Young Royals stars Omar Rudberg and Edvin Ryding have reunited almost one year on from the end of the cult queer Netflix series.

During the London stop of Omar Rudberg’s current Every Night Fantasy Tour last night (5 February), fans were treated to arguably the most special guest possible, and during the most pertinent moment of the gig.

As Omar began performing “Simon’s Song”, taken from episode three of season two of Young Royals, his former co-star walked onto the stage from behind him, and took him in for an embrace. Edvin wrapped his arms around Omar’s waist as he attempted to continue singing, but the crowd’s rapturous reaction ended up leaving them both laughing. After collecting themselves, the pair finished the song together, before Edvin ran off stage.
