The Autumn Ballad (2022)

[uh-velkommen]

Doing a Royalteen live blog/thoughts post so y'all don't have to stress about it "copying Young Royals"

"Prince Fuckboy" lmao

Okay first of all no one is even relatively making as big of a deal about the prince being there than in YR and they look like they're in a normal public school which is a weird choice (He has a vocal female body guard if that's of any relevance)

Lol his name is Karl Johan like the street

Bonding over a song

I ship it immediately yes

Also the perspective is entirely from Lena, not the Prince

Okay we got some discussion about whether we actually need a monarchy

Is this PTSD or just story progression

Shirtless prince omg

The baby is just staring the camera man down

Oh we building tension

He took a selfie with Lena and now everyone's all up on her so got a social media aspect

Oh he has a twin sister I thought she was just a mean groupie

He looks like a blonde August like something about his demeanor

THEYRE ON MOPEDS

Side character got history with the sister/princess... Gay?

Oh God they almost said it^^

The princess just gave the "Be careful who you keep company with" speech

Okay there's definitely a "using social media for evil" plot happening here

Okay I've met Norwegians and these people are too quick to be all over each other

I don't know how to explain the difference but Kalle is in no way like Wilhelm as a Prince

The Prince gave her weed and her dad was just cool with it? Pretty sure drugs are super not okay in Norway...

(Royalty abusing drugs mentioned)

So we don't care about Slow Burns here huh

He sometimes calls his parents The King and Queen

I just don't trust the Prince. Because Lena isn't always taking pics of them hanging out he likes her?

Kalle gave a whole speech about social media being used against him oh it must be so hard being royalty /s

Uh excuse me that is NOT the royal palace of Norway

She's having dinner with the royal family and I'm just imaging Simon in this position 😫

His sister is a big ol butthole but I'd get it if they pulled a "People hold the Princess to a high standard bc she's a girl" card

Oh God I hope that wasn't a Covid joke

Oooo they said the word Anxiety

SEX TAPE LEAKED

"Can you delete that picture of me"

Apologizing for the sex tape never heard of it

Wilhelm and Simon would never have the "I'm afraid of getting you pregnant" talk

They mentioned TikTok it's dated

At least this Prince has good friends

I was just thinking that this scene was reminiscent of Skam and then he said "Can't we just lie here" euegeheueh

Okay Prince has feelings

August would totally be as annoying as this dude if he knew about Simon and Wilhelm

Interesting how they handle the "apologizing for leaking the tape" story

Ayy I've been there

I really just read that paragraph in Norwegian with no problem 😏

Not her talking to the PRINCESS like that

PLOT FUCKING TWIST

Oh come on she barely went through any self realization before wrapping up that plot line

Shawty is wearing a pantsuit, just tell me if she's gay I need to know

Lmao there was a guy shredding it on the guitar in the background but there was no guitar happening in the song that was playing

Cute callback to when they first met

WHAT THE FUCK CLIFF HANGER

If they were gonna end it like that they should've just made it a series

Final thoughts: Not at all like Young Royals. Some themes overlap but what can you do when you're talking about celebrities in the social media era. I suggest giving it a watch. It's well made, fast paced, and all around an easy watch. All the conflicts in the end are just kind of forgotten and resolved but there's nothing else to get too analytical about, it's not exactly a realistic slice of life like Skam or YR.
