Red, White & Royal Blue author teases Alex and Henry’s future
Casey McQuiston, the author of Red, White & Royal Blue, has sent fans into a crazy with her recent comments. Over the past week, the romance writer has been revealing unknown details about the aforementioned novel, which was recently adapted into an acclaimed Prime Video rom-com, such as Prince Henry and Alex’s interests and hobbies.
In a Thread post about Alex Claremont-Diaz, the son of America’s first female president, McQuiston revealed that Freddie Mercury is his favourite “bi icon”, Speak Now is his preferred Taylor Swift era and that he’s a “lifelong fan” of The Killers because of his “formative crush” on lead singer Brandon Flowers.
For Prince Henry, the author shared that “baby Jude Law” was the person she envisioned to play him and that his “gay awakening” was British actor Colin Firth, “but” Colin Firth as Mr Darcy in the 1995 television adaptation of Pride & Prejudice.
Another fun fact: Alex and Henry would appear as a guest judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race “in a second if asked” and their favourite winners are Bob the Drag Queen and Sasha Velour, respectively.
