyjensen2039]

i clicked on this video so fast it is unbelievable

[@marthahammel8543]

Your reactions are always the best. Thank you! While I want Wille and Simon to be happy, I’m starting to think they are both too young and “ unformed” to make decisions to be together, since they really haven’t spent enough time together to see how they work as a couple, what they want from their lives, ways of coping, etc. They need couple’s and individual therapy big time. How can Wille decide whether to abdicate or become king when he doesn’t have the life skills at this point? Probably an unpopular opinion but I’m worried about our boys.

[@lynnhettrick7588]

I’m torn about this all. Reality is that teen romances don’t often last. But fantasy fairytale world, I just want them to live happily ever after. I’m kinda hoping for a time jump, to see them older and more mature and together.

[@marthahammel8543]

@@lynnhettrick7588 A time jump would be good. I hadn’t thought of that option. Not much longer until we find out.
