Warning: contains spoilers for Red, White & Royal Blue.
Global interest in the British royals has increased in recent years, thanks, in part, to the prominent romance between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. So, it is perhaps not surprising that Amazon Prime’s new queer romantic comedy, Red, White & Royal Blue, has taken social media by storm.
The feature-length romcom follows Alex Claremont-Diaz, son of the first female US president (played by Uma Thurman), and Prince Henry Fox-Mountchristen-Windsor, who is fourth in line to the British throne, as they fall in love. Based on the 2019 novel by Casey McQuiston, the film follows the enemies-to-lovers trope, and starts off by showing off the protagonists’ dislike for each other.
