Alex Claremont-Diaz, the son of the President of the United States, and Britain’s Prince Henry 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 bestseller, Red, White & Royal Blue marks the feature film writing and directing debut of Tony Award-winning playwright Matthew López (The Inheritance).

Red, White & Royal Blue stars Taylor Zakhar Perez (The Kissing Booth films) as Alex Claremont-Diaz; Nicholas Galitzine (Cinderella) as Prince Henry; Clifton Collins Jr. (Nightmare Alley) as Congressman and First Gentleman, Oscar Diaz; Sarah Shahi (Black Adam) as Zahra Bankston, the White House Deputy Chief-of-Staff; Rachel Hilson (Love, Victor) as Nora Holleran, the granddaughter of the Vice President and Alex’s best friend; with award-winning actor Stephen Fry (Gosford Park, The Dropout) as the King of England; and Oscar nominee Uma Thurman (Pulp
Fiction, the Kill Bill films) as President Ellen Claremont.

López directed the film from a screenplay he co-wrote with Ted Malawer. The film is produced by Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter, with McQuiston, Michael Riley McGrath, López and Michael S. Constable serving as executive producers.

Behind the scenes, López collaborated with two-time Oscar-nominated director of photography Stephen Goldblatt (Prince of Tides, Batman Forever, Angels in America), production designer Miren Marañón, editors Kristina Hetherington and Nick Moore, and costume designer Keith Madden. The music is by Drum & Lace.

Amazon Studios presents a Berlanti/Schechter Films Production, Red, White & Royal Blue.
