The trailer for Red, White & Royal Blue is here and it’s perfect
From Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine’s chemistry to Uma Thurman as the goddamn president, the first trailer for Red, White & Royal Blue is everything we wanted and more.
Based on Casey McQuiston’s iconic New York Bestseller of the same name, the Prime Video rom-com stars Zakhar Perez as Alex Claremont-Diaz and Galitzine as Prince Henry.
In similar vein to the book, the film follows the story of Alex, the son of America’s first female president (played by the Kill Bill icon), and his complicated relationship with his royal counterpart across the pond. “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,” reads the synopsis. “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.” To the beat of Lil Nas X’s 2021 smasher That’s What I Want, the trailer sees Alex and Henry cause an international, cake-related incident.
Prime Video After Thurman’s president forces her son to do some “good ol’ fashioned damage control”, Alex and Henry try and “convince the world” of their friendship, while falling in love in the process (and keeping it secret because, well, homophobia!).
