Casey McQuistons romance novel Red, White Royal Blue was an instant New York Times bestseller when it first came out in 2019 and its topping bestseller lists once again ahead of Prime Videos film adaptation which premieres on August 11.

The book centers on Alex Claremont-Diaz, the Mexican American son of the U.S. president and his royal counterpart Prince Henry. The plot kicks off when the two feuding political progeny, and longtime rivals, get into an altercation, and the tabloids get hold of a photo of the incident, prompting their handlers to devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce. Their fake friendship soon evolves, and then hurtles, into a secret romance that threatens to complicate Alexs mothers re-election campaign.

The films first trailer dropped this week, unveiling a first look atTaylor Zakhar Perezs portrayal of Alex,Nicholas Galitzineas Prince Henry of Britain and Uma Thurman as the U.S president (with a thick southern accent). The adaptation also stars Stephen Fry, Sarah Shahi, Ellie Bamber, Clifton Collins Jr., Rachel Hilson and Thomas Flynn.

The LGBT romance story joins a growing list of bestselling books adapted to shows and movies, such as Taylor Jenkins Reids Daisy Jones The Six, Neil GaimansThe Sandman and Joyce Carol Oates Blonde.

Before streaming Red, White Royal Blue on Prime Video next month, you can buy the original novel on Amazon, with paperbacks available for as low as $10. The book is also available on Kindle and Audible, both of which are offering free trials for Prime Day.
