Young Royals
15
1Young Royals is a Swedish teen drama about love, identity, friendship, and the pressure of living under a spotlight. ๐๐
The story follows Prince Wilhelm, a young royal who is sent to the prestigious boarding school Hillerska after a scandal. There, he meets Simon Eriksson, a scholarship student who is confident, kind, and very different from the world Wilhelm comes from.
As Wilhelm and Simon grow closer, they have to navigate:
๐ their feelings for each other
๐ the expectations of royalty
๐ญ secrets and public pressure
๐ซ friendships, family, and figuring out who they really are
Main characters:
Wilhelm ๐: The second-in-line prince who struggles between duty and wanting a normal life.
Simon ๐ค: A talented, outspoken student who refuses to hide who he is.
August ๐ฐ: A wealthy student connected to the royal family, with a complicated role in the story.
Sara ๐: Simonโs sister, who tries to find her place at Hillerska.
Felice ๐ด: A kind, loyal friend who deals with her own expectations and insecurities.
Erik ๐: Wilhelmโs older brother and the perfect โfuture kingโ figure.
The show is mostly in Swedish ๐ธ๐ช (with subtitles or dubbing options), which is why the names and dialogue might feel a little unfamiliar at first. The royal setting gives it a fancy castle-and-crowns vibe, but the heart of the story is very much about two teenagers trying to understand themselves.
