Prime Video’sRed, White & Royal Blueis only hours away from bringingCasey McQuiston’s bestselling romance novel to the screen. Over the course of a few weeks, the streamer has been keeping viewers on the edge of their seats, releasing theofficial trailer, sharingnew posters and images, and more. With less than a day to go, Prime Video shared another clip from the feature ahead of its premiere.
The new clip features Alex Claremont-Diaz (Taylor Zakhar Perez) and his mother President Ellen Claremont (Uma Thurman). By this point in the story, Alex and Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine) have begun a romantic — and mostly secret — relationship with each other. However, Alex is ready to begin telling more people close to him, including his mother. He tells her that he’s “met someone,” with Ellen breathing a sigh of relief thinking Alex had something much worse to reveal. She semi-jokingly checks that who she presumes is a woman isn’t Republican, so as not to jeopardize her re-election campaign. Then, Alex breaks the news thatthe person in question is Henry. Ellen doesn’t say too much in response (yet), calling for pizza before the longer conversation begins.
Though Ellen offers support for Alex and Henry’s relationship, the pair must keep it between themselves and those closest to them who already know. To the public eye,Alex and Henryare merely good friends, a front createdfollowing their cake incidentat the royal wedding that precipitates everything else. As they continue their charade, it turns into something much more real. However accepting their families are (which is still questionable in some regards), Alex and Henry must hide the true nature of their relationship lest it upends Ellen’s campaign or places more negative attention on Henry’s family.
