The charm and sweetness of Casey McQuiston's novel Red, White & Royal Blue shine through in its Prime Video adaptation, directed by Matthew López.The core of the story remains intact, centring on the whirlwind romance between Alex Claremont-Diaz, played by Taylor Zakhar Perez, the First Son of the United States, and Prince Henry of Wales, played by Nicholas Galitzine. As with any adaptation, certain alterations have been made to bring the story to the screen. Let's delve into the significant changes and explore their impact on the film.
One of the most noticeable differences lies in the initial meeting between Alex and Henry. While the book has them meet at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, the film opts for a climate conference in Melbourne as their first encounter. Additionally, both characters have been aged up, with Henry now fully immersed in law school instead of being an undergraduate student.
However, these changes are relatively minor.The real intrigue arises from the significant deviations in character dynamics and storylines between the novel and the film adaptation. One of the most prominent changes involves the omission of a major character: Alex's big sister, June Claremont-Diaz. June, Alex, and Nora Holleran, played by Rachel Hilson, form the "White House Trio" and share a close bond.
In the book, June's presence offers crucial support to Alex, even pretending to date Henry when their relationship faces scrutiny. Regrettably, the film entirely eliminates June, with Nora taking on some of her role. Although Nora adequately fills the role of best friend and confidante, the absence of June's quips and the dynamic of the White House Trio is missed by fans of the book.
