Review: Red, White & Royal Blue
Even if there had never been a pandemic, the book Red, White & Royal Blue would’ve been a hit. But once 2020 revealed what it had in store, the royal rom-com about the son of a female American president (and a father who hailed from Mexico!) and a British prince became a soothing balm about an alternate, kinder world. That some of its rougher, darker edges would be left on the page is expected, but the real question is why, why, WHY the movie felt the need to scrub most of the politics out of the equation.
