Casey McQuiston won over readers with her dreamy queer love story Red, White & Royal Blue. The page to screen adaptation features Taylor Zakhar Perez as Alex Claremont-Diaz, the First Son of the United States under President Ellen Claremont, the first female president of the United States. She’s played by Uma Thurman. On a recent trip to England to celebrate the marriage of Prince Phillip, he runs into Prince Henry (Galitzine) who he finds snobby and arrogant. They make headlines together after causing a wedding cake disaster and are forced to go on a publicity tour for damage control and to make amends. It’s an opposites attract love story when a texting relationship spirals into flirting and a hidden love affair. It’s only a matter of time before word leaks that the First Son and the Prince of England are having a secret romance. Streaming on Prime Video August 11
