Enemies-to-lovers, fake dating, royal bloodlines and an LGBTQ+ couple as the main plotline – all wrapped up into one novel.
These are just some of the tropes of the New York Times Bestseller “Red, White & Royal Blue” by Casey McQuiston, and the first poster for the upcoming film adaptation has just dropped.
“Red, White & Royal Blue” tells the story of Alex Claremont-Diaz (played by Taylor Zakhar Perez), the son of the President of the United States (played by Uma Thurman), and Britain’s Prince Henry (played by Nicholas Galitzine). The two have a lot in common: Stunning good looks, undeniable charisma, international popularity … and a total disdain for each other.
Separated by an ocean, their long-running feud hasn’t really been an issue, until a disastrous—and very public—altercation at a royal event becomes tabloid fodder, driving a potential wedge in U.S./British relations at the worst possible time. Going into damage-control mode, their families and handlers force the two rivals into a staged “truce.” But as Alex and Henry’s icy relationship unexpectedly begins to thaw into a tentative friendship, the friction that existed between them sparks something deeper than they ever expected.
The poster for the film features the two love interests sitting close together on a couch, each wearing socks clad with their corresponding country’s flag, with text over the men reading “Love who want. It’s good foreign policy.”
This LGBTQ+ centered international rom-com is full of drama, wit, banter and emotion. The film will be released on Prime Video on Aug. 11.
