TV shows Quotes

Queen Kristina: I understand that the thing with Simon has been life-changing for you…

Wille: It’s not about him. It’s not about Simon, Mom. It’s… It’s this role. It’s always been this role that’s been the problem. To me. I know you think I’m gonna change my mind, but I won’t. I don’t want this. If you believe in monarchy, if you think that it’s important that you’re born into the right family, that this is right… then that is the heir for you (looks at August outside). And I understand that you’re disappointed, but it’s the truth. (to the bodyguards): Could you open the door? (the door opens, he turns to his parents): I love you both. (Wille leaves the car)

Queen Kristina (to the bodyguards): Let him go.

Queen Kristina: I mean, I understand that you might have doubts and mixed feelings. God knows it was the same for me. But, I mean… There must be a worse fate to be assigned than this one.

Wille: Yes, but that’s the problem. We have been assigned this, we haven’t chosen it. Nobody’s chosen. The people haven’t chosen. And I see how it makes you feel. (looks at his father) And how it makes you feel. I used to think that at least Erik was happy, but I don’t think he was.

Queen Kristina: Wilhelm, one day, you will be an amazing king. I know that.

Wille: What happens if I don’t want that?

Queen Kristina: But, please… Please, not today. We’ve talked about this…

Wille: No, I don’t wanna upset you, Mom. I… That’s the last thing I want. And I understand you have a hard time taking me seriously, ’cause I’ve said it before in frustration, and I’ve been impulsive. But you also haven’t let me have an honest conversation about this.
