Netflix ‘Young Royals’ Season 3 Review - Love Shouldn’t Be This Hard

If one has to remember the Young Royals series, they’d probably summarize it as a cute romance shared by two innocent souls. What this season did is that it has weaven a lot of complexities leaving our two heartthrobs stuck in complex situations.

It wasn’t as if the second season ended on a good note but what we see at the beginning of this season is frustrating. How August turned the whole trial to his side by blackmailing Wilhem and Simon was infuriating. He not only managed to escape the trial but is now second to the throne line. His name is synonymous with ambition and there was a time when I believed that he too could be a good person.

From the show's beginning, it was very clear how dedicated August was to becoming a part of the Royal Court and achieving the same using his cheap tricks. You feel bad for Simon because he was the one who had suffered the most. The type of things people were saying about him like a royal whole makes your heart shatter.

The point where it is shown that he wrote and recorded his song, the audience will feel how he began to drift away. If the previous seasons were about love, this one is dedicated to hardships.

Certain beautiful scenes melt your heart like the one in which Wilhmen returns to school, and the first thing he does is publicly kiss Simon. Now that Wilhem accepted his love for Simon, there was no way of escaping this public display of affection.

Coming to other characters who suffered in their own way, Felice’s state wasn’t good at the beginning of the season. As they say that the loss of a friend is much greater than the loss of a partner, it was evident from her state how dearly she thought of Sara. Giving our readers a recap, Sara was the one who warned August about Simon going to the police. This betrayal was heavy for Simon and Felice.

Not attending school and shifting to her dad’s residence was how Sara coped with the situation. The season had a rough beginning and the penultimate episode is no different. Seeing how they’ve kept the date for the final episode a week apart from the rest of the five episodes, I wish that it comes with a big surprise for the audience (a good one).

The audience won’t like what they have shown in the fifth episode and how the events shifted with the passing of the episodes, it was bound to come. Nonetheless, this couple holds a special place in the hearts of all the viewers.

Erik’s presence was dearly missed and many things are revealed one after another. The Royal family did try to pretend their best to behave normally, but in the end, pent-up feelings have a nature to blow up.

Watch this season to witness the bittersweet moments shared by Wilhem and Simon and the internal battles everyone fights including August. The script doesn’t disappoint you as the boys too had to grow at a point and face the consequences of making their relationship public, and you do feel bad for them. All the actors like the previous two seasons have given up their best. When you don’t realize where one episode started and another one began, it is an indication that you’ve selected a good show, and this one’s one of them.

Final Score – [7/10]
