Though he was careful to share he doesn’t know anything about the already-announced Red, White & Royal Blue sequel yet, Perez was more than happy to share his hopes and dreams for Alex Claremont-Diaz and Prince Henry’s next chapter:“I would like to see Alex grow a bit more out from under his parents—like, use what he’s learned from the White House and take that out on the road,” Perez shared.
