Prince Wilhelm

Wilhelm is a Swedish prince shipped off to the elite boarding school Hillerska after a family scandal, trailing paparazzi and low expectations. He wants to be left alone, not to be what everyone assumes a prince should be. Sullen, guarded, and used to hiding what he actually feels, he watches more than he speaks.

Edvin Ryding plays privilege as a kind of loneliness rather than swagger, letting Wilhelm's boredom and irritability crack open into something much more vulnerable once he's away from cameras. The show is careful to make his rebellion feel like self-preservation, not petulance, and Ryding's stillness makes every small thaw in him register as real news.
