About Red, White & Royal Blue
Two rivals with a lot to lose collide at a high profile event, turning a tense blow up into a media circus that threatens to strain a fragile alliance between nations. Alex Claremont Diaz, the American president's son, and Prince Henry of Britain find themselves in the same orbit after a public clash, forcing a staged truce to cool things down. Under the pressure of cameras and protocol, their chilly attitudes start to thaw as they pretend to be friendly for the sake of diplomacy. As their mock partnership grows into real feelings, both men must question what they want from power, duty, and each other. Their antics keep things light while hinting at something deeper.
