Red White and Royal Blue: Everything We Know So Far!

We’re less than a month away from the release of Red, White, & Royal Blue on Amazon Prime! Here’s everything we know so far about the film!

Red, White, & Royal Blue is an upcoming LGBTQ+ rom-com directed by Tony award-winning playwright Matthew Lopez. The film is based on The New York Times bestseller written by Casey McQuiston in 2019. Amazon Prime has recently announced the film will be released on August 11!

The story of Red, White, & Royal Blue follows two star-crossed lovers as their longtime feud turns into a love story. The secret romance develops between Alex Claremont-Diaz, the son of the United States President, and Henry, the Prince of England. After an altercation between the two, their handlers devise a plan to stage a truce for the public. However, there appears to be more than just friendship behind their publicity stunt.

Fans of the book are excited that director Matthew Lopez has revealed the movie will stay true to McQuiston’s novel due to her involvement behind the scenes. More specifically, Lopez said, “It is an adaptation, not a recitation. I like to think that, as a fan of the novel, I was able to find the balance of serving Casey’s story while also serving the needs of the movie.”

The cast of this film is excellent with Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine playing the leading men, Alex Claremont-Diaz and Prince Henry. You may recognize Nicholas Galitzine from Camila Cabello’s Cinderella and Taylor Zakhar Perez from The Kissing Booth 2 &3. Uma Thurman is cast as Alex’s mother, who also happens to be the newly elected United States President. Other names that join the cast include Rachel Hilson, Clifton Collins Jr., Stephen Fry, Sarah Shahi, Ellie Bamber, Aneesh Sheth, Polo Morin, Ahmed Elhaj, Sharon D.
