Love is brewing between the sons of the U.S. and the U.K. in Red, White & Royal Blue, the highly-anticipated film adaptation of Casey McQuiston’s best-selling LGBTQ romance novel of the same name.
Co-written by Ted Malawer and Tony winner Matthew López, the Amazon original movie stars Taylor Zakhar Perez as Alex Claremont-Diaz, the son of the President of the United States (Uma Thurman), and Nicholas Galitzine as Britain’s Prince Henry. When an “international incident” — aka a toppled three-tiered cake at the royal wedding, the result of a shove shared between Alex and Henry — requires damage control, the two feuding young men must fake a friendship to repair their countries’ relations.
After an unexpected kiss at a New Year’s Eve party, Alex and Henry find themselves dodging the press, government officials and their own parents as they keep their relationship a secret.
