Casey McQuiston’s romance novel “Red, White & Royal Blue” was an instant New York Times bestseller when it first came out in 2019 and it’s topping bestseller lists once again ahead of Prime Video’s film adaptation which premieres on August 11.
The book centers on Alex Claremont-Diaz, the Mexican American son of the U.S. president and his royal counterpart Prince Henry.
