Young Royals actor Edvin Ryding posted a series of photos to his Instagram grid, a handful of which featured him sporting some face fur for the first time.
It’s a proper mustache reveal!A post shared by Edvin Ryding (@edvinrydings)Best known for playing teenaged heir to the Swedish throne Prince Wilhelm on the hit LGBTQ+ romance, it’s definitely a more grown-up look for the Young Royals star (the actor will turn 21 this coming February).We fully support this new style for Ryding, one that says loudly and proudly, “I’m an adult now, okay?”, but also, “We’re done filming the television show that’s been my whole life these past three years, so now I can finally look however I want.”Ryding’s follower count has ballooned to 2.4 million since the premiere of Young Royals on Netflix in 2021, and quite a few of his fans took to the comments to agree that the ‘stache can stay.
It’s a hit!The third season of the hit Swedish romance is on its way. But, what a minute—isn’t something missing?However, a shocking number of people also chose to log on and be rude, telling the star they’re “disappointed” in his new look, that he should “lose the mustache,” and that he’s only changing his appearance for a relationship.(Some followers seem to think he’s dating his Young Royals co-star Felicia Maxime—the pair also appear together in Swedish thriller The Abyss and the upcoming Netflix movie A Piece Of You with pop star Zara Larsson.)Seemingly in response to the negativity, Ryding took to Twitter X to post the following message to the public:Hello, i’d like to kindly ask you to stop making comments on my physical appearance.
It’s making me uncomfortable. Thank you.Immediately, fans came to his defense, calling out all the haters in his Instagram comments and replying to the tweet with messages of encouragement:“I hate that you even have to tweet that out,” one user writes. “People are so annoying & disrespectful.
