Meet the characters from Young Royals

Wilhelm

Okay, so Wilhelm is like the quintessential royal teen but with a twist! He’s this mix of privilege and pressure, you know? He’s torn between duty and his true self, and oh man, that struggle is just so relatable! Plus, his soft spots for Simon just make your heart melt — it’s like he wants to be a good guy, but society keeps pulling him back! And, that moment when he finally stands up for himself? Epic!

Simon

Ah, Simon! He’s got that whole artistic, sensitive soul vibe going on, right? I mean, seriously, he’s the heart of the show! Super relatable with his anxiety and the whole coming-out journey — like, you just want to give him a hug! But then he’s also fiercely protective of his friends, which is so awesome. And can we talk about how he’s like a total nerd for music? I love that about him! It’s just so real!

Sara

OMG, Sara is the best friend we all wish we had! Fierce, loyal, and always ready to throw shade when needed, she’s a total queen! She’s got this great sense of humor that just cracks me up, but she’s also serious when it counts — like, she really looks out for Simon and isn’t afraid to call Wilhelm out when he needs it! And the way she handles her own stuff, like juggling school and friendships? Total inspiration! Also, she’s got this wild side, like when she just goes for it — love it!

Felicity

Oh man, Felicity is such a complicated character! At first, you think she’s just the classic mean girl, right? But then you realize there’s so much more underneath! She’s got this fierce ambition and isn’t afraid to play the game to get what she wants, which is kind of mad respect, honestly. But then, you see her vulnerability peek through sometimes, and you’re like, whoa, did I just feel for her? She’s got this love-hate thing going on, and it just makes her even more fascinating!

August

August, the ultimate bad boy with a heart, right? He’s got this whole rebellious aura that makes him super intriguing! Like, he’s got the charm, but he’s also hiding a bunch of stuff, and that makes you want to know more about him! The way he butts heads with Wilhelm is just so intense, but you can’t help but feel there’s a softer side hiding in there somewhere! And can we appreciate his loyalty to his friends, even when he’s being a bit of a jerk? It’s like he’s a walking contradiction, and that just keeps us on our toes!
