Edvin Ryding returns as Prince Wilhelm in Young Royals Season 3. 

Wilhelm is the Crown Prince of Sweden. He is in a romantic relationship with Simon Eriksson, and the character's royal status means that he must maintain a good public image. His involvement in a same-sex relationship though has caused some controversy as not everyone approves of it. 

At the end of Season 2, Wilhelm's confession about the sex tape and ultimately his relationship with Simon to the whole world affected his family and friends. 

In the latest season, Wilhelm is choosing Simon over his privileged life and his goal is to have a normal life free of huge responsibilities. 

Ryding is best known for his roles in The Abyss, Love Me, and Maria Wern

Omar Rudberg brings Simon Eriksson to life in Season 3. 

Attending Hillerska Boarding School, Simon is a model student who keeps his family's issues to himself. Upon meeting Prince Wilhelm, the pair's chemistry is apparent. 

After Wilhelm decides to announce their relationship to the public, Simon is at a crossroads due to dealing with others' opinions while also trying to be happy with what his boyfriend did. 

Speaking with Gay Times, Rudberg teased what lies ahead for Simon in Season 3, noting that there's a certain dilemma that the couple needs to face: 

“'We’ve chosen each other, let’s go!’ and then they face all of these issues and have to deal with them. That’s the substance of the story this season, I think. That’s the dilemma: is their choice and love sufficient for them to go on? Or will they not?”

Rudberg's other notable acting credit is playing Dante in Carousel.
