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.

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.

Red, White & Royal Blue (2023) It's beautiful, charming, romantic, and enjoyable. This is a well-made film with two very talented actors. The story is quite simple, yet very captivating.
