7:21 Simon: Eat the rich Wilhelm: Falls in love

[@RedBanana_]

Or even Simon: Eat the rich. Wilhelm, internally: Pls do.

[@lisaistryingtolive]

Simon, later: eating some parts of a rich person

[@gerganakantcheva8176]

Wilhelm, Simon and Felice are all 16, Sara is 17, August is 18. Age of consent in Sweden is 15, August didn't have their consent to film them though so yes, he's an adult filming minors without their consent, it's illegal in Sweden. And one of them is his cousin.

[@totalweirdo8538]

Also, it doesn't matter if they're over the age of consent - they can have sex, but videos of people under 18 are still child pornography. Or, that's how it works in the UK, anyway.

[@hencytjoe]

@@totalweirdo8538 There are also other means to block such things, things like signing documents and contracts, which you need to be 18 to do.

[@starflyer3219]

"Let's watch Young Royals," they said. "It will be fun," they said. 😭

[@gerganakantcheva8176]

Fun fact: the actor who plays Wilhelm was an actual teenager during the filming of Season 1 (17) and Season 2 (19). He graduated from highschool in June 2022, so he was a highschool student himself during the filming of Season 1 and 2.

[@CypherTheWolf7]

this is my comfort show. this is also the show that made me need a comfort show.

that’s the best way to describe this show!! 😂😭

[@cmm12344]

"I love the show, love the show.... but it made me feel awful" First of all, * iconic *, and second, that's the perfect description of how I felt when I first watched it.

[@JustWandering]

Thank you for instantly feeling as protective of Wilhelm as I do, lol.

[@Jordashian93]

I loved it, I binged watched it in one sitting. Great storyline that wasn't too slow, but not too fast either. I really loved the chemistry between the two main characters. I would have wanted a little more character development for the side characters, but other than that it was a heartfelt and genuine story that is definitely worth a watch.

[@Insipid42]

That wasn't an old-fashioned flip phone, it's a very expensive Samsung Flip. A smart phone that folds in half.

"i love the idea of two besties coming together without a boy btw them creating a problem" girl you aint ready for season 2

[@totalweirdo8538]

The whole time you were talking about how stressed you were about August I was like, 'you are not nearly stressed enough'

[@gerganakantcheva8176]

Since you've been asking where the adults are: August, Vincent and Nils are all 18/19 years old and considered full adults so they are not considered to need supervision and can supervise the first years. They are in their last school year and should be graduating in S3. (Wille, Simon, Felice, Stella, Fredrika, Madison, Henry, Walter and Alexander are all first years and 16. Sara has to repeat a year because she was bullied at her old school and couldn't keep up her studies, so she's 17 but in the same class as the 16 year olds) Erik was 20, so August, Vincent and Nils were first years when he was in his final year, that's why he was in the rowing team with them and in the secret society with August.

[@darktwistedlady]

Actually wrong: Erik was just one year older than August. The reason we know is because of the insignia on his military uniform showing he was in his first year there - someone on tumblr wrote a post with picture references.

[@SammyLammy1D]

In Sweden, most royalties went to the same private school. If I remember correctly, Hillerska is somewhat based on the real one. It's common knowledge that the princes and princesses goes to that school.

[@67Second]

A really nice job. I'm delighted you managed to hit so many points of the story in such a short time. Although I am sad that you cut the first breaking-of-the-fourth-wall. It's an iconic part of this series. Enjoy season 2. But to quote Stanley Tucci in The Devil Wears Prada, "Gird your loins!"

[@fictionaldarling]

i read this way too fast & my brain thought you said that stanley tucci was IN this show at first, & i just spent way too long wracking my brain trying to figure out which character he was playing 😂😭 i was like "wow, he must've really nailed the accent" 💀

[@67Second]

LOL

[@Erika-br8xo]

The swedish government has actually stated that an heir to the throne can marry a same sex partner, there is just a couple of monarcys where that is ok. And our real life crown princess married an ordinary guy, his parents are like a teacher and a social worker. They met at the gym when he was her personal trainer. It took a couple of years before the King said ok to them being a couple openly.

love that you clocked August RIGHT AWAY 🤣

[@lautarohernandez8694]

YAAAY i've been waiting for this one! i hope you do the full show (the third season is the last!)

[@fictionaldarling]

definitely planning on it!! working on season 2 now so hopefully that'll be the next vid up 😊

[@joelnoo]

For your knowledge: the royal family has pretty much zero inpact on politics (they dont rule lol) but they recive a shitton of money, very similar to the british royal family

[@jacf4460]

This has been one of my favorite queer stories of alltime. It's just so beautifully well-written, well-acted, ans just perfectly executed. Looking forward to ur reactions for S2, and 3 when it comes out 😭💔

[@potatololita2072]

This is my favorite show I don’t think anyone will ever Understand the impact this show has on my mental

[@fictionaldarling]

that scene where simon rescues him on the football field is gonna be on repeat tbh 😭

[@gerganakantcheva8176]

​​​​​​@@fictionaldarling Everything that Wilhelm does on the football field before Simon arrives was improvised by Edvin (who plays Wilhelm), even some of the lines. They just let Edvin improvise for a while and filmed him and then cut the best stuff together. The line "All people are fake, they are made out of metal, but I like you and that's not fake" was also improvised by Edvin. (Edvin was 17 during the filming of Season 1)

[@andre_p]

@@fictionaldarling Best scene in season 1 - iconic stuff actually: writing, camera work, acting, music…chef’s kiss !

[@angelreads5300]

The first season of this show broke me in a way that nothing i have ever seen did. Seeing you watch this made me go back to the day I watched this for the first time 2 years ago and remember exactly what made me fall in love with this tragic love story so much. Your reactions are very similar to mine and i like how you mentioned Tis' the damn season being their song, i 100% agree.

[@ArizaTLopez]

i was watching ur reaction to heartstopper 2 and i decided to serch people reacting to young royals and i seen your channel i got so exited i love the way u react to shows

Oh, I'll enjoy this! 😂 So... SKAM next? 😇😅

[@landorjonze5308]

Jess coming in with an hour video on a lazy Saturday . . . thanks for brightening up the afternoon! Sure, you also stressed me out with this series. Hey, my Eras show was last Sunday. What an amazing night! She is just a force for 3+ hours on that stage. We got "Hits Different" and "The Moment I Knew" for our songs. I started getting into Taylor around the same time I found your channel. It's silly, but your videos did a lot in shaping my appreciation of Taylor and her music. Thanks for all your insights, Jess!

[@fictionaldarling]

ahhh i'm so happy you had a great time at her tour!! and getting hits different is TOP TIER omg (my brain still views that one as extra rare tbh😂)

The lyrics to the song in the first episode were written by bisexual king Ola Salo. The song was released originally in 2000 by his band The Ark.

[@openedtodiscussion]

It was a pleasure to listen to your thoughts about this great story. I am a little addicted to it. Watch you soon for the second part, which develops every theme, and shows other sides of each character personality. Then, I guess we will wait for the last part, the resolution, together, until early 2024.

[@y.u.n.gg_tellyy]

The last scene actually made me cry 😭😭😭

[@ash_phoenix3282]

your commentary was so succinct and spot on. i can’t wait for you to see this series develop further, but season two is a rollercoaster so good luck 😭

[@ilni9364]

i was so nervous and stressed through the whole video even though i litterally already watched it over that one year ago lol

[@darktwistedlady]

A small comment: Right after Wille learns that his mother knew it was August who posted the video and realises that she manipulated him, we hear a match being lit. Omar Rudverg who plays Simon is a singer irl, check him out his voice is amazing! 🤩

[@andre_p]

« Love all the women characters in this show ». Never thought of it, but it’s so true: they’re direct, sincere, upfront with their feelings and quick to detect and flip away bullshit. Even Queen Christina: her agenda is clear and you know where she stands (like it or not). Only Felice’s Mom gives me the creeps. She should take lessons from Linda (Simon and Sara’s mom).

[@YenellyT]

did you know they dubbed it themselves for the english dub. So it sounds just so natural and with a little accent when they dubbed it to english haha.

[@saranya5703]

Yay Jess waiting for this reaction for forever now. And we've been through trenches surviving season 2. But it's so worth it though.

yeah, like what are the similarities...? they're both about gay, European teenagers? that's kinda funny, this girl had no idea what she was getting herself in to haha

[@gerganakantcheva8176]

She said people told her it's like Hearstopper but at boarding school and with royalty and more heartbreaking (she said "Thanks for the warning on that front."), it's ok as a first description.

[@liaistotallyfine]

Wilhelm is just going through it and it's gonna get worse before it gets better. No spoilers but I love his journey in season 2 but I can't pretend I wasn't scared there for a second that it might take a darker turn

[@yoannam.2243]

Let me start by saying this is almost an hour video, but I watched it as it was nothing. You edited it amazing! I could write a whole analysis on this show, it's so so good😭 The pain for waiting for s2 was awful, you're so lucky to have it right away. Now we're waiting for s3 and if you don't know, yes there's s3. It's the last season and I'm so happy that "my" little swedish show made it so far. Haven't seen such a good teen series in years. Europeans knows what they're doing. Still can't believe it's a teen show, it's too good to be. Not to be dramatic, but they're soulmates😂 There's something different with these two as a couple in comparison to others teen dramas and it's that they're not toxic to each other, they communicate and the problems didn't came from their relationship. It's the position of Wilhelm that's the problem. It's an example of a healthy relationship. You can't help, but rooting for them as you watch their path and what they have is pure love. Also a fun fact: Wilhelm's love language is psychological touch and his whole life he couldn't express it, because of who he is. That's why he always craved it. The scene when he asked Simon to hold him, always gets me. To have one form of expressing love and that to be taken away from you is just... Also I don't think any of his family show physical touch in a form of love sooo he's all alone again. Anyway, waiting for your reaction to s2❤
