I Watched *RED, WHITE & ROYAL BLUE* For The FIRST Time And It SHOCKED Me! 

Finally a queer romcom that doesn't just completely focus on how impossible a queer relationship can be, but just having a happy ending :)

I think something that can really make sense of the entire movie is if you notice that Alex is basically a stereotypical American: optimistic & carefree. Henry is depicted as a European stereotype: traditional & a realist. Yes, it's dumb for the royal family to not accept LGBT family members but those members also need to produce heirs. As Henry said, "I have CENTURIES of history weighing down on my shoulders." Even if Alex's bisexuality cost him his mom's or his own future job prospects, he will always have his supportive family. That's why Henry says he [Henry] "cant afford to be reckless"- as far as he knows, only his sister will be in his corner. This movie is a cheesy & adorable rom-com but I also think it's a real jewel box - there these little gems like the chemistry of the leads, the texting transitions, lines in the script, etc. ❤

it's the "i can't afford for you to fall in love with me" from henry to alex picking "can't help falling in love with you" for the dance for me

Her southern accent in this case is kinda relevant to the story and is written in the book. She comes from Texas and still managed as a progressive woman from Texas with a biracial family to be elected and supported by her home state.

She actually DID make a slideshow about Alex dating Henry. Her main concern was if he was using government funds to go visit him (no), and taking him off her campaign.

Apparently I am not alone in becoming completely obsessed with this film - in the best way possible. I have watched it again and again and again, all the clips, interviews, bloopers, and reaction videos that I can find - even rewatching some of the reactions again. Read the book after the movie, and so all the things they had to leave out of the movie I can read in the book, sort of a way of explaining on it.

It was the Rio Olympics, and what Henry REALLY said was, "Can you get rid of him?" Henry's explanation is mostly true to the book, with a few details left out: His father was a James Bond actor, and they were specifically visiting the cancer ward, in his honor.

The leads having chemistry for days, Uma Thurman as President, a great supporting cast, positive (and maybe goofy) depictions of queerness and a cozy movie? YES THANK YOU!

I love Amy - both the character and the person who plays her, Aneesh Sheth, who identifies as transgender. She was very thankful she got the role. I love her deadpan statements that she also manages to convey she really is sweet (including that quick wink she gives when says it is good the firecracker kid was in the hospital when "neutralized.")

HOMOSEXUALITY IS BEAUTIFUL!!! 😭💖

"How would he be on Grindr? Wouldn't they find him like immediately?" My guess is that every dude on there was like "LOL, this loser is trying to catfish using a picture of Prince Henry! As if!" and swiped left. Which would also explain the "unsuccessfully" bit...

When the romantic story is so strong that you don't need to understand politics

From what I understand, British royalty found their wrists hurting so much by waving in the normal way, which is why they deliberately chose the rotating the hand type of wave.

It was 2 turkeys, and Alex INSISTED on putting them in his room, and he was calling Henry because it turned out he's scared of them.

I want a sequal to this movie immediately! You have no idea how hard this movie has a grip on my heart and obsessive behavior I am down the rabbit hole with this move! I have rewatched it so many times now and even watched different reactors watch it for the first time... I even bought the book so I could read the original story that this movie was made off of....

King is played by gay icon Stephen Fry. In the book, it was a queen, but the directors thought it was too close to reality so they changed it. Then the queen died, and here we are. I also understand the brother, King Philip, was also played by a gay man. The entire cast is so inclusive and yet so well done, it took me a number of times to pick up on how extensive they got.

Like everyone else here, I love this movie! And I really loved your reaction! Possibly the funniest (& fun) ones I’ve seen! 🏆(Here’s your award) So glad you enjoyed it & shared with us.

11:49-11:53 i love zahra, she's so funny! she's even way more hilarious in the book 😂😂

Fun reaction. Love this movie. Crazy chemistry between 2 leads. Favorite Scene was the night in Paris. It was so incredibly intimate that I felt like I should turn away.

I'm obsessed with this movie and I don't even know why. It's not the best movie ever but I'm addicted to it!!!! I hope they make a sequel!

I love this movie!!! I have watched it 4 times in 1 day and I cannot stop. The book and the movie are great. The chemistry between Nick and Taylor is off the charts!!! I laughed, I cried. Everytime I watch it I see more details and nuances that I missed. The love making scene was perfection!!! Never seen anything like that before. ❤️ I have now seen it 24 times, I am not kidding! It just gets better and better!!! ❤❤❤ my new comfort movie

This was the FUNNIEST reaction I’ve ever watched. I think the chemistry Between these two actors are perfect and you said all my thoughts out loud. I highly suggest the book if you loved the movie because there’s some scenes that are missed in the movie, but are in the book. AND the Banter is so much better in the book which says a lot considering that there was a good amount in the movie

This is definitely one of those rom-coms that not only makes me actually love and care about the central relationship (which, if you know me, is kinda rare) but also does a cute and realistic spin on the whole Romeo and Juliet story!! 🏳️‍🌈🇬🇧🇨🇱

Evan is living proof that straight men can and do enjoy homosexual stories within tv 👑👑

Great movie and they had spectacular chemistry. I’ve watched it many times and I’m just as entertained each time hope they get to do a sequel.

Great react video, watched a lot of them, but yours is one of my faves. Some fun facts. The scene where Zahra barges into their hotelroom is mostly improv by the actress. Director told her to search for the 2nd person in the room and didn’t tell her anything else, just to do her thing. The scene after the Museum where Alex and Henry are sleeping and Alex is holding Henry’s wrist, wasn’t in the script, but they (the boys?) decided they wanted to do this scene. Which makes sense as Henry left Alex in the dead of night and after that ghosted him, so Alex wanted to make sure he couldn’t leave him again. Also among the family photos behind the Presidents desk in the oval office are family photos. One photo is of Taylor Zakhar Perez (Alex) as a kid and one photo was added later when Taylor’s dog Jack died of cancer during the filming of the movie, so they added a photo of Taylor with Jack among the family photos. Last the dedication at the end of the movie, “For Kristy” is in honor of Taylor’s oldest sister, who died in June of stage four colorectal cancer. She was his biggest fan and was looking forward to seeing him in his first leading role.

Actually the the person who played Henry is British. The 75,000 pounds comes out to over $91,000.00 American.

you calling Miguel a doofus head has me rolling with laughter

NOT THE GIVEN REFERENCE YOU JUST THREW IN THERE😂😂 in all seriousness, loved the reaction, appreciate the message of this film.

13:16 this is really funny because there was a small joke in the fandom that when you replay the clips of alex vs henry swimming at the start/end of the scene, 'you can tell which actor was a state ranked swimmer and who wasnt'

I SEE THE UNHINGED T-SHIRT!!! I SEEEEEEEEE IT! YESSSSSS!

I'm happy he waited to watch the post credit scene 😂😂

16:27 hahaha "why do I feel like I know this face" is my go-to reaction for every Stephen Fry scenes on TV

The text messaging was so artistically portrayed.

Loved your reaction and support fella !! Thanks

What's hilarious is that the king is played by Stephen Fry who is IRL gay and fully out of the closet. He's an english actor and TV presentor.

Another entertaining reaction for this movie. I hope this movie would have a sequel because fans deserve it.

The Garrett Watts sweatshirt is everything thooo

I absolutely loved your reaction 🥰

When I saw the movie for the first time and the king walked in I thought it was the Butler equarry thing lol, I was like when the king coming in this dude is plain

Sir, I'm too tired to be hype about this..... Sike LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO🥳🥳🥳🥳

I loved this film so incredibly much. When I read the book I was already sure that this would be one of my favourite LGBTQ+ stories ever. As a member of the community myself, I can say that the representation in this film was amazing and it is just a great romcom overall. I loved your reaction to it, just as much as I love the rest of your channel and I sincerely hope that you'll do more films like this

Loved your energy while watching the movie.

I love this movie so much! I think I have the storming of the castle scene memorized lol When I got the notification about this video I took a break from work so I could see it immediately! 😀

ISTG… if I see ONE MORE RWRB reaction video, I’ll just have to watch it and EXPLODE with 😅😊! …….Love them all!😂

I appreciate you calling out that henry is still wearing his jacket in that first love scene. I love this movie, and so so much of what they did, but that henry's bowtie apparently didn't even get loosened in that scene bugs the heck out of me! I can totally buy henry getting * right* down to business before alex changes his mind, but with him not even being rumpled it looks like alex did not a single one of those bad things he promised.

The boys are so pretty.

Young Conan!

I love this movie! I’ve seen it at last 20 times and have watched many reactions. I really enjoyed your reaction, sense of humor and supportive commentary! Thank you!🥰🥰👏🏽👏🏽

had to watch your review again lovebthis movie and u

I watched the movie and became an emotional wreck at first then read the book to fight the hangover and I’m still not over either the movie or book

You should read the book this is based upon. Their love story deserves to be appreciated in full.

She's from love victor, not riverdale

I absolutely loved this movie and the book was amazing! My new favorite part of the movie is the dance party simply because of your reaction to Get Low!! Lol! Could not stop laughing!

Of course I love this movie!! 😀 Also loved your commentary and reactions. There are so many wonderful moments in this, and elements to it, as you noted. Thanks for doing this movie.

It’s very American that you assume red white and blue is America when lots of colonized countries have those colors 😭😭 also it’s so refreshing seeing a Latino bisexual man proud of himself 🥰

People need to see the actor who played alex in the show minx on stars that will definitely blow ur mind on the actor

0:30 Taylor Zakhar Perez 0:38 from Love Victor

The given referenceeeee 😭😭😭😭

Dresden 😎 😅😂

Great job! Loved your positivity! My favorite scene is the one in the hotel room where Zahra freaks out on Henry and Alex. their comedic timing is excellent! Followed closely by the next scene with Alex and his President mom.

Great reaction! The film really was beautiful. 🇺🇸 ❤️🇬🇧

I enjoyed this!

Jumpers not Sweaters!

Dresden 😎 😅😂❤

Evan!! I’m so happy you finally watched this. And I’m so glad you loved it.

MID I appreciate you giving me hope and there is someone out there for everyone and Keep up the good work

It's such a wonderful rom-com.

when watching this movie some people forget the way real life British media treated Meghan Markle and her relationship/marriage to Harry. traditional British media and the monarchy is extremely conservative and racist.

9:05 You are the first guy I’ve seen react to this movie that understands that look! It is sexy and highly effective lol

Thank you for that hilarous react ! Some thoughts : Henry is the first to realize his feelings at new year's eve party (They used the same music for Alex in the karaoke scene.) I would have love that Henry explicitly said it to Alex during their talk. A gay prince, especially the spare, could be a political problem for the crown. He is in 2d position in the line of succession, and this may create issues for the Anglican church as for some Comonwealth realms. Beyond that, Henry being in a relation with a politician like Alex would be the major issue. Royal Family members have to be apolitical (sorry for poor english, I'm french)

I got so excited when this notification popped up the movie and book makes me so happy!

When I tell you I've been HOPING this video would happen. I got the notification and, immediately, nothing else mattered.

Omg yes, thank you so much for doing a commentary video on my favorite movie!! It made my day, appreciate you MID!! Sending love!! 🤩🎉🤗❤️🏳️‍🌈

finally, Conan O'Brien reacts to Red, White & Royal Blue. What a treat!!!

This was such a great reaction, loved that you noticed so many little things, the fact that he did need to get away as he found Alex attractive. Will definitely be tuning in again. ❤

Honestly did not expect the king to be played by legendary British actor and gay man Stephen Fry

Loved this movie❤ especially its message of “coming out on your own terms”. Recently people have been digging up stuff that Taylor Zackhar Perez (Alex) has been married to a man for years. And it is so sad that the message of the film has been ignored.

This reaction is so funny, I love your commentary a lot hahaaha :"D

great reaction video, and I agree that the texting & phone scenes were brilliantly done -- in fact, I think that people have overlooked how ingeniously the whole movie was shot and edited.

Help me Jesus!! HAHAHA! im so dead lol lmao

NOT THE GIVEN CLIP 😂😂😂 That was my first yaoi hahaha

NEED A SEQUEL TO THIS FILM ❤

If you get to read the book you'll love it just as much. Lots of little details explained. Thanks for sharing!

What actually happened was Henry tried to walk away, Alex reached out to stop him, so Henry SHOVED him away, which knocked him into the cake.

I have a lot of favorite parts in the movie but I think my top two is where Henry looks out at the supporters and says “I will no longer be the prince of shame or of secrets. Starting today, the world will know me for who I am…” and the favorite scene that ties with that is Alex’s speech. But overall loved the whole movie and I am currently reading the book the movie is based on.

THE CUT TO MAFUYU’s SONG TOOK ME OUTTTT 💀💀💀

Love your reactions!

How could not include Henry and Alex emerging from Buckingham Palace to greet their supporters???!!!!

😂😂😂 man I love your channel so much 😂😂😂

So they're making a deal with the writers to finally put an end to the strikes and get them their due payment. Good for them!

I love your reaction commentary. Soooo cute & funny.🎉😂

So I looked up the price of the cake in American dollars. That £75,000 cake would cost $93,818.62 in America. Almost $100,000

What a fun surprise. I adore this movie and this love story ❤

18:12 - So, one minor gripe, the prince appearing at a political campaign event would be HIGHLY inappropriate due to any perception of the royal family endorsing said candidate. If I was the Prince's PR person I'd advise against being with the campaign or at their events in a public setting.

Will have to skip this commentary for now as haven't seen the movie, yet. But just stopping by to show some love for one of my favourite channels and to also help with the algorithm. 🧡

Oh hell yeah. Watching this as soon as I can

God I love this, love is all.

I finally watched this film over the weekend. (Both the political aspect and the royalty aspect don't interest me so I kept putting it off.) I repeatedly heard good things about this film, but no one ever mentioned anything about their "moment". I am so happy that you had the same "Are they really having a "moment" while dancing to "Get Low" in this film?" reaction as I did. 😆

you should totally watch YOUNG ROYALS
