Alex Claremont-Diaz and Prince Henry are ready for their debut! Prime Video released a sneak peek at their Red, White and Royal Blue adaptation with an exclusive first look on Glamour. Read on to check out the images and discover what we know so far.

When the Red, White and Royal Blue book was first released in 2019, it was a huge hit. Since then, the film version of Casey McQuiston‘s debut rom-com has been one of the most anticipated upcoming adaptations.

The story follows Alex Claremont-Diaz (Taylor Zakhar Perez), the son of the President of the United States (Uma Thurman), and his long-running feud with Britain’s Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitizine). When a disastrous, public altercation reaches the tabloids at the worst possible time for US/British relations, everyone must enter damage-control mode. Their families and staff force Alex and Henry into a staged truce to hide their rivalry from the media. But as their relationship unexpectedly turns into a friendship, their friction changes to something deeper than they ever expected. 

Red, White and Royal Blue also features Sarah Shahi, Stephen Fry, Ellie Bamber, Thomas Flynn and Akshay Khanna, among others. Tony-winning playwright Matthew López co-wrote the film, which is also his directorial debut. In conversation with Glamour, López stated his movie “is an adaptation, not a recitation. I like to think that, as a fan of the novel, I was able to find the balance of serving Casey’s story while also serving the needs of the movie.”
