Young Royals

A NETFLIX ORIGINAL SERIES

- - Prince Wilhelm?

The car is here. We need to leave as soon as possible.

Can I please take a picture?

BABY PRINCE DON'T TAKE NO SHIT!

Back up!

CHECK THE VIDEO! LOL!

Hello?

Hello?

-What? -Here.

What the hell's this?

Your speech where you ask for forgiveness.

- Seriously? -Yes, seriously.

No way.

The Queen says she wants you to address it personally.

"For that reason, my parents and I have decided

that I will enroll at Hillerska Boarding School immediately."

Yes.

That's not true. I haven't spoken to my parents.

I know. I'm sorry, it's all been decided.

Seriously? When was it decided? I have all my friends here!

Doesn't anyone care what I want?

I don't want to go to some fucking boarding school!

-We need to go through this. -Did you go through the speech?

Yeah. But it will be obvious I don't mean what I say, Dad.

Well, you have to demonstrate some kind of understanding.

What kind of understanding?

Yes. But we can't have any more journalists.

Let me see.

Mom, I'm not going to a boarding school.

- It's been decided. -You never asked me!

Now, just be quiet.

Why can't I decide how the hell I want to live?

I want to live a normal life.

If we can't protect you from situations like this,

we'll have to make sure they don't arise.

Hillerska will help you adopt the right routines

and keep the right company.

Stop that!

We have attended this school for generations.

And it was wrong of us to let you attend a regular high school.

Even though Erik is the crown prince, you still have responsibilities.

And remember, being a prince is not a punishment, but a privilege.

Could both of you switch places, please?

Thanks.

You can put the mic on now.

Please begin whenever you're ready.

Yes. Well, uh…

I…

I would…

I would like to start by saying

that nobody is more disappointed in me than my family…

and especially myself.

This past year has been difficult for me.

Since I…

Since my confirmation…

last summer,

I've been given a more official role as prince.

This has come with added pressure…

which has resulted in me acting irresponsibly.

And I apologize for this…

and assure you that it will not happen again.

I would also like to inform you that my parents and I have decided

that I will enroll at Hillerska Boarding School…

to continue my education there.

- -

Ah. It's a pleasure to see the Crown Prince again.

-Great to see you too, Anette. -Definitely.

-Welcome to Hillerska. -Thank you.

All good? Yeah?

Wilhelm, long time no see.

Let me have a look. You can hardly see it.

Alexander.

Alexander Bragé, son of Ulf Bragé, owner of Bragé Investments.

-Manners, Alex. -Uh, hi.

-Hi. Erik. It's a pleasure. -

-Hi. Wilhelm. -Alexander.

-Posture. -A pleasure.

-You have bags? - Mm.

Yes, take care of them, Alexander.

- Shall we head inside then? - Absolutely.

-So excited to be back! -It's awesome seeing you!

- I've missed this place so much. - Of course. Yeah.

- I can carry that. -It's okay, I've got it.

-It's really no-- - Wait a moment!

Can we get a shot of the princes carrying their bags in with their second cousin?

Wonderful.

-Ooh. -Ah, come on.

I can take it, it's okay.

-No, it's no problem. -Just let him take it.

I'll take it.

-It's no problem. Honest. -Wilhelm…

Can try to get that one up there in the picture?

Wilhelm!

-We're done! - Thank you.

-Mr. Englund. -Hi.

Headmaster Englund.

Anna, housemistress.

Göran, housemaster.

Could we get another shot of the prince shaking the headmistress's hand?

This way.

-Thank you. -

-Could you two switch places? -Okay. Fine.

- - Like this?

One more, then off to the church.

The school choir has prepared a welcoming song.

Hi there.

Good to see you.

You know her?

Well, we… we went to the same preschool.

That's Poppe Ehrencrona's daughter, isn't it?

That's right. Felice Ehrencrona.

I'm going to marry her.

Well, you'll have to stop sleeping around then.

One must lay the foundation while they're still too insecure to object.

Felice is modern nobility.

Excuse me, would you mind singing a bit louder?

- -Shh!

-We run away on three. -What?

One, two, three!

No. What…

I'll meet you by the car! Oh!

It didn't occur to you they might search the place before the prince arrived?

It's impossible to get anything in.

The secret police have the staff terrified.

I had to have a bloody medical certificate to bring my medication.

Fucking unbelievable. I promised Erik I'd take care of Wille.

And I want to give him the wildest initiation ever.

Do we want the future king to remember us as the legends of the decade,

or as losers who couldn't even make sure the prince got a fucking toast?

-Huh? -

What about him, the non-boarder?

Good voice, man.

He's bound to know someone who makes moonshine.

Remember when he came up to us the first week…

-Stop it. -…and was like, "What's up?"

Makes me puke.

-As if we have anything in common. -

Yuck.

Wow, I'm so jealous.

I had to share a room until the third year.

I can't take three years here, Erik.

Do what the first years do and what the third-years tell you.

You mean do what August tells me?

He's so annoying.

August is family. You can trust August, he's like a brother.

Who the hell can live like this for three fucking years?

It's not about you.

Everything you do reflects back on our family.

It's time to stop being so selfish.

It's not that hard. You have to be able to keep up appearances.

We'll be seeing each other soon.

-Wait. Do you really have to go now? -Yes, I have to go now.

-Why? No, don't leave me. - Come on…

-Do you really? -I have to go. No. I really…

- Wait. Erik. - No, no, no. That's enough. Stop.

Okay, Wilhelm. That's enough. I gotta go.

The faster you adapt, the easier your life will be.

Mmm.
