How was Young Royals? 👇👇🔥

[@camilahopper11]

UM IT WAS SLAY AMAZING ENDING

[@kimberlyjade8786]

After this season August deserves a long long therapy session…

[@dreitwix]

And me too 😂

[@DragonKid307]

Seriously I kinda felt bad for August this season………. Not excusing his horrible mistakes, but like damn

[@lucy_the_cat9725]

the swedish accent on the english makes it even funnier😭

[@jessywastaken5782]

fr

[@cheekyramen]

“where are the romcom roles” please cast him and frida in a romcom I'M BEGGING

[@mishti11]

I actually really liked august this season. I didn't forget what he did in the past seasons but it all makes sense now. I felt so bad for him at times

[@sarafauzikadem8954]

SAME!!

[@DNair23]

How we'll hate August... that's how stunningly Malte has played this character. What an actor! ♥

[@Mrstarsdocumentary]

I fucking love matle and his silliness im gonna explode

[@siaoliao]

such a lovable good offscreen and an incredible actor. august is really complex and malte played him perfectly

[@nadine.x80]

I love you too Malte, s3 part 1 shattered my soul 😭❤

[@jaidenjn]

Truly loved seeing the growth of August as a character. Truly a very well-written antagonist that really brings in that hate-love relationship for the audience. Malter did a phenomenal job!

[@tillytilbrook2362]

Malte has me giggling and kicking my feet, ngl

[@Fluffymonkeyem]

August is my favorite character and Malte is my favorite actor in the show. I loved Malte in Fejk too, he's so good with emotions!

[@Miss.Simone-Smiles]

A lot of people in the fandom (including myself) don’t particularly like August 😅 I did feel bad for August in season 3, I can almost sense that he wants to change. I was just curious to what makes him your favourite character, maybe it’ll change my point of view that I have on August 🤷‍♀️

[@Fluffymonkeyem]

@Miss.Simone-Smiles Yeah, I'm aware of that. I think though that liking a character doesn't always have to be about liking the actions the character takes. Sometimes people assume that I agree with his actions when they find out he's my favorite. I'm not the only one who has him as a favorite either, haha. I find his backstory interesting. He's a sidelined person in the royal family to start with, which makes me intrigued. His dad has committed suicide and he's clearly not coping well. He's developed what's pretty obviously an eating disorder, he's become addicted to drugs to cope with the stress of trying to live up to his dad's image and the classist society he's a part of. He's also got the added on grief of the loss of Erik. Then his cousin comes around, and I can imagine that must be tough. He's not even a real royal and is trying so hard to follow the rules of the society he's been placed in, and his young cousin arrives and just refuses to play by the rules. He sees what to him must be a big privilege, Wille being crown prince, being squandered (I dont necessarily agree). And that's just season one! All of that makes him super interesting to me. Plus, he winds up doing something completely messed up, and I'm someone who likes to explore why that kind of thing happens. During the first episode, when he first appeared, all I knew about the show was that a prince falls in love with another student who is a different class. I thought for sure August would walk in on them kissing and tell all the students or something. He totally outed them, but it was how he did it that subverted my expectations and made me go, "okay this is different. This one's gonna be my fave" Also, in season two, I think he becomes even more interesting when he finds himself having romantic feelings for Sara. New layer to the character. Also, like I mentioned, Malte is just a superb actor. His ability to emote is so so good! And that makes me like the character even more. He's do haughty and full of himself, but there are times when we see him stressed, anxious, panicked, afraid, angry, in love. I really like how he portrays all of them, especially with this character.

[@Miss.Simone-Smiles]

@@Fluffymonkeyem Ah! Yes! I too believe August is a character that makes the show intriguing. It didn’t cross my mind that having a favourite character means that you have to agree with that characters motives and actions. August isn’t my personal favourite character, but he is certainly the character that makes me want to keep watching. (except for the romance between Wilhelm and Simone of course!) He’s made some poor choices, but without those choices the show wouldn’t be the same. As you stated, his backstory is very full on, and there’s a lot of strings attached. I believe that August is a very important character to the show, and I definitely understand why people, such as yourself, find him somewhat fascinating, making him your favourite character.

[@heidisita30]

hi! where were u able to watch fejk? i can't seem to find a site that has it :(

[@Fluffymonkeyem]

@@heidisita30 whoops I thought I'd responded but I think it was removed because of the link. It's on the SVT Play website. It's in Swedish though. There is a trick to get English subtitles but it only works on Microsoft edge. Load up the page with the show. Select the option on the browser to translate swedish to English. Click the gear on the website video player and an English subtitle option shows up. Happy watching! 😊

[@gebruikersnaam.31]

Oh god, i would hug him anytime, any moment, any day...

[@heidisita30]

Malte is such a talented actor, I will keep looking up to his projects!!

[@tibakhalid5328]

I have hated and loved August in the show! But when I watch Malte in interviews I absolutely adore him. He sounds so cute when he speaks ☺

[@ellx.0953]

Malteeeee >>>>>>>>

[@romyok7409]

Although i did not like August one bit, Malte is adorable, skip the mustache though xD❤

[@reyn1318]

the mustache is adorable on hin tho XD

[@yasmini1047]

1:26 his sooo fine😍😍😍

[@kjirsten7600]

I feel like I’m the only person who really wanted August to somehow feel better this season. I know filming and then releasing such an intimate video is a pretty awful thing to do. But, like Wilhelm doesn’t need to treat him like absolute crap all the time. And I was really hoping for Sara to get back with August. They both love each other. I don’t think August’s releasing the video should keep them apart. Like, they actually love each other. And August just really needs someone on his side. And I just think Felice really needed to calm down. It is not like Sara was evil. She never intentionally hurts someone. Oh and Wilhelm threatening August with the gun was really messed up. Everybody in this show needs therapy. I feel like if I was Simon, I would not want to be with Wilhelm if he pointed a rifle at someone and threatened to kill them if they didn’t tell him who told him about Simon wanting to go to the police. I honestly just think a lot of crazy stuff is going on. I’m not even sure that I am rooting for Wilhelm and Simon at this point. There are just so many things that seem to be going wrong for them. And Wilhelm saying that he was in the video? That was a lot. I just felt like he never should have made the statement that he wasn’t in the video and he never should have said he was in the video. I wish he never said anything. If only the woman from the royal court would have called August sooner about helping his financial situation because Wille had her look into it. Maybe then, he wouldn’t have posted the video. Maybe then, he would have deleted it and kept quiet about what he saw. Maybe then August and Wilhelm could have had a good relationship. But I mean that is the whole story of the show isn’t it (the video getting out)? Anyways, I’ll say it again, everyone needs therapy. These are just random thoughts that came to me right now. Sorry if I went all over the place.

[@bobsayshello7112]

He was a classit asshole also so and willie didn't really treat him like shit not to mention wilhelm was the one who helped with his tuition buddy

[@brit7627]

Hes sooooo hot

[@nvm5406]

[@rebeckarutgersson4504]

Får dead skeleton heads
