'Red, White & Royal Blue' Image: Alex and Henry Share an Intimate Moment

The Big Picture With just a few days to go ahead of the release of Red, White & Royal Blue, a new image from the film has been released, teasing a steamy encounter between Alex and Prince Henry. Played by Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine, the film chronicles a blooming romance between the son of the US president and a British prince, in a romantic comedy adaptation of Casey McQuinston's 2019 novel of the same name.

In a classic rivals to lovers tale, Red, White & Royal Blue sees a frosty encounter between the two men lead to a media scandal, straining international relations between the US and Britain. In a bid to save face, the pair are forced to spend time with one another in order, as they learn that perhaps they aren't so different after all. Zakhar Perez stars as Alex Claremont-Diaz, with Galitzine appearing as the British Prince Henry.

The film is directed by Matthew López, who makes his first foray into filmmaking following the great success of his play The Inheritance. López made history with the play, becoming the first Latiné playwright to take home the trophy for Best Play. Speaking with People, the director called the film a "wonderful fairy tale," saying that "It made me understand how queer audiences don't actually get to participate in fairy tales themselves too often.

A Steamy Rating The upcoming film was given an R rating from the Motion Picture Association, to which the director said "I think I was a little surprised at the R rating just because, while I never was encouraged to limit what we were showing or limit what I was depicting, the scene is what I intended to show. It plays exactly how I wanted it to play." He added "I do question whether or not if it had been a man and a woman, if we'd still gotten an R rating.

Red, White & Royal Blue is available to stream from August 11, exclusively on Amazon Prime Video. Check out the film's trailer below:
