After two months of filming, production on Red, White and Royal Wedding, the sequel to Prime Video's 2023 hit film Red, White & Royal Blue, has wrapped filming. Sharing the news, Taylor Zakhar Perez, who plays Alex Claremont-Diaz alongside Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Henry, celebrated the occasion by posting a video of his co-stars bidding goodbye with the film's clapperboard.
The upcoming film will be directed by five-time Emmy-nominated Jamie Babbit from a script by Gemma Burgess, Matthew López, and Red, White & Royal Blue author Casey McQuiston. The film is based on McQuiston's 2019 LGBTQ romantasy novel.
First announced in May 2024, the film went on floors in January this year. Returning cast members include Uma Thurman, Sarah Shahi, Rachel Hilson, Ellie Bamber, Clifton Collins Jr., Stephen Fry, Thomas Flynn, Aneesh Sheth and Malcolm Atobrah. Newcomers for the film are Lena Headey, Chloe Fineman, Henry Ashton (A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms) and Alex Høgh Andersen (Vikings).
While plot details have been kept under wraps, the leads had earlier confirmed that Red, White & Royal Wedding's story will revolve around the marriage of Princess Beatrice (Bamber), the younger sister to Prince Henry.
The 2023 film revolves around Prince Henry, third in line to the British throne, and Alex Claremont-Diaz, the first son of the United States, who fall in love with each other. The film ends with Alex and Henry in a relationship, fighting all the odds that could separate them. Upon release on the streamer, the film was met with positive reviews across the globe.
Along with the actors, producers Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter of Berlanti Schechter Films are returning to back the project, along with Michael McGrath and Matthew López, who are also part of the banner. Jennifer Salke of Sullivan Street Productions is also producing, with Casey McQuiston and Michael Constable serving as executive producers.
A release date for Red, White & Royal Wedding is yet to be announced by the makers.
