Sara finds redemption after reuniting for some days with her estranged father and coming to terms with her actions (and the past she shares with her dad); Felice finds some internal struggle first (when dealing with the way Hillerska\/its students have treated her and people in general), and then some peace (and a better way of living) after forgiving Sara and becoming friends with her again; and August finally gets what he wanted, but not what he needed.<\/p>\n
As said above, Hillerska receives some appreciated attention in the final episodes: as its institutional flaws are revealed to the world, some of its students (here represented mostly by minor characters such as Vincent, Nils, Fredrika, and Stella) start fighting for their school to remain open. The show uses this plot to highlight how oblivious, classist, and arrogant these people can be, because they are still rich and entitled heirs regardless of how much we\u2019ve come to like them or root for them. But the show doesn\u2019t want us to hate them or view them as villains; there\u2019s some room for complexity here.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Felice, for example, doesn\u2019t fight with her friends, she doesn\u2019t argue with them nor hate them by the end. But she comes to understand that she doesn\u2019t fit<\/i> in this entitled group as much as she initially thought. So when Felice chooses to get in Sara\u2019s car instead of going on some international trip with her friends, she gets a happy beginning. When Wilhelm chooses to run after this same car after making the biggest choice of his life, he gets a happy beginning. As for the others, they will likely remain the same \u2014 or worse, in August\u2019s case \u2014 as they couldn\u2019t overcome their initial states of mind and change for the better.<\/p>\n
Filled with great performances and huge moments \u2014 especially towards the finale \u2014 this season had great attention to detail, with many callbacks to earlier episodes. It also offered some special stuff to us people rooting for these characters since season one. The lake scene, Simon\u2019s song as a gift for Wilhelm, Sara, and Felice making amends at the party, Wilmon breaking up, the choir singing Simon\u2019s version for the anthem, Wilhelm standing against his mom, Wilmon reuniting, and Wilhelm looking into the camera, smiling at last \u2014 just to mention a few. The tenderness, the beauty, the loving simplicity, they remain present in every moment, big or small.<\/p>\n
Some years ago, right after the first season premiered, I wrote my first opinion piece for SpoilerTV with some things I expected from upcoming seasons (if they were to exist.) Looking back at what I wanted then and thinking about what we got in the end, it\u2019s easy to say that this upside-down Cinderella tale had more to show and tell than I could dream of. Also: it gave me so much to continue dreaming (when it comes to romantic love and friendship and queer stories, but mostly as a storyteller.) Young Royals, in the end, proved to be a powerful story told by vivid songs, stunning images, and rich writing \u2014 hats off to the cast and crew as a whole (especially to showrunners Lisa Ambj\u00f6rn, Lars Beckung, and Camilla Holter.)<\/p>\n
Now let me know your thoughts on everything. Have you watched the Young Royals finale already? If so, what do you think about it? Feel free to leave a comment with your favorite moments, and thanks for reading!<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
