Happy anniversary to the film that made us all believe in fairy-tale romance again! Prime Video just marked the 1-year milestone of the beloved queer rom-com Red, White & Royal Blue by dropping some never-before-seen behind-the-scenes photos and videos—and fans are eating it up.
A Royal Hit
Starring Nicholas Galitzine, Taylor Zakhar Perez, and Uma Thurman, Red, White & Royal Blue quickly became a social media sensation, catapulting to Prime Video’s #1 spot upon its release. The film’s devoted fanbase is still buzzing with excitement a year later, proving that this royal love story has staying power.
The official Red, White & Royal Blue Instagram account got in on the celebration too, sharing a playful supercut of Alex and Prince Henry’s Top 5 moments with the cheeky caption, “1 year later and they’re still not beating the rivals-to-lovers allegations.” The post racked up likes faster than you can say “royal romance.”
RWRB Awards and Accolades
The love for Red, White & Royal Blue didn’t stop at social media. Just last month, the film was nominated for a Primetime Emmy for Outstanding Television Movie. Casey McQuiston, the author of the original novel, couldn’t contain their excitement, posting, “Interrupting my regularly scheduled PAIRING programming because the RWRB movie was just nominated for an EMMY AWARD!” They added, “And of course at a moment like this, I’m always thinking of the readers who championed this story from day one.”
Red, White & Royal Blue the Sequel!
And for those who can’t get enough of Alex and Prince Henry, here’s some news to make your heart flutter: a sequel is officially in the works! Director Matthew López confirmed the exciting development back in May, and McQuiston hinted, “Matthew and I are writing it together. And that’s all we can say!”
