Red, White & Royal Wedding, the highly anticipated sequel to the smash hit queer romance film Red, White & Royal Blue on Prime Video, has officially commenced filming in the vibrant city of London.
A recent teaser clip, lasting just 17 seconds, was shared on the official social media pages for Red, White & Royal Blue, revealing the exciting news that filming is underway. The clip features beloved stars Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine, confirming the sequel's production.
In the teaser, Galitzine, who charmingly portrays the British royal Prince Henry, greets fans with a cheerful "Hey guys," while Zakhar Perez, playing Henry’s love interest Alex Claremont-Diaz—the fictional son of the President of the United States—chimes in with an enthusiastic "What’s up?"
The brief video includes glimpses of humorous moments behind the scenes, such as Zakhar Perez filming a scene shirtless in bed, paired with clips of the co-stars laughing together. Galitzine concludes the teaser with a warm, "Welcome back!" to viewers.
The actors humorously address the sequel's suggestive title, Red, White & Royal Wedding, clarifying that the "wedding" centers around Princess Beatrice, portrayed by Ellie Bamber, who is Prince Henry’s younger sister.
"We just wanted to clarify, you know?" Galitzine jokes, signaling that wedding bells for their characters, Henry and Alex, are not quite ringing yet. "Don’t get confused," he adds. "That’s a long way off at this point."
This playful revelation accompanied a caption on the post, reading: "We’re SO beyond back. #RWRWedding is officially in production!"
The original film, based on Casey McQuiston’s acclaimed 2019 novel, captivated audiences with the engaging romance between Henry and Alex, who initially appeared as rivals on the international stage. However, circumstances forced them to spend time together, leading to an unexpected and secret love affair.
By the end of the first film, Alex triumphantly came out publicly, and his mother secured her second term as president. This left Henry and Alex free to explore their relationship in the public eye, setting the stage for new developments in the sequel.
While Red, White & Royal Wedding does not directly adapt a sequel novel by McQuiston, they have expertly crafted the screenplay. Esteemed director Jamie Babbit, known for her work on series like Only Murders In The Building and A League of Their Own, takes the helm for the sequel, following in the footsteps of the first film’s director Matthew Lopez.
Details about the sequel's plot remain under wraps, but it is expected to delve deeper into the evolution of Henry and Alex’s relationship as they navigate the complexities of their public and private lives.
A bonus chapter of McQuiston’s original novel, released in 2022, offers fans a glimpse into the future: Henry and Alex living together in Austin, Texas, and engaged in a life that blends academic pursuits and philanthropic endeavors. Alex is diligently working towards a law degree at NYU Law, while Henry steps back from royal obligations to focus more on charity work.
Fans of both the novel and the film are eagerly awaiting this continuation of their beloved story. Social media platforms are abuzz with excitement as fans express their joy and anticipation for the upcoming sequel.
"Red, White & Royal Wedding is officially in production. Inject that sh*t into my veins," one enthusiastic fan tweeted. Another exclaimed, "I waited years for this, I cannot f**king breathe." A third fan wrote, "This is the best update I could have asked for to start the week."
As of now, a release date for Red, White & Royal Wedding has not been announced, leaving fans to eagerly anticipate more news.
