Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
What transpires when the Prince of Wales and America’s First Son fall in love?
Alex Claremont-Diaz was immediately cast as the American version of a young royal after his mother was elected president. His image is pure millennial marketing gold for the White House. He is handsome, personable, and smart. There is only one issue: Alex is at odds with Henry, the real prince, who lives across the pond. And when a photo of an Alex-Henry altercation is obtained by the tabloids, American and British ties deteriorate.
The leaders of the family, the state, and other handlers come up with a strategy for damage control that involves arranging a truce between the two enemies. What starts off as a staged, Instagrammable friendship develops into something deeper and riskier than either Alex or Henry could have anticipated. Soon after, Alex finds himself falling headlong into a secret relationship with Henry, who is shockingly unpretentious. This relationship has the potential to ruin the campaign, upend two countries, and raise the question of whether love really can rescue the world. Where do we get the strength and bravery to be who we were meant to be? And how can we develop the ability to show our true colours? The movie Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston shows that true love isn’t always tactful.

Alex Claremont-Diaz, a rising political star and overachiever, enjoys the attention that comes with being associated with the most well-known family in the world. The First Son of the United States was raised to dream big and work hard, and he is currently working to finish college and become the youngest person to be elected to Congress. However, the same tabloids he frequently mocks continue to compare him to Prince Henry of the UK, the other First Son from across the sea, as if they were engaged in a competitive battle for the title of Most Eligible Bachelor in the World. And Alex despises losing, especially when it comes to a contest against his royal foe.
Alex and Henry are forced into a false friendship to keep the peace between the two countries after an embarrassing public mistake between the two young men occurs in the thick of a volatile election season. They have a lot more things in common than they initially believed, it turns out. Since Alex is the only character in the novel, we have a lot of insight into his thoughts and emotions. He is sarcastic, boisterous, and amusing, but he is also not afraid to be serious and to follow his heart when it tells him to.
Since Alex is the only character in the novel, we have a lot of insight into his thoughts and emotions. He is sarcastic, boisterous, and amusing, but he is also not afraid to be serious and to follow his heart when it tells him to. In contrast, Henry initially presents as the definition of a “stiff upper lip,” but as you get to know him, all of his gooey goodness comes out. He is absolutely passionate. Along with June, Alex’s fashionable and watchful elder sister, and Nora, her brilliant best friend and number cruncher, make form a fantastic supporting ensemble. A no-nonsense Madame President with a golden heart and an elderly queen who excels in cold shoulders will make special appearances.
