The queers are an “emotional wreck rn” following the release of Red, White & Royal Blue.
Prime Video’s long-awaited adaptation of Casey McQuiston’s beloved novel follows the romantic (and spicy!) relationship between a British prince (Nicholas Galitzine) and the son of America’s first-ever female president (Taylor Zakhar Perez).
The cast also includes Uma Thurman as the president (camp as hell and we love it), in addition to Clifton Collins Jr., Sarah Shahi, Rachel Hilson, Stephen Fry, Ellie Bamber, Thomas Flynn, Malcolm Atobrah, Akshay Khanna, Sharon D Clarke, Aneesh Sheth and Juan Castano.
In a huge win for LGBTQ+ representation, Red, White & Royal Blue has received general acclaim from critics for the performances of the two leads, its faithfulness to the iconic source material and one particular scene with the aforementioned Kill Bill icon that has already gone viral on social media.
To celebrate the release of this instant queer classic, we’ve ranked Alex and Prince Henry’s five best scenes; from their first time ‘making love’ to their romantic, Perfume Genius-assisted museum dance.
(It goes without saying, but spoilers ahead.)
