The Prince photo shoot for F*cking Young shows a darker side to royalty.
Captured by photographer Rakeem Cunningham, the series follows model Sebastian as he stares intensely across grassy fields and dons a bejeweled crown as if it's the last thing he wants to do. Dressed in a multitude of florals throughout The Prince photo shoot, Sebastian's hard exterior is softened by his fresh spring-appropriate wardrobe of shorts and unbuttoned button-ups. Stylist Wilford Lenov compliments the shoot's floral-filled ensembles with a chest-covering blue necklace that looks fit for a king (or queen).
Although being a part of the royal family has its many perks, The Prince editorial shows everyone how aristocratic responsibilities can leave one feeling forlorn in a field of flowers.
