5 Predictions for Young Royals Season 3 Grim Enough to Send Fandom to Therapy
The upcoming season promises an abundance of drama.
Although Netflix's Young Royals is widely regarded as one of the finest LGBTQ+ romances currently on the air, it hasn't yet broken into the mainstream. The fact that the show is filmed entirely in Sweden potentially alienates a significant portion of the prospective target audience. Nevertheless, it appears that the upcoming third season may finally get some global recognition despite it potentially being significantly more somber than the previous two installments.
Here are five bleak predictions for Young Royals Season 3:
Court's Reaction to Willie Coming Out
Since the Royal Prince of Sweden revealed his homosexuality last season, it's expected that the court will not take this news lightly and might even attempt to pressure Willie into renouncing his position as heir apparent. Additionally, it seems that even Willie's mother, Queen Kristina, might not be on her son's side in this matter.
Simon's Drug Problems
Simon's battles with substance abuse have been underscored in the past two seasons. However, fans are convinced that his problems will be at the forefront in the upcoming season, potentially even jeopardizing his relationship with Willie.
August’s Potential Suicide
While this theory is certainly highly speculative, August's battle with depression and the fact that his father committed suicide have fans concerned that this beloved character may attempt to take his own life in Season 3.
Willie and Simon’s Struggle as a Couple
As the upcoming season starts with the two boys in a romantic relationship, fans can expect them to face numerous obstacles on their path to acceptance, encountering backlash from the public and their own families.
Willie and Simon Not Being the Endgame
Despite Willie and Simon being the central couple of Young Royals, fans remain anxious that their relationship might not survive, especially given the show's realistic and often gloomy narrative. Perhaps the writers will separate Willie and Simon in the Season 3 finale in a bid to make the show feel even more realistic.
