What is Red, White & Royal Blue About?
“Based on the New York Times bestseller, Red, White & Royal Blue centers around Alex, the president’s son, and Britain’s Prince Henry, whose long-running feud threatens to drive a wedge in U.S./British relations,” Amazon’s synopsis reads. “When the rivals are forced into a staged truce, their icy relationship begins to thaw, and the friction between them sparks something deeper than they ever expected.”
Besides Galitzine and Perez, Red, White & Royal Blue’s ensemble included Clifton Collins Jr., Sarah Shahi, Rachel Hilson, Stephen Fry, and Uma Thurman.
Released in August 2023, Red, White & Royal Blue became one of Prime Video’s top three most-watched romantic comedies of all time.
