What happens when America's First Son falls in love with the Prince of Wales?
When his mother became President, Alex Claremont-Diaz was promptly cast as the American equivalent of a young royal. Handsome, charismatic, genius—his image is pure millennial-marketing gold for the White House. There's only one problem: Alex has a beef with the actual prince, Henry, across the pond. And when the tabloids get hold of a photo involving an Alex-Henry altercation, U.S./British relations take a turn for the worse.
Heads of family, state, and other handlers devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce between the two rivals. What at first begins as a fake, Instragramable friendship grows deeper, and more dangerous, than either Alex or Henry could have imagined. Soon Alex finds himself hurtling into a secret romance with a surprisingly unstuffy Henry that could derail the campaign and upend two nations and begs the question: Can love save the world after all? Where do we find the courage, and the power, to be the people we are meant to be? And how can we learn to let our true colors shine through? Casey McQuiston's Red, White & Royal Blue proves: true love isn't always diplomatic.

✨ Summarized by Bookclubs AI
Readers say *Red, White & Royal Blue* is a beautifully written, charming romance filled with witty humor, engaging characters, and heartfelt moments. ...
I think more people need to read this beautiful book.
I’m personally not a huge fan of political topics in my leisurely reading, but to me, the main topics in this book shouldn’t be a political issue... it should be human nature to accept everyone.
P.S. Any book that calls Mitch McConnell, “Bitch McConnell,” gets an A in my book! (For those unfamiliar, he’s a Majority Leader from my state.) Although “Majority Leader” is a title he holds, I think “Repressed-Old-Fart-Who-Hates-Everyone-Who-Isn’t-A-White-Male-And-Has-A-Huge-Part-In-Ruining-The-American-Government” has a nicer ring to it. Also. He looks like a turtle.
Make you want to keep on chugging along! Best contemporary of the year
P.S
definitely expected to see more of Alex and Henry in the future in the ending but it was still good.
