The first stills from Red, White & Royal Blue are here, finally giving fans a sneak peek of the highly-anticipated film.Launching August 11 on Prime Video, the movie is based on Casey McQuinston’s bestselling book of the same name.
The novel follows Alex Claremont-Diaz, the son of America’s first female president, as he tries to make sense of his complicated relationship with none other than Prince Henry, a British Royal.
When Alex’s public image comes into question after tabloids publish a picture where he appears to be fighting his rival, Prince Henry, to save relations between the UK and the US, the pair reluctantly agrees to pretend to be friends.
However, it doesn’t take long for the fake friendship to develop into something more. The movie synopsis speaks of their entanglement, writing: “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’.
