[
With the next chapter in Alex and Prince Harry’s love story approaching, Red, White & Royal Wedding is starting to heat up.
Casey McQuiston, the sequel’s co-writer and author of the Red, White & Royal Blue book, teased at Prime Video‘s Obsessed Fest that the upcoming movie is “a couple degrees spicier” than the first movie, which debuted on the streamer in 2023.
“I can tell you something,” she prefaced. “There’s definitely more domesticity in this movie, because, you know, they’re together now. So, you get to see a little bit of their life at home. I really hope I don’t get in trouble for saying this.”
McQuiston added, “I would say it is a couple degrees spicier than the first movie. The intimacy is kind of dialed up in a way that is really beautiful and really fun to watch.”
Based on McQuiston’s 2019 LGBTQ romantasy novel, the sequel to Red, White & Royal Blue was first announced in May 2024, and the cast celebrated completing production on Red, White & Royal Wedding with a behind-the-scenes clip.
The sequel is penned by the first movie’s writer/director Matthew López, along with Gemma Burgess and McQuiston, with Jamie Babbit taking over for López in the director’s chair.
In Red, White & Royal Blue, President Ellen Claremont’s (Uma Thurman) son Alex (Taylor Zakhar Perez) has an embarrassing encounter with Prince Henry (Nicholas Galatzine), threatening U.S./U.K. relations and his mother’s reelection campaign. While attempting to clean up the bad press, the pair is forced to pretend to be best friends, during which the unlikely pair secretly falls in love.
Perez and Galitzine reunite for the sequel, with Berlanti Schechter Films’ Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter returning to produce, joined by the banner’s Michael McGrath, as well as López. McQuiston will executive produce.
