About the Red, White & Royal Blue

Based on Casey McQuiston’s best-selling novel of the same name, the upcoming Amazon Prime film stars The Kissing Booth’s Taylor Zakhar Perez and Purple Hearts’ Nicholas Galitzine as two men from different sides of the Atlantic who end up developing feelings for each other after faking a friendship.

Upon its initial release in May 2019, the novel became a fan favorite among book readers, making the adaptation even more anticipated.

Before the film’s release, here’s everything to know.

What is Red White & Royal Blue about?

The film focuses on Alex Claremont-Diaz (Zakhar Perez), the first Son of the United States president and a British prince named Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine).

After getting into an argument, their handlers “devise a plan for damage control: staging a peace,” per the official logline for the film. Eventually, their fake friendship grows into “something more significant” as they develop feelings for each other.

Note: The movie adaptation of Red, White & Royal Blue will be faithful to the novel regarding its sex scenes. Don’t get us wrong: Red, White & Royal Blue isn’t anything like Fifty Shades of Grey. With that said, there are a few sex scenes in the novel that could be compromised if the movie aimed for a PG-13 rating.
