Young Royals: What do Edvin & Omar really think about their kissing scenes?

Prince Wilhelm adjusts to life at his prestigious new boarding school, Hillerska, but following his heart proves more challenging than anticipated.

'We haven't done anything wrong' - possibly the most important line in the whole series!

[snowyvesoul]

"The kissing scenes were insanely good" OMG ABSOLUTELY YES THE WHOLE WORLD AGREE

[shawnlaib]

Okay but let's talk about how their chemistry is literally what makes this show's intimate scenes shine above all others. The passion isn't over-sexualized, it's not graphic or even trying to scream at you "you're watching a gay couple!!" They're just two teenagers who have fallen completely in love and it's wonderful! This show has to get season 2 right now!

[virachhatwal]

the way they're listening to each other so carefully and actually having a conversation is so wholesome. also loved the way Edwin spoke about not having to label yourself :)

[younalbd]

the fact that the actors are not twenty eight years old playing teenagers makes this show waaay more relatable and lovable, I really appreciated that while watching it

[KlaraHenner]

Simon and Wilhelm are the best couple Netflix has ever created, and there are no arguments

[jeemhae]

Another thing that I like the most in this show is they didn’t even bother to cover the skin acne! I love how they show off their real skin. I love how the production shows that even if you have acne’s you will not be considered as less human. Acne’s are part of being a teenage! It really help me boost my self confidence. My acne’s would never stop me for being confident.

The respect and professionalism they show is amazing. They are good friends playing characters from such a beautiful story. These guys deserve all our respect and support.

I love how the entire show isnt based of a big coming out story or like homophobic people. This is a much more realistic representation of lgbtq+ in highschool

[joshuamateo]

WHO APPROVED ONLY 6 EPS FOR THE 1ST SEASON? I NEED 10 MORE 😭😭😭

[yugure]

I thought it's just wilhelm's character who like to staring so intense like that but it's edvin all along

[ishaanshsingh]

Also, the person handling Netflix Nordic social media NEEDS A DAMN RASIE

[ivanlopez]

the way omar was seeing edvin while he was talking about the kiss scenes omg I AM OBSESSED

[britta]

One of my favorite moments was how casually Simon reminded his dad he's gay. I would've killed for that type of confidence when I was a closeted teen!

[literalclxwn]

About the question, why Simon is so chill with his sexuality: I also think, that, different than Wilhelm, he doesn’t have the burden of anyone really caring about it. He‘s not a famous or 'important' person, who people will come at, cause they don’t give a shit about him anyways.

[minnhinstidans]

I liked what Edvin mentioned about not putting a label on Willes sexuality. I think this is one of the best ways to normalize falling in love with someone of the same gender. This is actually one of the few series portraying a teenagers life that I can relate to. Or at least I can feel an emotional connection with the characters. The actors and writers really did a great job!

[nitsatavadze]

it's amazing that they're so supportive of people who don't label their sexuality, it makes a lot of people so confident in themselves !! <3

[felopeeontube]

so glad to hear they used an intimacy coordinator. this show is progressive in so many ways. i really appreciated that simon never forced wilhelm to come out or villainize him because he wasn't ready to. he was completely understanding and told him to do it when he's ready, while also respecting himself and stepping away because that's not what he wanted. i love this so much, omg.

[everydaylis]

i just hope people don't make a freak shipp of omar and edvin. they have a great friendship and i'll hate to see this being destroyed by disgusting people. it's wilhelm and simon. omar and edvin's private lives are none of our business.

*Me:* doesn't speak swedish
*Also me:* randomly stops reading the subtitles as if I could understand what they're saying
