It's almost time to watch Red, White and Royal Blue on Prime Video to see the movie version of Casey McQuiston's bestselling LGBTQ romance novel. Finding love is hard enough without throwing global politics, publicity nightmares and coming out into the mix.
Red, White and Royal Blue premieres Friday (Aug. 11) at 12:01 a.m. ET on Prime Video.
Alex Claremont-Diaz (Taylor Zakhar Perez) is the son of the first woman President of the United States (Uma Thurman), while Britain’s Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine) is in line for the throne. They're both handsome, charismatic and popular worldwide — and they also hate each other.
When their long-simmering feud gets into the open, it not only threatens to ruin their public images but drive a wedge into U.S./British relations at the worst possible time. As damage control, Alex and Henry are forced into a staged friendship. But over time, it becomes very real — and escalates into love.
Here's everything to know about how to watch Red, White and Royal Blue online. Plus, scroll down for the trailer and cast list.

How to watch Red, White and Royal Blue anywhere on Earth
While Amazon Prime Video is available in many countries around the world, it's not everywhere. If you are in a region without access to Prime Video, you don't have to miss Red, White and Royal Blue. Watching along with the rest of the internet can be pretty easy. With the right VPN (virtual private network), you can stream the show from wherever you go.
We've evaluated many options, and the best VPN is ExpressVPN. It meets the VPN needs of the vast majority of users, offering outstanding compatibility with most devices and impressive connection speeds. It's also affordable at $12.95 per month. (Signing up for longer periods of six months or a year reduces the cost even more.)
Using a VPN is incredibly simple.
1. Install the VPN of your choice. As we've said, ExpressVPN is our favorite.
2. Choose the location you wish to connect to in the VPN app. For instance if you're in the U.S. and want to view a U.K. service, you'd select U.K. from the list.
3. Sit back and enjoy the action. Head to Amazon Prime Video or other streaming services and tune in.
