YOUNG ROYALS FINALE REACTION // 'Episode 6'

[@jinikapoor6149]

"they need a season 2 like yesterday" literally me

[@mellowtopia5376]

Everybody lol.

[@latoyagardner576]

The fact that he hugged him in front of the whole school, is confirmation of their involvement. He knows what he has to do to get Simon back. Also, Simon might not be able to keep up the distance from Wilhelm.

[@theabruun1028]

This episode and the ending broke my heart. Wilhelm telling Simon that he loves him, Simon telling Wilhelm that they can’t be together before Wilhelm deals with his current issues. They both clearly love each other, but sometimes love just isn’t enough. I hope they are already planning season 2, because I don’t know how long I can bear to wait for it.

They really took the definition for “right person wrong time”. I’ve watched young royals so many times and the ending will always hurt my heart. We all know Wilhelm and Simon love each other but when Simon didn’t say I love u back it was probably because he wanted Wilhelm to figure stuff out on his own before anything. I need a season 2 like right now

[@jimsummers3313]

Great comments! In the predictable Hollywood dumbed-down version, Simon would say "I love you" back to Wilhelm, only to have "Victor" KISS the Prince en-route back to the Palace and ruin everything!:( OMFG > WHO will Victor CHOOSE > Benji, Rahim or THE SWEDISH PRINCE??!!:) "Young Royals" is the well-written, beautifully acted & directed, intelligent & mature series which the LBGTQ community truly deserves!

[@belpop]

I think it’s interesting because I didn’t get the feeling of PERSONAL homophobia from Wille’s mom. She doesn’t seem to really care about Wille being gay, she cares about the their royal reputation. However, even if she isn’t personally, the entire monarchy is an inherently homophobic system and she is still playing into that and prioritizing it over the happiness of her son. Especially with the “unfortunate romance” comment.

[@AnxietyRat]

Exactly. It's not overt homophobia. Moreso covert. But it's definitely still... There. Especially with the " unfortunate romance" comment. Though, that could still be class driven and not and issue with the homosexuality. I think more scenes with her could help clarify her stance. If it's classism or homophobia. Cause it honestly could be either. We haven't seen enough of her in the show to be certain.

[@chebert999]

A few comments from me as I come from an older generation (I'm 54). When I discovered my homosexuality I was 16 too: no internet, no instagram, no cell phones. But still, I completely relate to this show and how it is close to what I lived in my first experiences. It's really amazing. I love that the characters are credible: they have acne and look like teens, no makeup and crap to hide the real life. Even with the "instant" messaging etc, they still have to pass through the acceptance of their feelings. And the chemistry between these two is just WOW. Even with my BF (which became my husband), we never had that kind of chemistry. Finally, the songs and music chosen are so POWERFUL. It's unreal how it plays a huge role in it. Listen to it without the music and some scenes are not the same. LET'S START A REVOLUTION !!!! I really liked the series. I hope we'll get more.

[@vilmamakinen5657]

I’m Swedish so this reaction was the first time I heard the dubbed version. I would say, Willhelm lost his sadness and desperation in his voice. In English he kind of sounds more aggressive. I would recommend everyone to watch the original version as well, because, in my opinion, it’s much more emotional🥰

[@belpop]

The locker room scene is one of my favorites. So beautiful. I LOVE the ending to the season. Yeah it’s sad, but It’s realistically sad without being hopeless. You feel the hope underneath it because Wille hugs Simon in front of everyone and tells him he loves him. It feels like a promise. And the way revolution is playing just like it did when Simon rescued him on the football field. And the way Wille looks into the camera, whew! That boy is about to burn down the monarchy for love and freedom.

[@georgeweatherford1027]

Thoughts on this finale: *Simon maybe does not realize one thing: He has an amazing support system, which we see with the amazing reactions of Rosh, Ayub and his Mother. He is fully supported where Wilhelm is mostly alone. *It is refreshing to see Simon has self-respect and stand up for his needs in the relationship, where he focused on Wilhelm's so often before. He was right to walk away and right that Wilhelm is the one who needs to work out what he really wants and Simon can't keep bouncing up and down with him. *So rarely do we see this dilemma that is common in the LGBTQIA community: one partner is out and the other is figuring things out; and that is HARD. All the work it takes to be out means that going back in, even for someone you love, is soul-bruising and feels like a step in the wrong direction. This show demonstrated this dilemma so we'll. *Love is easy, but relationships aren't. The love is clear here between the boys, AND Wilhelm needs to learn that relationships tie into class, culture, money and attitude in a way that needs to be addressed before things tumble down. *Felice is a low-key badass and is finding her worth *Simon is realizing that while he wants out of his town, his friends are amazing and true. I want more of them next season.

[@georgeweatherford1027]

He took a risk by hugging Simon in front of everybody and telling Simon he loves him. Melting over that one. Still, it is so refreshing that Simon has some self-respect and sticks to his guns. I ma sure he wants to say, "I love you" back, but still knows Wille has some growing up to do and some difficult decisions to make ON HIS OWN. Let's be real: Wille has put Simon on a rollercoaster over and over again. Sometimes love is not enough. Simon deserves to be cherished in public and deserves for HIS struggle to be acknowledged. Let us pray Wille gets this and makes an even bigger statement. Their chemistry is so flipping amazing that we can only hope, as this series has admirably done throughout it's six episodes, that the story and characters take the more human route rather than upping the drama.

They really did end it with “have a nice Christmas” 🥲🔫

I'm from Australia too and watched it with the English dub the first time, which is better than most dubs since the actual actors did the English dubs themselves 😍 But then I rewatched it in Swedish with English subtitles and HIGHLY recommend you do the same as the emotion is heightened and you catch so many small things that are missed with the dubbed version 😊

[@josefienhertzberg4262]

Thanks CoreysCouch. I've never watched reactionshows before but after this show I just felt alone. I felt left behind by a whole family. I MISS YOUNG ROYALS. By looking at your reaction I experienced a kind of recognition. I am not alone with these emotions. This show was fucking real. These people were real. Not pumped up teens of 30 with bodybuildersbodies but real people with real problems and real intimacy. I would give so much for the bond those two guys have. Because that is what these makers have captured: Love, intimacy, sincerity, tenderness. I want to see this more often. Not just in season 2 (and 3 and 4 and 5) but all over netflix land! Hollywood please learn of this beauty and see that wee want authenticity instead of fake!!!! Thanks again from the Netherlands!!! PS It's a shame Skam (Norway) hasn't been dubbed, I'm sure you'd find it fanfuckingtastic!

@@CoreysCouch88 if you don’t mind watching stuff with subtitles there’s a website that has all the translated content

[@josefienhertzberg4262]

@@CoreysCouch88 I think it's very important what you do here. You show makers that there is a need for authenticity. That something may be small and can therefore enter so much more intensely than those exaggeratedly large problems. (Not that being a crown prince isn't a mega problem in itself, but good). I like that being gay isn't portrayed as the problem as it is such a huge issue in every show. That's how Hollywood just makes it a big thing for young people. I think it's because creators will always be older, if you're from the sixties then it's been a really big thing in your teens too. Again it is important what you have done here. You've given creators a chance to watch the viewer soak up this show and finally breathe realness. I hope that netflix and Holywood (in Europe we also watch 90% of these movies) will see that it is done with fake and one stereotypical teenager. What I loved about Simon is that he is so powerful. So standing upright. He comes from a disadvantage when you compare his classmates and in normal series that makes people small or even worse 'brave'. This boy doesn't fight the upperclass, he stays himself and that's so fucking strong. And oh yeah, he's gay, so he corrects you when you say "girlfriend" and continues because that's not what it has to be about (all the fucking time). At 12:29 you say all these problems are because of August and I understand your frustration but I think it's the crown that is causing the problems. What case would August have had if Ville hadn't worn a crown? And everything is recorded, really everything. A friend of mine is an influencer, everything she says is considered and applauded by thousands of people. When I go out with her, everything is recorded and everyone wants to take a picture with us. I puke on it, for her it's her life. That is also the case for Ville. You can blame August, but if he didn't do it, the whole society would do it. It is the crown that makes it heavy. August is also just a teenager who has been abandoned by both his parents and has (most likely) never experienced the love that is so natural and so electric between Simon and Ville. He made a fucking stupid mistake but still, I don't see it as intense as you I think haha. It's still a teenager who made a mistake. I can understand that this action would cause him to perform the same action as his father did to himself(...). Let being gay be normal, let having Asperger's be normal, let having pimples be normal, let every body be normal and shine in it haha. Whenever someone has a port-wine stain, or a wheelchair, a color, a sexual preference, a handicap, then this has been chosen very consciously. Then there is a complete focus on that for an episode. Why do we never, ever see disabled people as extras? Why do we never see an almost all black class with only one white person? Why do we never see a transsexual teacher who is just a teacher and not immediately make a whole episode about how awful it is to be transsexual and how brave you have to be blah blah. It is bizarre what kind of image we are always presented with and what we have come to accept as the norm. Sorry to go on like this, but I'm really inspired by the beauty and love I've been offered by this show. Corey, as far as I'm concerned, you're just making up a seventh episode or just talk about those six before because I want to hear more of what you think and I think that's really important. What you do is sincere and genuine from your heart. I hope many creators will see this!!! xx from the Netherlands

Also, I forgot to mention, Wilhelm uses Simon as like a security blanket which is not a bad thing. To me everytime he is nervous or has a panic attack he bites his nails or rubs his chest but when Him and Simon are together nothing which is super cute and relaxing. Simon knows how to make Welhelm calm down and that is the best part.

[@Chloe-rr5om]

I think we all know that Simon loves Wilhelm back but I think the reason Simon didn't say it back to Wilhelm is that he knew that if he did Wilhelm probably would've given in and gone against the royal family and just done what he wants but Simon wants to give him time to figure out who he is and what he wants before he chooses to do that

[@mclean9814]

You’re exactly right with everything you said at the end!! After two seasons of Love, Victor and their (in my opinion) desperate cliffhangers, I was so happy that this show came to a fulfilling close even if there are some strings left untied. 😂😂 Also Wille sounds a lot angrier in English; the character’s sadness and pain comes across much more in Swedish!

[@jimsummers3313]

Love, Victor > "desperate cliffhangers" > BINGO!!:) I would have added a few more adjectives > "annoying, non-sensical, unnecessary" + "insulting to the intelligence of loyal Love, Victor viewers!"

[@georgeweatherford1027]

Love, Victor kept throwing in drama without giving the tender moments or the conversations the characters needed. This series did in six episodes what that one struggled to do with several more. The same themes of fear and love not being quite enough are in both, but this one layered it into honest emotions, REAL problems and pointing out the need to go through your own shit first.

[@kekwayblaze3176]

You don't call this ending a cliffhanger? I certainly would as it is leaving so many questions unanswered. This is how you get interest in a second season, by leaving audiences wanting more. There is in essence is what a cliffhanger is all about. Making audiences wanting more.

[@georgeweatherford1027]

@@kekwayblaze3176 I really wouldn't call it a cliffhanger. It has some intrigue and you wonder what will happen next, but it doesn't end in the middle of some big event or deep drama.

[@jciarra]

I love the Wilhelm scene with August, he was so strong and it was satisfying! I agree he really showed to be the bigger man because I also was waiting for an "Erik told me I could trust you" type of line and that would have crushed August.

[@indiemainstream2947]

so I know everyone thinks differently on this, but my take is that the prince being in love with a boy is just a big gossip thing to the school and the world, but the reason Wilhelms mother don't want him to be gay is because he is now the only one that can become king, and has to have a biological child as his successor, or else the royal family and bloodline changes drastically. Loved your reaction to the series, and appreciated that you see that the characters and their motivations are multidimentional and not as simple as it seems. As for the dubbing, the original language is always more emotional, but if the subtitles makes you enjoy it more, you should keep doing them.

[@sofi__dv]

if netflix doesnt renew this im gonna throw hands :))

[@logitech2187]

That was one of the most amazing season of any show that I have watched. We need a season 2 ASAP. The ending was heart breaking. Once again, the acting by Edvin and Omar and the rest of the cast, the music, the direction, it all was on point. I loved how it was a cliffhanger but not one. The I love you part was so sweet and warm. My heart goes out to both. The end look where Edvin (Wilhem) looks directly into the cam was perfect, like I love him and I will burn this down to be with the person he love and that I can do both look. I think in season 2 which I hope we get, will show us the tug of war between the royal family and Wilhelm and Simon's love for each other and how the public, the media and the royal family will react. I also hope we can see Simon or his mother pay a visit to the Palace and or castle to visit. One thing I will miss is the brother interaction, I would have loved to see how Erik and Wilhelm reacted between each other after Erik found out, Most likely Erik would love him for who he is and be a supportive older brother. I think the only thing Willies mom cares about is how the royal family will continue after Willie takes over and who will take over from him. I think the queen doesnt care if willie is gay, I think personally she had something going on with someone that didnt go over well, I say this due to here “unfortunate romance” comment. I think WIllie took a risk by hugging Simon and telling him that he loves him in front of everyone and they were like yeah ok, they looked and thats all. Willie is slowly figuring out what he wants and he wants Simon and he just needs to think on how to go about it. Well done. I cant wait for season 2 with more eppy.

[@vibekiller6698]

This show is so powerful. It focuses on the heteronormative society we live in, the way people of status are effected if they are caught being anything but straight. I love how they ended the show, Simon not saying I love you just shows his character knows exactly what he deserves, and it’s so powerful. Simon is such a strong character. Wilhelm is definitely going through a lot, and I don’t think it’s the right time for him to love someone. If they have a season 2 I can imagine him spending the holidays with his family being the crown prince and hating it, and just longing for Simon so much that he would do anything to get him back. August deserves so much worse, and I think the fact that Wilhelm says “you’re not my family anymore.” Is such a good response. Because all August ever tried to do, was stay on the good side of the royal family. But he got so angry at Wilhelm that he thought taking him down would give him some sort of joy. He doesn’t give a damn when he finds out Wilhelm payed his tuition, because it’s like he knew that outcome would happen. But Wilhelm saying he isn’t family is kinda like that’s it. Once he’s king, August is gone. I really love this show, it’s so powerful and beautiful. Praying for a season 2.

[@Hanna-kr5yw]

I think it could go realy bad with August, we know what his dad did.

[@vibekiller6698]

@@Hanna-kr5yw that’s true~ although I don’t think the show would go that far. I definitely think they would give him something to redeem his character. Especially since we did see a genuine side to him for a second when he was talking to Wilhelm about what Erik would have wanted. The show places little snippets where he isn’t too bad, and it shows he does care, he just doesn’t show it in ways that matter. I think August could be a powerful character, i can’t wait for a season two 😂😂😂 sorry I get so into writing these.

[@maikennorderud2554]

just want to point out that the song in the ending scene in this episode, when Wille hugs Simon and tells him he loves him, is the same song used in the football field scene in episode three, where Wille is high and Simon rescues him. i just cant get it out of my head, like it has to have some sort of meaning you know. it was played in episode three after Wille rejected Simon but then they still got together, and now here after the rejection but the feelings are still there. i dont quite know how to put it into words, but it has to have some meaning or hint regarding a second season if that happens. watched the show twice and didnt notice this until i watched your videos! i am from Norway and watched the show in Swedish since i understand the language, and i have to agree with the others that Wille sounds more angry in english than in Swedish, probably because his other feelings are easier to express through his native language. also want to mention that Edvin and Omar, as well as all the other young characters in the show, are such good actors and really took this show to another level because of how amazing their acting was. i feel like the queen and other adults in the show are not able to portray their characters as well as the young actors, which makes their acting feel quite average compared to the amazing acting from all of the young characters. and regarding the question 'is it because he is a boy?', i really do believe thats what its about. having a similar culture like Sweden, LGBTQ+ is so common and accepted in society, however, in the royal families and the higher people of society, its less accepted, because the blood line needs to be carried on and the engrained patriarchy in the monarchy.

i think the reason they urged him to cover up his relationship with simon is both bc he was caught in a sexual act and it was with a boy that wasn't nearly in the upper class that the royalty and nobility are in. and i don't think it would have been such a big problem for the royal court if it was a girl- i think the series mainly focuses on how we still live in a heteronormative society especially when it comes to someone as important in status as the crown prince... this is just my opinion but please let me know if you think have a different opinion:))

[@ottopettersson1387]

I dont think their difference in class is the reason. Current Swedish royalty have married reality stars and personal trainers. It’s most likely just that it’s a video showing them in a sexual act. Of course, the act being with another boy doesnt help

[@mtheiii_greatconquerorofrome]

@@ottopettersson1387 thank you for the insight:)

[@jimsummers3313]

In my opinion, it's more about Wilhelm being expected to continue the future Royal family line of succession by marrying the traditionally required female wife. The mom seemed unfazed by the gay relationship, and it's likely there would have been other known gay members of the Royal Family in previous generations. The likely accepted option for Wilhelm would be to do his royal duty with an arranged marriage, while keeping his gay relationship private, similar to many straight arranged royal marriages where both parties could pursue their own romances on the side, but kept strictly private > away from the prying eyes of the media & public.

Ive watched the episode a few times now, I don't think the Queen was angry or even phased that Wilhelm was gay or with a boy, I think shes more concerned about the family image of a sex scandal and the line of succession being threatened, of course Wilhelm being with Simon means their royal line is terminated.

I love this show soooo much, cant stop watchin it. And now i cant stop watchin you watchin it.

[@minettk]

You’re reactions are perfect... honestly I felt the same way you did the whole time. I absolutely respect your need to watch in English especially since the actors did their own dub work, but if you do re-watch, now that you know the story I recommend the original. The impact is even more powerful somehow. Thanks for these videos! I’m desperate for a season 2. I also think the queen’s actions might be enough for Wilhelm to go rogue. Fingers crossed.

You responded to a comment saying that watching Skam now seems like a good idea and to that I say: PLEASE DO IT 😭 That show is sooo unique, you're gonna love it and I'll tell you why: - The episodes are between 15 and 30 minutes each and they're divided by clips that they would post on the official site at the "same time". For example: if a certain scene happens on a Thursday at 9:23am, they would upload that scene to their site on Thursday, 9:23am. Now, imagine being a fan of the series at that time. You're in school and suddenly there's a new clip, you go to the bathroom with your friends to watch it 'cause you cannot wait until you get home haha I even heard of people being at parties and the DJ stopping the music so everyone could watch the new scene!! And they'd do that through the whole week, then we had the complete episode on Saturday; - They also had Instagram accounts for the main characters and they'd post regularly there; - They interviewed real teenagers to learn about their struggles and how they deal with things; - They let the actors improvise a lot of things in the script and they would even suggest changes like "what if I said this and that in this scene?" The result of all these cool ideas was a show that felt completely real and raw with characters we can *really* relate to! Every season focuses on a character, we have 4 seasons but the series really exploded in season 3, which is the one focused on a gay romance and it even won an award for having the best scene on Norwegian TV at that year. I was thinking... The episodes are really short sometimes and we have 4 seasons to get through, so maybe you could do 2 episodes per video, if you don't want to spend too much time on this series (or if you want to get to season 3 faster 🤭). Idk, it's just a suggestion in case you really decide to watch Skam

Excellent commentary and analysis! "Young Royals" definitely exposes "Love, Victor" for the vastly inferior Hollywood schlock that it is in terms of writing, acting, directing, characters, dialogue, emotion, storylines > with thankfully NO ridiculously non-sensical "love triangles" and annoying "cliffhangers"!

Great reaction also maybe you could react to Omar and Edvin playing a game in the Netflix channel.

[@josefienhertzberg4262]

I can't watch Elite anymore without getting annoyed by the insincere. It's so much more black and white and so much less real than young royals. Which teenager has such (gay) sex? It's adults playing teens playing a way too grown-up life again. It's nice fake but it's too often that we are presented with this kind of shit and it makes us feel small and insignificant in the end. How often do you see a Vilhelm or a Simon on television? And how often do we see the princesses like Carla, the Cinderellas Cayatena, the much too grown-up Valerios in series? This is what we're presented with as 'normal' and I don't think it's normal!

[@josefienhertzberg4262]

That's one of the things I think is great of the show: They never specify if it's bad because it's a boy, because it's someone of a lower class or just because it's a sexual video. Everyone can read into it what they think is the most fitting

I think Sara is right. Wilhelm Hanks him around a lot, and their relationship always goes according to Wilhelm's needs. It isn't very fair to Simon, which is why his choice makes total sense.

@@CoreysCouch88 I think that there are recurring characters and things from previous seasons are relevant but i dont think its strictly needed as each season of skam focuses on a different person in the larger friend group.

[@sapphiro]

Royal family's concern is purely the bloodline. Wilhelm needs to provide them with heir, a successor to the throne so the royal bloodline can continue and keep the titles and wealth. They would let him have a secret relationship with Simon as long as he marries a woman (princess?) and produces royal children to keep the appearances for the public.

[@Svtmme73]

He can still have a biological child, and raise his son or daughter with a husband. The (royal) world should be ready to accept that.

[@youwsernayme]

if it were real life I think the throne would just go to whoever’s next in line after wilhelm. like, surely he has other relatives like cousins etc, that would be the next heir after wilhelm. same as if he’d been unable to get a child or if he unexpectedly died, etc.

[@AnxietyRat]

@@Svtmme73 A surrogate child is still legally concidered a bastard. I think a bastard taking the throne would work as an heir... But it would still tarnish their families reputation. Which they are trying to avoid at all costs, clearly.

Did they breakup?? Will they ever meet again?? 3. I wonder what kind of King will Wilhelm be 4. I NEED TO SEE AUGUST BEING PUNISHED FOR HIS ACTIONS 🙂 5. Did Sara really take August's offer? (We assume she did because of her kiss and teh fact that she didn't rat August out but I wonder what her life will be as an "Insider" of Hillerska) 6. It's too beautiful to not have a season 2 7. I WANT WILHELM AND SIMON TO HAVE A HAPPY ENDING 💳💥💳💥💳💥 PLEASE 😭😭😭. Theres literally like a million more reasons why we need a season 2 (or even a 3) for Young royals...

[@madelenewesterdahl8091]

Fact . Royal court outed in October that princess Estelle (crown prinsess after Victoria) can marry whom ever she wants. That's interesting.

[@CoreysCouch88]

Let’s hope this can play out in the show

[@madelenewesterdahl8091]

@@CoreysCouch88 Yes and its a big step in royal history. But Victoria the current crown princess married a " commoner" so did Prince Carl Philip and princess Madeleine . Earlier in history the royals often married other royals from other countries. Excuse my bad grammar.

[@gerganakantcheva8176]

But isn't the bigger "issue" here that Wilhelm and a guy could never have legal royal heirs together? Looking at Prince Albert of Manaco, who also married a commoner and has children out of wedlock, and only the children he has with his spouse can succeed him on the throne. So if Wilhelm as the crown prince would come out as gay and eventually marry a guy, his children wouldn't be in line for the throne so his royal line ends with him. Wilhelm's children with a husband would always have the genes of a woman he's not married to.

[@salmes141]

I think that it being a boy is fuel for the fire but not the whole point. Although Augusts reaction was probably mostly because its Simon specifically. The fact that he is a boy, that he is off a different economic class and had that whole exchange about the money with August. I also think that August leaked the video without much thought and was hurt and being petty but also with the intention of hurting Wilhelm as much as possible by not only releasing a video of such an intimate moment but also outing him.

[@vilmamakinen5657]

One thing that bothered me, but also not, was that I didn’t understand the timeline. Sweden is not a homophobic country so I don’t get why Wilhelm’s sexuality was such a big deal. It would maybe make some headlines because of him being the first out royal, but the people would have “approved”. It’s not his duty as crown prince to be straight.

[@EmberC]

It is about heirs and the bloodline.

At first I thought it was an okay series (mainly because I’m a bit annoyed at how it ended) but after watching it again I just can’t wait for a season two.

[@guypeters4597]

Just one thing bugging me. How did the mother know?

[@judydechant9205]

I often have wondered that myself. I almost wonder if ( for once ) August did the right thing and told the queen. Guess they could have matched the time frame of someone logging into that computer and the release of the video. They traced the IP address to that computer. So log in information and time stamp video was released should be close.

[@meganlaurel218]

Sweden is pretty progressive and has had gay marriage for ever at least compared to the States. So i don’t think the problem was with him being gay, but I also don’t have a full understanding of the monarchy in general. I will also say there is a gay royal, so I would think in reality it happens.
