Horatio is a fellow student of Hamlet's who clearly loves him. Laertes is a Dane of about Hamlet's age, although of less exalted birth. Hamlet respects him and calls him "a most noble youth", while Laertes says of Hamlet's apology to him, "I am satisfied in nature" although it is difficult to believe anything he says at this stage. Fortinbras is probably as close to a peer as Hamlet has in the play, and he says "he was likely, had he been put on, to have proved most royal". While we do not know what Fortinbras's basis was for such a statement it surely confirms that Fortinbras respected Hamlet.
