For the uninitiated, Red, White, And Royal Blue may just look like a queer romance hallmark movie on Prime Video, but fans of Booktok and romance novels will definitely be familiar with the immensely popular book. When the adaptation was announced, many were worried that the casting was a big miss and that there was no way Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitizine could do justice to their beloved characters, Alex and Henry. But on the contrary, after the release of the movie, they appear to be the best part, considering how much of the book has been cut out and how well they work out the banter that makes these characters so loveable. The 2-hour movie doesn’t just omit a lot of the interesting parts of the novel but also some important characters, which really seemed like an odd choice. Let’s break down some of these differences.

Content warning: the following story contains spoilers for "Red, White & Royal Blue."
Turning a beloved novel into a film is always a challenge, since there are inevitably things from the book that will have to be left out. In the new movie "Red, White & Royal Blue," based on Casey McQuiston's best-selling romance novel of the same name, director Matthew Lopez (who co-wrote the screenplay with Ted Malawer) had to make some choices about what to edit or change when adapting the book for the big screen. The book and movie both tell the love story of Alex Claremont-Diaz (Taylor Zakhar Perez), first son of the United States, and Britain's Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine), and their general trajectory is about the same in both tellings. But the world around them is quite a bit different between the book and the film, with some beloved characters getting completely cut from the narrative.
