In Red, White and Royal Blue you will find out what happens when America’s first son falls in love with the Prince of Wales – it’s funny, romantic and sexy, with a good dose of awkwardness.
Straight people, he thinks, probably don’t spend this much time convincing themselves that they’re straight.
Charismatic Alex Claremont-Diaz is the son of the first female President of the US. He has a beef with his nemesis, Prince Henry and it’s proving to be a risk to US/British diplomacy. The young men’s parents and handlers hatch a plan to make them play nicely together.
‘You are’, he says, ‘the absolute worst idea I’ve ever had.’
At first they are all frenemies, but their attraction to one another soon becomes apparent when they find themselves locked in a broom cupboard together. Of course the world power’s leading men being gay presents a whole lot of other issues.
Love is like a fairy tale, it would come sweeping into your life on the back of a dragon one day.
Red, White and Royal Blue is a delightful, feel good, empowering love story with an imaginative premise. Highly recommend it.
