Top 5 Alex and Henry moments in Red, White & Royal Blue
The main couple's on-screen chemistry definitely heats up the entire movie. Following the global fans' top picks, here are the top five Red, White & Royal Blue moments!
1) An exchanged look at Alex’s party
Henry gets invited to the White House reception after their argument over cake. The two are positioned on opposing corners of the room as "Get Low" by Lil Jon is playing over the speakers while people are dancing and drinking. Henry and Alex are still standing while the other visitors all fall to the ground. The music slows down, and it is obvious that a spark has been lit between them when they catch each other's eyes.
2) The soaked reunion at the stairway
When Alex reluctantly travels across the Atlantic to visit a locked-up Henry after spending months apart, England greeted him with a deluge! Most people would be lying if they said they did not grip their hearts as they watched Alex and Henry jump across to embrace one another while standing drenched in the rain at the doors of Buckingham Palace.
3) The Museum hideaway date
After a rain-soaked argument about their future at Buckingham Palace, Alex takes Henry to his preferred museum, where at night no one else is around to gawk at them or try to take their picture. Prince Henry goes on to explain:
“When I was younger, I would dream of taking somebody I loved here, and he’d love it just as much as I do. And we’d dance right here amidst all these statues, just a daft pubescent fantasy.”
It truly melted the hearts of all viewers when the lovers danced away to Perfume Genius’ chilling cover of "Can’t Help Falling in Love." Red, White & Royal Blue features a musical score that captures the essence of the moments shared by Alex and Henry!
4) Henry and Alex against the world!
Crowds of thousands gather throughout the UK in support of Alex and Henry when their illicit emails are released and their relationship is reluctantly ended. This gives Henry the strength to "no longer be the prince of shame and secrets."
Henry says:
"Starting today, the world will know me for who I am, and not who you want me to be."
Alex and Henry subsequently face the world together as a couple, one that refuses to be restrained by the archaic rules of the monarchy.
5) Alex's iconic speech
After a journalist outs Henry and Alex to the public, the couple strives to figure out what their relationship means for their families, their nations, and their careers in public life. In one of the movie's most moving scenes, Alex delivers a statement from the White House to the US public and the press in which he declares his love for Henry and angrily denounces the forced outing.
Here is an excerpt from the iconic speech made by Alex:
"The truth is, every queer person has the right to come out on their own terms, and on their own timeline. They also have the right to choose not to come out at all."
This moment is probably one of the most defining moments from the Red, White & Royal Blue which struck a chord among a majority of viewers and relayed a very important message!
The young-adult queer romance Red, White & Royal Blue is now streaming on Prime Video in 240+ countries and territories worldwide.
