The Red, White & Royal Blue movie, based on a rom-com novel, has been dubbed the ‘romance of the summer’
A new romantic film will depict the love story between an English prince and the son of the US president.
Red, White and Royal Blue is based on Casey McQuiston’s bestseller, in which Mexican-American character Alex Claremont-Diaz, played by Taylor Zakhar Perez, falls in love with Britain’s Prince Henry, played by Nicholas Galitzine.
The duo go to great lengths to keep their romance a secret from the rest of the world, trying to avoid turning the two nations upside down – leading to some very steamy, intimate scenes.
The much-anticipated movie — already being dubbed the “romance of the summer,” according to reports — also features an A-lister cast, from Uma Thurman as U.S. President Ellen Claremont to Stephen Fry. It will be available on Prime Video on August 11.
When it was first published in May 2019, the book caused an instant sensation and rose to the top of the New York Times bestseller list.

When an altercation between Alex and Price Henry makes headlines, American and British relations quickly collapse.

The only problem? They must keep it a secret to avoid ruining a presidential campaign and further upsetting both nations.
For the film, intimacy coordinator Robbie Taylor Hunt was given the role of ensuring that the physical intimacy between Henry and Alex was told “in the best and safest way possible,” according to Glamor.

Nicholas Galitzine said, ‘It’s a very vulnerable and familiar space. Taylor and I had to rely on each other because we really wanted to tell that story honestly and feel like we weren’t held back by our own boundaries that we were setting.
