Simon's Month Day 11: Revolution ( @youngroyals-events)

Okay, bear with me... Against all expectations a left-wing coalition sweeps to power, making Simon Eriksson Sweden's youngest ever Prime Minister.

Simon's anti-monarchy views are no secret. But it's not his party's official policy and he's got away with it on the campaign trail by acknowledging that no constitutional change would ever happen unless the people of Sweden wanted it, he knows they love and support their new King, and Simon looks forward to working constructively with King Wilhelm should his party win the election.

(And despite his disdain for the whole system of monarchy, maybe he's just a little intrigued by the young, attractive, surprisingly still single King Wilhelm, who's always looked kind of wistful and sad at the couple of events Simon's briefly met him at. It's not a crush, okay, he's a grown man - he's the Prime Minister ffs! - he's just...interested to get to know him properly, that's all. See if he's imagining those hidden depths or not.)

But at their first real one-to-one meeting, Simon's left a little disappointed if not a bit weirded out. It's stilted and awkward with lots of silences and for some reason the King keeps staring intensely at him. So he tries to lighten the atmosphere by joking that, "Whatever you've heard about me, Your Majesty, you don't need to worry. I'm not about to try and abolish the monarchy or anything, hahaha."

"Right. Of course not. Haha. But..." Wilhelm draws his chair closer to Simon's, still with that intense stare. "Like, hypothetically speaking. If you wanted to. How could we make that happen?"

“What tattoo were you thinking of anyway?”

“Okay, right, so…” Wilhelm straightens up, pulling himself back into the conversation. He squeezes his eyes shut for a moment as though trying to concentrate. “Right. So this was my first thought, in big letters all down this arm: ‘Fuck The Monarchy’.”

Simon bursts out laughing.
