In Red, White & Royal Blue, Alex Claremont-Diaz, son of the first American female president, and Prince Henry of Britain hold intense contempt for each other. This feud has been ongoing for years. When it erupts into a public display of disdain, something has to be done. As a show of good relations, both families propose signs of peace—a fake friendship. Rather reluctantly, Alex and Henry get to know each other. Soon, their strong feelings of hatred turn into strong feelings of something more. It’s an enemies-to-lovers storyline, and it’s incredibly captivating.

The rom-com’s storyline is based on the 2019 book of the same name. Author Casey McQuiston created characters that have since garnered much love and attention from readers and critics alike.

The love story comes to Amazon Prime Video on August 11th, which is not soon enough for many eager fans. This film marks Tony award-winning playwright Matthew López’s writing and directing debut. López wrote the award-winning play The Inheritance.
