Unveiling Forbidden Love: The Sensational Red, White & Royal Blue Trailer

The official trailer for the Red, White, & Royal Blue movie is now available. This film is based on the 2019 Casey McQuiston novel of the same name and tells the story of Alex, the son of the US President, who falls in love with his rival, Prince Henry of England, as they pretend to be friends due to a scandal. Starring Taylor Zakhar Perez as Alex and Nicholas Galitzine as Henry, the movie also features Uma Thurman, Clifton Collins Jr., Stephen Fry, Sarah Shahi, Rachel Hilson, and Ellie Bamber. Prime Video will premiere the movie on August 11. Don't miss the trailer below!

How Faithful Will Red, White, & Royal Blue Be to the Original Book?

From what has been unveiled in the preview, it is evident that the film will stay true to the original source material. Various significant character encounters and monumental scenes have already been incorporated. These consist of a confrontation resulting in the collapse of a massive wedding cake, the protagonists' inaugural kiss during Alex's New Year's Eve celebration, and a stolen intimate moment by a lake house.

The characters portrayed in the trailer appear to be directly taken from the book, with Uma Thurman's captivating Southern accent as President Ellen Claremont and Sarah Shahi's sharp-witted criticisms as her Deputy Chief of Staff Zahra Bankston. The central theme of the Red, White, & Royal Blue romance, the tug-of-war dynamics between Henry and Alex, is also prominently portrayed. It is probable that there will be some deviations between the book and the film adaptation, but this trailer remains remarkably faithful. Any changes made are likely due to the need to condense or merge certain scenes to fit the movie's runtime, rather than altering the course of events significantly.
