Meet the cast of Young Royals on Netflix
The Swedish teen drama is back for a second season on Netflix.
Young Royals fans are bracing themselves for an emotional goodbye to the students of Hillerska boarding school, where an unlikely love story has bloomed between Prince Wilhelm of Sweden (Edvin Ryding) and Simon Eriksson (Omar Rudberg).
Back when the show was renewed for a third season, co-creator Lisa Ambjörn confirmed that it would be the final chapter of a story that has been living in her head for years.
The first five episodes of season 3 are available to stream right now on Netflix, but fans will have to wait another week before they can feast their eyes on the grand finale.
In the meantime, here's an overview of the key characters in Young Royals and where you might have seen some of the stars before.
