Prime Video has released another deleted scene from Red, White & Royal Blue and fans (including us) are “sobbing”. The three-minute scene, which has been titled ‘Prince Henry and Alex’s Fireside Chat’, sees Nicholas Galitzine’s fan-favourite monarch deliver a tender speech about the metaphorical “suit of armour” around his heart. “When you told me on our first night together that you couldn’t let anyone fall in love with you, did you really mean that?” asks Alex (Taylor Zakhar-Perez), referencing their first night of passion in Paris.
Henry responds: “Once upon a time, there was a young prince who was born in a castle, and there had never been a prince quite like him.
He was born with his heart on the outside of his body, whereas the other princes and noble children could withstand the slings and arrows of childhood, this prince felt everything acutely. “Everything seemed to touch and threaten his unprotected heart.
He didn’t know that he was different – not at first. His family did, and they grew fearful that the people in the kingdom would see who he really was and turn against him.” “His grandfather, the king, sent the prince a suit of armour and told him that if he always wore it, nothing would ever happen to him.
