Some fun facts: The football field scene was totally improvised by Edvin. The kiss on the date also was and I think a lot of the dialogue by the lake. And the fish scene- Edvin suggested to Omar that he make Simon’s fish the names of his old boy band members, which he did. But while filming, Omar was not expecting the hug/neck nuzzle so he forgot his lines. That’s why it feels so realistic when Simon cannot remember the names of his fish!
*correction:* the entire fish scene was choreographed so the back hug was planned and expected. although for the fish names, omar knew the type of names he was going for (similar to his bandmate’s) but he had to come up with them on the spot while filming the take (thus it being improvised). that’s why it came out like that :)
Love how Wille is mad at Simon for dealing drugs but isn't that he and his friends used the said drugs. It's ties to episode one rich Vs Poor dynamic where when the poor does it it's a crime.
The ending WAS anticlimactic it's true, but I also really liked it because you can tell that he's got a fire lit up inside him. Hugging Simon in front of the students and staff (and many parents!) was basically acknowledging that it totally was him, b/c you KNOW his mom was still like, you better not be seen with Simon in public anymore, even after the announcement. But after the phone call with her, he was like, screw that. But he can't just go blow it all up immediately, and respecting Simon's wishes is important too, so... big public hug. I'm just glad I already knew there was going to be a season 2 when I watched!
i don't think simon was mad that wilhelm denied it was him in the video because it meant what they had wasn't real, i think he was mad because now he was in the situation alone since everyone already knew that he was in the video! loved ur reaction btw 🧡
but the thing is, denying wilhelm is in the video also makes simon go from the teenage crown prince's gay lover to just some random kid who's the victim of an actual criminal offence in the eyes of everyone who isn't people from school or his friends+fam and he's probably going to get more peace/less tabloid coverage
@@iyawakarehen yeah I thought about that too. It’s really interesting. Because on the one hand it feels like a betrayal from Wilhelm cuz they’re “not in it together” But on the other hand, the only reason the public cared was because it was Prince Wilhelm. With that denial, it just becomes a random video and people will lose interest immediately. The only people who know are the school and they don’t really care.
I kind of liked the ending haha I can see Simon side and think he's right in not wanting to be anybody's secret, he deserves more. At the same time Wilhelms is still in the process of discovering and accepting himself (by the way, he can be bi/pan) and it would be chaotic for him to confirm that he is the person in the video. I think at that moment there was no way they could continue together. (I'm Brazilian, so sorry for bad English)
@@iaraferreira6251 Estou me sentindo um pouco menos solitária agora, obrigada por isso Iara. Aliás, estou paranoica com o meu "haha" pq não sei se é algo brasileiro ou universal KKKKK
Thanks! I did not see it. It's just that a lot of people say he's gay just because he's having a relationship with a boy, as if it's the only possibility of sexuality. But it's good to know he doesn't label himself!
"Because Wilhelm, no one asked you to trust August" well his big brother who was literally the only person he looked up to did ask him to do exactly that 😂 But I love your reactions, also great that you put several episodes in one video so we don't have to wait forever for the next one!
This show was such a cultural reset, honestly. Although Sweden is one of the most LGBTQ+ friendly countries in the world, we lack a lot in proper queer representation in mainstream media. To me and a lot of other queer Swedes, this show means so much. I really wish something like this show had come out when I was still a teen and struggling to find myself, I think it would have been so comforting. It's still comforting although I'm already 25... Also, 19:28 Tja is a very, very informal way of saying Hi, kinda like what's up, not really the word I would go for as one of the first Swedish words to learn 😂 Also, you kinda have to say it while raising your chin at the person you're saying it to, otherwise it just seems wrong lol Thank you for reacting to Young Royals, it was so much fun and I hope you do season 2 when it comes out 😊
@@Annaonesun hmm yeah maybe a regional thing then! but for example at min 22:00 in this video you can see her say tja without the nod: th-cam.com/video/ur51zMfvW2M/w-d-xo.html
As a queer Swede, this show is by far the best show ive ever watched regarding queer representation. Also i agree with the tja thing. Hej or hejsan is a more formal way to say hi to people.
As someone who lives in Sweden, I will say, yes, Sweden Is an extremely lgbt friendly country, but the most of the ppl who live here doesn't rlly support us just bcuz of the demonization of us from the US and other countries. Like u cant go a day in the schoolyard without hearing the word bög or gay shouted to someother kid. It's mainly used as a slang for someone who's "bad" at a sports game or just someone who gives of "gay vibes" just bcuz they are very kind and not as agressive as the avarege dude. I just figured I'd share. Also sry for bad english, its not my 1st language
okay here’s what i think the dad did: he used sarah’s disabilities specifically her adhd and bought her medicine in bulk and used it for himself hence the mention of abuse of drugs and sarah feeling betrayed idk if they mentioned this in the show bc i forgot but this is my theory
Yes, that and the fact that it seems like he was violent while high/drunk. Just look at the scene where he discovered that Simon stole his medicine. Just to be clear, I understand why the dad is angry since he needs the medicine, but physical violence is never okay.
I really just wanna say thank you to y’all for editing multiple episodes in one reaction I can only imagine how much work it is and we really appreciate it love 💕
I don’t think the ending was bad at all as it left us on a kind of cliffhanger. I like how it builds up so that you expect that Wilhelm and Simon will ‘make up’ at the end; Simon didn’t accept Wilhelm’s love or return it, he dismisses it. It also leaves the show on quite an ambiguous note in a sense that you can’t really predict what will happen in season 2 (cos nothing was confirmed at the end of the season). It’s way more gripping that way. Also I think its more unexpected rather than anticlimactic which makes it great. In my opinion it’s a great way to end a tv show season. Plus ending TV show seasons in a positive light is too overused so…😜🤞🏼🤞🏼 other than that loved the vid😎
Yeah, I think that was the best way to end the show. it wouldnt have had the same impact any other way. It also opens the door for more opportunities in season 2.
Wille is totally shaking things up in season two. That look is… fuck this shit! I’m done. Everyone I trusted has betrayed me. I love Simon and I’m fighting for him. Trust. The Queen is going to regret this. She should have supported her son and she put the monarchy’s reputation first. It won’t go well for her.
The collared dresses are part of a swedish tradition called Lucia, where basically people dress up like they did in the show and sing celebratory songs about the power of light in the middle of Sweden's dark winter. It stems from a celebration of the Italian saint Lucia as well. It's celebrated every year on December 13, and it's especially common for school kids to put on Lucia performances every year. But there are also more "professional" ones done all over the country, and one like official one that airs on tv. :)
Actually I think it was a great ending. I didn't like it at first, but this way we're just in suspense for the next season. If they publicly kissed or Wilhelm said he was in the video, the story would have ended there. But now the story will continue. Also I think it fits really well to the characters. Simon just standing up for himself and Wilhelm being raised with responsibilities that are now (with Eriks death) even bigger than before. Pretty sure they both know they love each other, but the circumstances just don't fit at the moment.
the call back with wilhelm making eye contact with the camera, is not only him breaking the fourth wall but also him acknowledging that camera's are up in his face all the time as the prince, always watching his every move...even kinda making a joke out of the way we literally always talk about how everyone up in his business but we as the audience are the most invested LOL i love it
August kissed Sarah cause he was jealous of Wilhelm, he noticed Felice liked him and became paranoid she was cheating on him with Wille,, I guess he thought some shit like "Felice is cheating on me with Wilhelm, then I'll cheat on her with Sarah",,, who knows what goes through his brain tbh Something I love about Young Royals is the communication between the characters,, like when you were worried Sarah wasn't gonna tell Felice August kissed her, but she did and avoided a whole lot of drama. Of course they still have a lot of miscommunication but I feel that it's on a more realistic amount, and it doesn't feel like cheap drama
the thing is , i get it that August has traumas but didn't he only outed Wilhelm , he shared child pornography with world along with Simons's image and that's not my far okay , annoyes the hell out of me that the Queen simply let that go cause he's family (and fun fact : Edvin that plays Wilhelm said that the caracther is unlabeled)
@@Sssidk she knew that was august way before Wilhelm's statement , she simply wanted to let it go and by saying it wasn't him in the video just made everything be "settled"
@@maria-ih4vx she didn't know before Wilhelm's statement. She advised him to say it wasn't him because she didn't want another scandal especially now that Wilhelm was the crown prince. It had nothing to do with their relationship to August
@@Sssidk God , I'm not saying she advised willie to say it wasn't him because of August , that was clear that she didn't know when she went to see him at school but she did knew before Willie decided to say it it wasn't him , what I'm trying to say is that she didn't do anything with August knowing that he exposed her son and that annoyes me
@@maria-ih4vx and I'm saying that she didn't know before the denial. Let's even say she knew, what would she have done? spank him?? And she didn't say she's letting it go, she said they'll get nothing by going public so maybe she will handle it on her own, in private
I love the end of the season because it really sets up a future season. I like that they kind of ended it on a cliffhanger and you see this anger in Wille’s face. He has been basically betrayed and abandoned by his family and the monarchy and he is ready to FIGHT. The creator, Lisa Ambjörn, already had season two storyboarded before even knowing for sure the show would be renewed. She already had a plan for the future which is why the show ends the way that it does with us sort of hanging on not really sure what’s going to happen. This show is so good. Like you say, it’s not really what you expect but that’s all for the better. I thought it was going to be some kind of typical teen show that would be enjoyable, but it completely surprised me with how authentic and beautiful it is. And how they really delve into the experience of Wille as a prince- no freedom, no privacy. I also love how you couldn’t be angry at either Wille or Simon. Because they are BOTH right. It’s not so simple for Wille to just come out because he has the entire monarchy resting on his shoulders. But it also makes sense that someone like Simon, who is openly gay, doesn’t want to be in a relationship where he has to sneak around. That’s what makes it both heartbreaking but also understandable for both of them. Something has to give and the obvious right answer is for Wille to stand for love. What I really love about the show is that it doesn’t make homophobia a thing when it comes to the classmates. It also doesn’t make Wille have internalized homophobia. Instead, the homophobia is shown to be INSTITUTIONAL with the monarchy and the position Wille is in. His agency is taken away from him, because if it was just him, liking a boy, and he was a normal citizen, he wouldn’t care. Instead he’s in a position where he can’t be who he wants to be or who he is because of his status and his life. So amazingly done.
Season 2 is on its way!!! I like what you said about Simon's dad. I can get a picture of how bad being next to him was by the way Simon acted when Wille was high. He was so angry and worried at the same time. AND YES WILLE IS A TEDDY BEAR. I guess he never had the chance to show who he is 'cause his mom and his position used to held him back. Even his bedroom looks kinda sad, there's nothing there telling us who he is or what he likes.
The way the Wilhem feels confortable with Simon and demonstrates it through his touch AAAA So cute. And i'm thinking a lot about how finding the stoned Wille messed with Simon, because he has all the relationship with his father that he didn't even tell. Oh my fucking god! (as Omar said). Can't wait for the Season 2.
I dunno I really loved the ending! didn't end on a huge cliffhanger which would've annoyed me more, but doesn't wrap everything up nicely to keep you wanting S2. and the 'Revolution' playing at the same time when he looks at the camera oml, im just hoping s2 is longer.
the ending wasn’t bad!! it’s actually kinda genius to leave an open ending in case the show gets cancelled (at that point they still had no idea whether it was going to get renewed), because in that case people can just think of their own little ending instead of being stuck on a cliffhanger that never gets resolved.
25:43 I know right?!?! I'm so SO soft for them, my heart actually hurts just by remembering the series and this two together, it's overwhelmingly cute and adlsuflagpgnp I CAN'T. They must be protected at all costs!
Loved the call back in the end to the first episode, like he was saying, that there is more drama to come. I feel bad for August about his dad, but other than that I really really don't like him. Understandable that Simon didn't want to be Wilhelms secret, and the Queen seems to care more about their reputation and legacy than her son. Can't wait for season 2 next year, even if it's only 6 episodes like this season.
The way he saw at the end he looked like am gonna go burn this monarchy down and am gonna go back to u, that I love you in the end sounded more like a promise that he will come back to him as a stronger one
You are thinking differently and that is cool. I have never heard someone before who: -Saw at the memorial song that their relation was out of question - empathized for August at the society thing -told Sara has to run form library when August leached the video -thought Sara tries to be Felice -was realistic about what they couldn't expected from the statement -differences statement for appearances, and their real relation -suspect Felice still obsessing over Wilhem -Saw the queen point about August - realized the strength Simon to sing at church after the humiliation Sara betrayed her brother too. Wilhem and Simon were outed ok, but also they just have their private moment expose, and that one can hurt too.
Because he was shocked he didn't put it together sooner and is contemplating what to do with this information. He's going over it again and again in his head trying to piece it a together. He's also mad because Wilhelm is with someone of lower status, not being noble. He believes anyone not noble can't be trusted and that Wilhelm should only be hanging out with other "blue bloods". This was all confirmed by the head writer Lisa Ambjorn in one of her insta lives
@@aimeegrant2856 August was slow on the uptake. Anytime Wilhelm was motivated was because of Simon. Get up for work out☑️ get into rowing ☑️go to parents lunch ☑️put his foot down on trying to kick his boyfriend out of school ☑️
It’s so fun when people get confused with Swedish culture and I love seeing it because idk what other people think is weird because I’m use to it you know!
@@knaskamilla lmao right, getting someone who's hammered to bed can be hard enough when you're already in the house so i can imagine that, after biking from the football field and climbing back in through the window, simon was done enough with taking his bf's shoes and shirt off so he could put him in bed x)
@@knaskamilla exactly, and simon also biked from his house to pick up wilhelm and although i'd assume that first trip was not that long, the poor kid's must have been t i r e d by the time they got to hillerska so he's even more forgiven for letting wilhelm sleep in his jeans
Best reaction vid ever i swear. I literally just discovered your chanel LMAO and i already love your energy sm, instantly subscribed :) ALSO PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO SEASON 2 I BEG YOUU
i don't really like watching shows but THIS! oh my god it's 100% my favorite show i've watched. it's just so real and uh the story is amazing. also i was exited bc of the lgbtq representation in a swedish show! i'm soo hyped for season two i CAN'T wait! also i loved the reaction to this!!
i love how between september and july (because we don’t say the A word 🙅♀️) says “wilhelm’s got everything” though wilhelm has lost the only two people he’s ever loved. 😖
Did anyone else find the song choices weird in the scenes the choir sings? It takes a fool to remain sane was so random and then after Erik's death the lyrics go "so you say you want to be remembered baby" baby??????we're talking about the dead Prince here so why baby??? I haven't seen anyone talk about it yet and idk if I'm the only one that finds those 2 songs kind of hilarious because of how random they were lol
I LOVE your reaction, had so much fun rewatching the show with you, u cant even imagine p.s: now i have to see if u have other reactions to shows i like on ur channel
Great review when I could hear you. I love your reaction to when Simon came outside from the dorm and ran into the Queen (the look on his face was priceless). Great job!
17:43 It is a religious tradition we have in Sweden called Lucia. Lucia was an italian girl i'm not really sure how the whole story goes but she removed her eyes before her death because she didn't wanted to lose her virginity or sum, put them on a plate and got a new pair by god and became a saint. Now we celebrate her december 13th by doing "Luciatåg" Luciatrains where we go in trains/lines and sing songs. One girl gets to be Lucia at the front and center of the train/line and wear the same white dress as Willhelm is wearing but with a red ribbon around the waist and a candle crown to represent the light god gave Lucia. After Lucia in line is "tärna" usually girls are "tärnor". They have the same white dress, silver glitter crown and around the wait and a candle in their hand. Next is the boys who usually are "sjärngosse", starboys, with a cone dected out with gold stars and a sick with a big star. This is what Simon an Willhelm were because they have the white dress. But boys can also be Santa Claus or his elves, and previously you could be a gingerbread man but some thinks that's racist becuase it's kinda like blackface/making the brown/black kid in class be gingerbreadman just becuase they're poc i'm not really sure it's kinda controversial. Oh and usually one class does one Luciatrain for the school to watch and then we eat "lussekatter/lussebullar" and/or gingerbread, and washing it down with hot chocolate, milk or coffee. Sorry this was long, but i kinda wanted to share our tradition:)
I'm not sure if you guys are doing some of these videos by yourselves, on purpose or not, but I kinda fwiiii!! because tese has the "never have i ever" series and now you have the "young royals" one. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not but i really like thissss! yall have videos together, which are freaking great, and now some videos alone. i love thissss.
I honestly like the ending, it's not a huge cliffhanger and the conflict got at least somewhat resolved but it also clearly leads into a second season. Because the whole story (like what would coming out publicly mean for Wilhelm, will there be consequences for August etc) is not resolved, I think it they had kissed, it wouldn't have fit really because it would have made it seem like it's over but it isn't if that makes sense?
This show has so many layers and i love how every person has some reason to do what they do even if its still not okay but they have some drive to do it and is not just evil bc they have no heart for anything.its amazing how all the different ideas obstruct the view of the value of what they have done.this show is truly realistically reflecting their feeling and lives of these people even though this has never happened. The story is so deep and complicated that i have watched it several times to deeper understand it. I personally dosagree that the ending is anticlamatic .i think it poses question of the season 2 and how their realtionship will evolve.its a rather melancolic meaning but i will argue that it has an amazing climax that would drove me to watch a 1000 more hours of it
girl you're so funny lol I actually agree with you, i mean i understand Simon but i think it was the right thing to deny it was Wilhelm in the video. Also i reallyyy want to see August getting some kind of punishment, that's not right
you can see both of them are feeling pain because of what happen because of what august did and how wilham mother dont care all she think is about the crown nothing else its her fault as well makeing wilham to lie about the video but also u can see they still in love with each other and the song is so pain for its hurts i love how Wilhelm said to simon i love you and hug him because he still love him and simon love him too and i love when wilham look into the camera and that look means its going to be a new revolution and he is going to fright back hard.

„sing celebratory songs about the power of the light in the middle of Swedens dark winter“
that‘s actually so beautiful omg?!
In Germany we have Santa Lucia too just not the same traditions!! It was so interesting seeing how other European countries celebrate it
@@personunknown7129 We got Santa Lucia in Germany? Really? Never heard of it (besides from Finland)
Same in denmark
Actually I think it was a great ending. I didn't like it at first, but this way we're just in suspense for the next season. If they publicly kissed or Wilhelm said he was in the video, the story would have ended there. But now the story will continue.
Also I think it fits really well to the characters. Simon just standing up for himself and Wilhelm being raised with responsibilities that are now (with Eriks death) even bigger than before. Pretty sure they both know they love each other, but the circumstances just don't fit at the moment.
the call back with wilhelm making eye contact with the camera, is not only him breaking the fourth wall but also him acknowledging that camera's are up in his face all the time as the prince, always watching his every move...even kinda making a joke out of the way we literally always talk about how everyone up in his business but we as the audience are the most invested LOL i love it
I feel like i'm your friend when i'm watching your reactions. They are so much fun, i love them!
August kissed Sarah cause he was jealous of Wilhelm, he noticed Felice liked him and became paranoid she was cheating on him with Wille,, I guess he thought some shit like "Felice is cheating on me with Wilhelm, then I'll cheat on her with Sarah",,, who knows what goes through his brain tbh
Something I love about Young Royals is the communication between the characters,, like when you were worried Sarah wasn't gonna tell Felice August kissed her, but she did and avoided a whole lot of drama. Of course they still have a lot of miscommunication but I feel that it's on a more realistic amount, and it doesn't feel like cheap drama
the thing is , i get it that August has traumas but didn't he only outed Wilhelm , he shared child pornography with world along with Simons's image and that's not my far okay , annoyes the hell out of me that the Queen simply let that go cause he's family (and fun fact : Edvin that plays Wilhelm said that the caracther is unlabeled)
She didn't let it go because August is family. She said they ignore it because Wilhelm had already said that it wasn't him in the video
@@Sssidk she knew that was august way before Wilhelm's statement , she simply wanted to let it go and by saying it wasn't him in the video just made everything be "settled"
@@maria-ih4vx she didn't know before Wilhelm's statement. She advised him to say it wasn't him because she didn't want another scandal especially now that Wilhelm was the crown prince. It had nothing to do with their relationship to August
@@Sssidk God , I'm not saying she advised willie to say it wasn't him because of August , that was clear that she didn't know when she went to see him at school but she did knew before Willie decided to say it it wasn't him , what I'm trying to say is that she didn't do anything with August knowing that he exposed her son and that annoyes me
@@maria-ih4vx and I'm saying that she didn't know before the denial. Let's even say she knew, what would she have done? spank him?? And she didn't say she's letting it go, she said they'll get nothing by going public so maybe she will handle it on her own, in private
These 6 episode seasons ,really ain't it ..like we need more. Loved today's video !
Thank you so much!!
@@TesexChristina SEASON 2 is COMING IF YOU DIDN'T KNOW AHHH
I love the end of the season because it really sets up a future season. I like that they kind of ended it on a cliffhanger and you see this anger in Wille’s face. He has been basically betrayed and abandoned by his family and the monarchy and he is ready to FIGHT. The creator, Lisa Ambjörn, already had season two storyboarded before even knowing for sure the show would be renewed. She already had a plan for the future which is why the show ends the way that it does with us sort of hanging on not really sure what’s going to happen. This show is so good. Like you say, it’s not really what you expect but that’s all for the better. I thought it was going to be some kind of typical teen show that would be enjoyable, but it completely surprised me with how authentic and beautiful it is. And how they really delve into the experience of Wille as a prince- no freedom, no privacy. I also love how you couldn’t be angry at either Wille or Simon. Because they are BOTH right. It’s not so simple for Wille to just come out because he has the entire monarchy resting on his shoulders. But it also makes sense that someone like Simon, who is openly gay, doesn’t want to be in a relationship where he has to sneak around. That’s what makes it both heartbreaking but also understandable for both of them. Something has to give and the obvious right answer is for Wille to stand for love. What I really love about the show is that it doesn’t make homophobia a thing when it comes to the classmates. It also doesn’t make Wille have internalized homophobia. Instead, the homophobia is shown to be INSTITUTIONAL with the monarchy and the position Wille is in. His agency is taken away from him, because if it was just him, liking a boy, and he was a normal citizen, he wouldn’t care. Instead he’s in a position where he can’t be who he wants to be or who he is because of his status and his life. So amazingly done.
“Little bit of a menace” took me out😭
Season 2 is on its way!!! I like what you said about Simon's dad. I can get a picture of how bad being next to him was by the way Simon acted when Wille was high. He was so angry and worried at the same time. AND YES WILLE IS A TEDDY BEAR. I guess he never had the chance to show who he is 'cause his mom and his position used to held him back. Even his bedroom looks kinda sad, there's nothing there telling us who he is or what he likes.
The way the Wilhem feels confortable with Simon and demonstrates it through his touch AAAA So cute. And i'm thinking a lot about how finding the stoned Wille messed with Simon, because he has all the relationship with his father that he didn't even tell. Oh my fucking god! (as Omar said). Can't wait for the Season 2.
@@tatianacarneiropereira6534 YES! His love language is definitely touch. I think about season 2 every day
Wille is so touch starved 🥺
I dunno I really loved the ending! didn't end on a huge cliffhanger which would've annoyed me more, but doesn't wrap everything up nicely to keep you wanting S2. and the 'Revolution' playing at the same time when he looks at the camera oml, im just hoping s2 is longer.
the ending wasn’t bad!! it’s actually kinda genius to leave an open ending in case the show gets cancelled (at that point they still had no idea whether it was going to get renewed), because in that case people can just think of their own little ending instead of being stuck on a cliffhanger that never gets resolved.
25:43 I know right?!?! I'm so SO soft for them, my heart actually hurts just by remembering the series and this two together, it's overwhelmingly cute and adlsuflagpgnp I CAN'T. They must be protected at all costs!
One thing: august didn’t want to send it from his phone because it’s trackable (meanwhile they can only track the school computer’s IP address)
Loved the call back in the end to the first episode, like he was saying, that there is more drama to come. I feel bad for August about his dad, but other than that I really really don't like him. Understandable that Simon didn't want to be Wilhelms secret, and the Queen seems to care more about their reputation and legacy than her son. Can't wait for season 2 next year, even if it's only 6 episodes like this season.
“Now kiss each other in front of everyone”😭😭😭😂😂😂💀💀
Reminds me of mike Tyson’s “now kithe” where he holds the birds to each other💀
The way he saw at the end he looked like am gonna go burn this monarchy down and am gonna go back to u, that I love you in the end sounded more like a promise that he will come back to him as a stronger one
Perhaps
I actually loved the ending so much. I found it so intimate and heartwarming when they hugged infront of everybody
No I can’t lie I loved that part too
Just watch the first installment n 2 min later this drops😭😭😭
Perfect timing lol
You are thinking differently and that is cool. I have never heard someone before who:
-Saw at the memorial song that their relation was out of question
- empathized for August at the society thing
-told Sara has to run form library when August leached the video
-thought Sara tries to be Felice
-was realistic about what they couldn't expected from the statement
-differences statement for appearances, and their real relation
-suspect Felice still obsessing over Wilhem
-Saw the queen point about August
- realized the strength Simon to sing at church after the humiliation
Sara betrayed her brother too.
Wilhem and Simon were outed ok, but also they just have their private moment expose, and that one can hurt too.
ksjekdkd i love that ”pengar” (money) is said so many times that non native speakers start to pick up on it
Ah thank you! I was wondering what the spelling was... So pengar, it is! 😅👍
29:36 does it ever drive you crazy
30:09 just how fast the night changes
LITERALLY
WHY WAS AUGUST SO OBSESSED WITH THE VIDEO THO…. LIKE SIRRRR 🤨🤨⁉️⁉️
Probably because he didn't like Simon
Because he was shocked he didn't put it together sooner and is contemplating what to do with this information. He's going over it again and again in his head trying to piece it a together. He's also mad because Wilhelm is with someone of lower status, not being noble. He believes anyone not noble can't be trusted and that Wilhelm should only be hanging out with other "blue bloods". This was all confirmed by the head writer Lisa Ambjorn in one of her insta lives
@@aimeegrant2856 August was slow on the uptake. Anytime Wilhelm was motivated was because of Simon. Get up for work out☑️ get into rowing ☑️go to parents lunch ☑️put his foot down on trying to kick his boyfriend out of school ☑️
I actually LOVE the ending
When I tell you i SCREAMED when I got this notif omg
ugh can’t get over the field scene and the fact that most of it was improvised by edwin and omar 😩
It’s so fun when people get confused with Swedish culture and I love seeing it because idk what other people think is weird because I’m use to it you know!
9:18 „Bro he wore jeans to bed?“ 💀😭
Haha, yeah. Some of us are impressed that Simon managed to get him home from the football field and in bed at all. 😅
@@knaskamilla lmao right, getting someone who's hammered to bed can be hard enough when you're already in the house so i can imagine that, after biking from the football field and climbing back in through the window, simon was done enough with taking his bf's shoes and shirt off so he could put him in bed x)
@@iyawakarehen Yeah, and also...there must be some distance to the football field, since Wille took the bus there the first time...
@@knaskamilla exactly, and simon also biked from his house to pick up wilhelm and although i'd assume that first trip was not that long, the poor kid's must have been t i r e d by the time they got to hillerska so he's even more forgiven for letting wilhelm sleep in his jeans
Best reaction vid ever i swear. I literally just discovered your chanel LMAO and i already love your energy sm, instantly subscribed :) ALSO PLEASE PLEASE REACT TO SEASON 2 I BEG YOUU
i don't really like watching shows but THIS! oh my god it's 100% my favorite show i've watched. it's just so real and uh the story is amazing. also i was exited bc of the lgbtq representation in a swedish show! i'm soo hyped for season two i CAN'T wait! also i loved the reaction to this!!
You saw how quick the dad was to grab Simon, pin him tot he wall and almost beat him. Thats the hint, thats the taste of what he was like.
i love how between september and july (because we don’t say the A word 🙅♀️) says “wilhelm’s got everything” though wilhelm has lost the only two people he’s ever loved. 😖
I know I’m super late but, I loved when some people were calling August ‘April’ (cause he’s a fool)
@@RedBanana_ BAHAHHA
@@RedBanana_ I DIDNT EVEN KNOW THAT WAS A THING BUT THATS HILARIOUS
OMG YAY YOU DID THE OTHER PART CAN'T WAIT TO WATCH IT
YASSS I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE
LOVE THIS SO MUCH HAD SO MUCH FUN WATCHING WITH YOU
Did anyone else find the song choices weird in the scenes the choir sings? It takes a fool to remain sane was so random and then after Erik's death the lyrics go "so you say you want to be remembered baby" baby??????we're talking about the dead Prince here so why baby???
I haven't seen anyone talk about it yet and idk if I'm the only one that finds those 2 songs kind of hilarious because of how random they were lol
YES LMAO plus they sound too happy for the occasions
@@ghostgirl1940 yeah. I mean, they're nice songs but they could've tried harder to make sure they fit the vibe
Lmfaoo Yes they were so weird. Its kinda cheesy everytime that choir sings because of the songs
@Nicollette S yeah.. I think they improved in season 2 though so at least there's that. But in season 1 it was so weird
I love your energyyyy!!
i was waiting for this one
I was getting shocked, excited and worried along with you this time. I enjoyed this a lot
Yeheeyyyyy!!!!✨✨ I’m waiting for this and I’ve downloaded it so fast before they will turn off the internet.😍💜💙
your humorous reviews for s1 have made me even more excited for s2!! so thanku
Love your reactions and love you guys channel!
I LOVE your reaction, had so much fun rewatching the show with you, u cant even imagine
p.s: now i have to see if u have other reactions to shows i like on ur channel
ur style of editing and ur humour are so amazing girl !!
so glad another season is cominn out
Great review when I could hear you. I love your reaction to when Simon came outside from the dorm and ran into the Queen (the look on his face was priceless). Great job!
17:43 It is a religious tradition we have in Sweden called Lucia. Lucia was an italian girl i'm not really sure how the whole story goes but she removed her eyes before her death because she didn't wanted to lose her virginity or sum, put them on a plate and got a new pair by god and became a saint.
Now we celebrate her december 13th by doing "Luciatåg" Luciatrains where we go in trains/lines and sing songs. One girl gets to be Lucia at the front and center of the train/line and wear the same white dress as Willhelm is wearing but with a red ribbon around the waist and a candle crown to represent the light god gave Lucia.
After Lucia in line is "tärna" usually girls are "tärnor". They have the same white dress, silver glitter crown and around the wait and a candle in their hand. Next is the boys who usually are "sjärngosse", starboys, with a cone dected out with gold stars and a sick with a big star. This is what Simon an Willhelm were because they have the white dress. But boys can also be Santa Claus or his elves, and previously you could be a gingerbread man but some thinks that's racist becuase it's kinda like blackface/making the brown/black kid in class be gingerbreadman just becuase they're poc i'm not really sure it's kinda controversial.
Oh and usually one class does one Luciatrain for the school to watch and then we eat "lussekatter/lussebullar" and/or gingerbread, and washing it down with hot chocolate, milk or coffee.
Sorry this was long, but i kinda wanted to share our tradition:)
I'm not sure if you guys are doing some of these videos by yourselves, on purpose or not, but I kinda fwiiii!! because tese has the "never have i ever" series and now you have the "young royals" one. I'm not sure if it was intentional or not but i really like thissss! yall have videos together, which are freaking great, and now some videos alone. i love thissss.
I honestly like the ending, it's not a huge cliffhanger and the conflict got at least somewhat resolved but it also clearly leads into a second season. Because the whole story (like what would coming out publicly mean for Wilhelm, will there be consequences for August etc) is not resolved, I think it they had kissed, it wouldn't have fit really because it would have made it seem like it's over but it isn't if that makes sense?
ive been waiting for this video
I loved this!! you did so well with the commentary and I laughed out loud a lot of times.
Thank you for cheering up mine with this comment ! 🥺❤️
This show has so many layers and i love how every person has some reason to do what they do even if its still not okay but they have some drive to do it and is not just evil bc they have no heart for anything.its amazing how all the different ideas obstruct the view of the value of what they have done.this show is truly realistically reflecting their feeling and lives of these people even though this has never happened. The story is so deep and complicated that i have watched it several times to deeper understand it.
I personally dosagree that the ending is anticlamatic .i think it poses question of the season 2 and how their realtionship will evolve.its a rather melancolic meaning but i will argue that it has an amazing climax that would drove me to watch a 1000 more hours of it
Season 2 of Young Royals is confirmed!!
Girl, you’re not alone. From the minute I saw August, I also thought he was gonna kill someone!
ive been waiting for this one turn it uppp
Yes!! All these reviewers think the public has bionic ears and turn the mics down. At points it like just reading lips!
Omg you have to watch season two!!!! It came out on November 1st and I have already binged it lol. It is so good you have to watch it!
omg this was so fun I loved this vid
Get it Christina. Love your reviews girl
i loved your reactions so much omfg i giggled so much LOL are you ever planning on reacting to the second season?
Please do season 2, I love your commentary!!!❤

Thank you !! 🥺❤️
That last look he gave in the car seems like he is going to start a revolution in the name of love
Season 2 be coming out in November 2022.
You and your partner are two of the best reviewers and reaction video makers out there. Seriously.
PLEASE come back for season 2 !!
Will you do a reaction video for Season 2 of Young Royals? Your intuition was hilarious and wonderful to watch.
August didn't post it from his phone cuz he didn't want the video traced back to him
He failed 💀
girl you're so funny lol I actually agree with you, i mean i understand Simon but i think it was the right thing to deny it was Wilhelm in the video. Also i reallyyy want to see August getting some kind of punishment, that's not right
your commentary makes me cry laugh
i need season 2 right now!!!!! and i hope it's more than 6 episodes
I NEED TO SEE YOU DO S2
Just watched your review. Loved it! When are you doing season 2?? 👀
