Red White and Royal Blue Introduction Excerpt. Soon Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret romance with a surprisingly unstuffy Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations.Ĭasey McQuiston’s Red, White & Royal Blue proves: that true love isn’t always diplomatic. What at first begins as a fake, Instragramable friendship grows deeper, and more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Heads of family, state, and other handlers devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse. There’s only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the pond. Handsome, charismatic, genius―his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. What happens when America’s First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales? A political love story too timely and too genuine to miss.

By turns hilarious and angst-ridden, buoyant and strikingly real, this novel is a surefire bull’s-eye for any devotee of classic romance, slow burn fanfiction, or heartfelt storytelling. I tore through Red White and Royal Blue as if it were a pint of Ben & Jerry’s.
