An analysis of Wille arriving at Hillerska with Erik‘s car vs. leaving in Sara‘s car

Lisa Ambjörn herself asked for this, and she shall receive.

The first time we see Wilhelm arrive at Hillerska it is with Erik. They arrive in an expensive sports car. Wille doesn‘t know what the future has to offer for him, but he knows he doesn‘t want to be at the school. The last time we see Wilhelm in a car, he is leaving Hillerska behind. He has just renounced the throne. He sits in an old Volvo with his chosen family. He has finally grown up.

Wilhelm started a revolution at Hillerska which led to the school shutting down. Erik‘s car is a symbol for the old system and they‘re leaving everything behind in Sara’s car. It‘s a fresh start.

The sports car represents not only Erik, but Wilhelm‘s position as a prince. It symbolises his privileges, his position in the upper class. His family has money and he benefits from it. And yet, while Erik seems to be enjoying himself in the wind, he isn‘t happy. This is one of our first glimpses at the fact that Wille feels trapped in the postion he is in.

The old Volvo can also be seen as a representation of Wilhelm‘s feelings. It being an old and not super expensive car is obviously a literal cosquence of it coming from Micke. But it can also mean more: Wilhelm has decided to leave the title of Crown Prince behind. It’s a common car - all Wille wants is to live a normal and common life. He has also decided to bridge over the class differences between Simon and himself. Wilhelm is now in a place where he‘s willing to unlearn his own classist views and privileges. They‘re willing to compromise, they‘ll make it work.

Apart from the cars‘ price classes it‘s also important to mention the type of car they‘re driving. Erik drives an open-roof Cabrio while Sara drives a car with a closed roof. The roof represents the public eye. Wille was uncomfortable at the beginning. He didn‘t want to be perceived by the public, but he had no choice and nowhere to hide or escape to.

Now, in the end, he has renounced his title and he chooses not to be in the public eye any longer. The car roof is closed, and he finally has a way to hide. But Wilhelm chooses to do the opposite. He leans out the window. He is ready to face the world and to finally be his true self. And he has not only Simon in his arms to help him, but Felice and Sara are with him as well. They have become family. Wille is finally free.

the realization hurts. you're everything you never wanted to be. her opinions echo in your words to him. she has left her fingerprints on everything you say.

the realization hurts. you truly are just like your mother.

ok, so for some reason the german trailer for young royals 3 says that wilhelm has to be able to take over the throne in one year?? oh my god i am WORRIED?? i'm not sure whether it's just a mistranslation to better match the lip movements, but it could also actually occur in the rest of this scene on the show in swedish. that would mean we just haven't seen that part of the scene yet.

nevertheless, if it's NOT just an intentional mistranslation to match the lip movements, that would mean SO MUCH for wille (and simon)??

i believe that scene is a one-on-one conversation between kristina and wilhelm, where we already know they talk about avoiding any more scandals and his future role as the king. i also believe this is the scene where wille tells her "what if i don't want to?" - mentioning his thoughts about abdicating for the first time. now, if this is not a mistranslation, that would mean some sort of 1-year-ultimatum for wille. that would put A LOT of added pressure on him and influence his decision whether to abdicate or not.

the question is then, why would they give him that ultimatum? why does he have to be able to take over the throne in one year? how would wille handle that?? does something happen to kristina or to wilhelm?? what would that mean for wille and simon?? SO MANY QUESTIONS.

note:

the subtitles in the screenshots don't actually exactly match what kristina says here. she says: "Du musst in einem Jahr in der Lage sein, den Thron zu übernehmen."

the correct direct translation into english for that would be: "you have to be able to take over the throne in one year."

(just wanted to point out the difference to avoid confusion)

Nobody else could‘ve done it.

i don't know who needs to hear this, but you're never too young or too old to be queer. i've known that i'm a lesbian since the age of 15. some will go through the same throughts and crises i went through at that age only years later. some so much earlier. go have your first girlfriend when you're 32. feel at home for the first time in your life at 44 . look at a boy for the first time when you're 9. be the trans elder in your local community at 74. figure out you don't want to get intimate with anyone at 13. run away from your toxic home with your first girlfriend. you don't have to find a word for yourself. do you really like men or is it just comphet? you're 19, let time tell. it doesn't have to be perfect, it just has to work for you. some things within you will change, some will forever stay the same. there is comfort in time and you have so much of it.

we never conformed to straight peoples' way of living, so why should we start doing it now?

haha do you guys ever think about the fact that crowley has now lost not only his first love, but his best and ONLY friend? aziraphale is the only one he's ever truly liked, cared about and the only one he has talked to since his fall from heaven. aziraphale is his one and only. and now he's alone, miserable and has noone to bring him joy anymore haha. do you think he grabs the phone to call aziraphale and then realizes he has noone to talk to? that he's now completely and utterly alone? do you think he blames himself? haha what a silly thought!
