Oh! Another thing I've been meaning to ask about: "er". Is that how a 16-yo crown prince would address his boyfriend in an intimate letter? A 40-yo monarch addressing his ex with whom he seems to be getting friendly again, yes, absolutely, but a teenage boy? You guys tell me.
Crown Prince Fritz "du"s Gröben in the intimate letters, and then switches to "Er" for the later letters where he's annoyed and a lot more formal. But he's 1) an adult, 2) annoyed. Affectionate and lonely teenage Fritz "er"ing Peter when asking for comfort?
