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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.
Tumblr media
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.

one of the saddest things in young royals is that wille will never get to come out to erik and never get to tell him that his “crush” was simon and never have simon meet his brother, to me its heartbreaking. i really need a fanfic thats just moments like wille getting to come out to erik and telling erik he likes simon and introducing simon to erik to heal the pain that this has caused me

"Why is it called Young Royals? There's only one royal"
Well there were two, but then someone had to go and die on us, so now there's only one. smh 🙄😒 This is a shame post. I'm shaming you, Crown Prince Erik of Sweden. Can't believe you had the audacity to fucking die.

Possibly blasphemous opinion (but something that made me laugh as I envisioned it.) Something I find interesting about Erik is that I don’t think he would have predicted Wilhelm *or* August falling so hard and so epically and commitedly for an Eriksson sibling. He talks to both of them like he expects them to be having casual flings and not taking things too seriously. Kind of makes me wonder if his ghost is wandering Hillerska and shaking his head at his real little brother and his boarding school little brother like “you two are both under 20. no need to put a ring on it yet, okay? Calm down.”

The love Wille's parents gave him was always conditional
Today I decided to make myself sad by overanalyzing the series so let's talk about the differential treatment that Wille and Erik's parents always had with their children
Tumblr media
For me since s1 it was always quite obvious that Erik was the favorite child and Wille was treated as "the problem child."
The love that his parents gave him WAS ALWAYS CONDITIONAL, they only gave him love when he did what they asked of him and they treated him horribly when he did something that they (especially the queen) did not agree with. Erik was probably the one who always did what they asked of him and since he was the one who best fit the role of prince, it is most likely that he was the one who received the most affection and attention from his parents while with Wille it was the opposite.
Wille has always behaved like the typical boy whose parents only pay attention to him either when he does what they ask or when he does something "bad", otherwise they ignored him and that is why I think he clung so much to Erik.
Tumblr media
Erik probably wasn't the perfect older brother that Wille said he was (we know he wasn't a good person either) but he was probably the only person in that whole family who gave Wille that minimum of affection that Wille needed and that's why he developed such a strong attachment towards him and that is why he idealized him so much.

I need an Erik Lives AU where Wille still learns about what Erik did during the initiations. Whether it was peer pressure or not, whether he confronts him or not, whether he learns it from August or even Erik himself, whether Erik knows Wille is with Simon or not, the angst could be phenomenal.

Frog Prince thoughts
In season 2 we talked a lot about the glass of the snowglobe breaking was symbolic of Wille being freed in some sense, but what we saw in season 3 was that wasn't actually enough. For Wille to truly be happy the whole thing had to go (as it finally does in the last episode).
Erik gave that snowglobe to Wille just as he passed down the crown prince title. Wille, in turn, did not pass it down to anybody, but rather tossed it altogether, and it's Kristina and Ludvig who give a NEW frog prince to August.
Metaphors that become increasingly clear as they reach their end Mine Beloved
