Alex Claremont-Diaz (Taylor Zakhar Perez), the son of the President of the United States (Uma Thurman), and Britain's Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine) have a lot in common: Stunning good looks, undeniable charisma, international popularity... and a total disdain for each other. 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. 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. Based on Casey McQuiston's critically acclaimed New York Times best seller, Red, White & Royal Blue marks the feature film writing and directing debut of Tony Award-winning playwright Matthew López (The Inheritance).

Critics Consensus

Amusing and endearing, Red, White & Royal Blue is a cheerfully formulaic rom-com that embraces inclusion without falling back on stereotypes.

Audience Says

A sweet, funny rom-com with a pair of charming stars, Red, White & Royal Blue will leave you pining for a sequel as soon as the credits start to roll.

If Red, White & Royal Blue sounds inelegant and feeble, it is.

It's a successful romantic comedy that, despite using several of the commonplaces of this type of film, has several ingredients that make it extremely attractive and effective. [Full Review in Spanish]

Red, White & Royal Blue fails at being a fun romantic comedy and also purely romantic. The energy isn’t there in front and behind the camera.

4/5

Mostly, it’s just a lot of fun, with a romance you can root for and a prince whose fairy tale ending feels satisfyingly uncomplicated.

This is the equivalent of a gay Hallmark movie, but Hallmark probably would have done it better. Corny.predictable and lacking passion or drama where it was needed. The saving grace was the cast and some decent comedic writing and acting by the supporting characters.

My comfort movie, always puts a smile on my face and uplifts my mood. Both boys are gorgeous and have great chemistry. The rest of the cast are amazing. Waiting on a sequel, hoping for a trilogy 🙏

Not bad, but not good. Basic plot, okayish vibes. Once watchable for the cast carrying it.

I do love a great gay couple especially in media, the plot is deterring though. 👏
