to know that s1 wille was so giddy and excited to tell erik about his new crush only to find out that he probably wouldn’t have accepted him is actually so heartbreaking

It's not Simon or the monarchy, its simon or his family
I feel like people don't really understand, including Simon (no hate to you babygirl), but the Monarchy is Willie's family. Yes they may not be good but they are his family.
It isn't a choice between Simon and the Crown, but between Simon and his family, their legacy, his brother.
I think when Simon thinks and talks about the Monarchy, he see the oppression, the system, the class divide, not having the choice to vote in that elected leader etc.
Wilhelm sees his family. He cannot separate the monarchy from his family, because his own mother can't. He doesn't really see Simon attacking a horrible outdated system, but his mother, his brother and himself.
Wilhelm is faced with so much burden, being judged from those who don't know him and facing criticism no matter what he does.
What Simon experiences this season, being micromanaged and having those who don't know him judge him, is exactly what Wilhelm has experienced everyday of his life. However Simon also does not have the protection Wilhelm has, leading to having bricks thrown into his window, and making him an easier target. He is even more of a target due to his social status, race, class etc. Simon however also has more of a support system. Friends and family he can turn to in this situation. (Both characters are valid for what they have experienced and I am in no way trying to dismiss Simons pain)
I just don't like when people hate on by boy Wilhelm, like he isn't perfect but also a product of how he was raised. He is a 16 (now 17) boy who has been placed with a burden of legacy on his shoulders, while also battling anxiety, depression, greif. He is still figuring out who he is.

If there is a third season of Young Royals, I really want to see Wilhelm and Simon happy for once. Of course there will be problems and there will be drama but I want them to solve those together, as a couple.
I want to see them at school together, what they do during holidays, Wilhelm hanging out with Simon‘s friends and him showing Simon all his secret places in the castle.
I don‘t want them to break up again but to fight together and always have each other’s back.
