I think the "boy king" is actually Wrathion. Anduin is actually a young man, not a boy, while Wrathion is still a boy in dragon years and is the king of the black dragons. Plus we already know he has troubles with the void and the old gods.
Anemo: traveler, Sucrose
Pyro: Yanfei, Amber, diluc, xiangling, thoma, Xinyan, Bennett
Geo: Noelle, Ningguang, Yun Jin, Gorou
Hydro: Barbara, Zingqiu, Ayato
Cyro: Shenhe, Kaeya, Chongyun, Diona, Ayaka, Rosaria
Electro: Fischl, Lisa, Miko, Kujou, Raiden, Razor
We already have Gul'dan addressing Anduin as boy-king:
Have you forgotten your humiliation on the Broken Shore? How your precious High King was bent and broken before me? Will you beg for your lives as he did, whimpering like some worthless dog?
Your pathetic Alliance will fall to dust. Your new boy King will bow down and serve me, as will all of you!
He said it during Mists of Pandaria. The first lie must have been told in-between patches 7.0.3 - 7.3.5 according to Il'gynoth future tense (will) and Ogmot's past tense (been).

Anduin is the weakest character in this game, everyone likes to humiliate him, that's the answer.
i don't remember anymore, but we discussed here about it, its more likely to be 2 different persons.
plus, if Taelia was Calia child, they would have talk about it already with Calia showing up, with bolvar showing, and they being able to talk. sure it could be because ~~blizzard~~ and they just are bad, but i think its a waste
Did anyone notice the similarities between the Chains of Domination trailer animations, where Anduin leaps and stabs the Archon, and the Ny'alotha: Wrathion Scene trailer, where Wrathion stabs N'zoth?
Is this, simply, a case of laziness by Blizzard, like we thought with the Afterlives: Maldraxxus animation short, where they re-used a shot from Harbingers: Illidan, or is it intentional?
If it's, indeed, intentional, what could it, possibly, point to?
The only thing i can speculate about the similarities between Anduin and Wrathion is the phrase: "Like Father Like Son".
If Wrathion, who tried his best to avoid the fate of his father but, eventually, fell to corruption in patch 8.3, in the Ny'alotha raid then, i can only guess that Anduin is going through that same thing but, with a different father.
I've speculated, in my opening post, that Anduin is the son of Arthas, rather than Varian's.
If that is, indeed, the case then, he has been trying to avoid that fate, as well, after being compared to Arthas, by Garrosh, and being told that he, also, was a blonde haired light-wielder (Paladin).
In the Chains of Domination trailer he, indeed, turns into a Death Knight:
At first, i thought it was Arthas, as he, strikingly, resembles the prince in that artwork.
So, if that is the case then, maybe, the "prophecies" of the Scarlet Crusade aren't so far-fetched as we, previously, thought:
"The boy-king CONSPIRED with the Banshee herself to arrange a meeting between the living and the dead under a FALSE flag of truce. Traitor Wrynn seduced the Banshee into staging a FAKE massacre to lure out the good-hearted Princess Calia.
Then the traitor king had our princess MURDERED.
But that was not the end of Anduin's foul scheme. No, he had his Banshee lover raise Calia as a lich... practically SPITTING on the grave of good King Terenas!
Why?
Because the traitor king is OBSESSED with the dead! He plans to MARRY Calia and secure his right to the throne of Lordaeron."
Well, now that he is sort of Undead, he can, basically, do that. Like that Tim Burton movie, Corpse Bride.
It fits with the Il'gynoth prophecy about the boy-king lies. The first one is, supposedly, told in his speech, in the Legion Epilogue cinematic. And the second could be about what transpired in the Arathi meeting.
Anduin is goin to be King of Lordaeron. New Undercity will go up. Anduin will became lightforged undead (ud paladin).
