It’s time to buckle up, FirstPrince shippers! If you thought the initial release of Red, White & Royal Blue had your heart in a flutter, the latest gift from Prime Video might just send you into full-on fanboy mode.
Just in time for the rom-com’s first anniversary on August 11th, the streaming giant has dropped a treasure trove of previously unseen images, and naturally, the internet has completely lost its collective mind.
And let’s be real, can you blame us? We’re all feeling like we’ve been let in on a secret that was just too juicy to keep hidden.
These freshly released snapshots offer even more of the magic we fell in love with, showcasing our favorite scenes between Prince Henry (Nicholas Galitzine) and Alex Claremont-Diaz (Taylor Zakhar Perez).
Remember that iconic museum dance? It’s back in all its glory, and now we have a few more angles to swoon over.
There’s also the hilariously disastrous cake scene and the once-deleted Cornetto moment that takes place at Kensington Palace, which, let’s be honest, should’ve never been left on the cutting room floor.

But the love doesn’t stop there.
The gallery also features the fierce and fabulous supporting cast we’ve come to adore—President Ellen Claremont (the legendary Uma Thurman), Senator Oscar Diaz (Clifton Collins Jr.), the sharp-witted Zahra Bankston (Sarah Shahi), and the ever-sarcastic Nora Holleron (Rachel Hilson).
And let’s not forget about the royal family, with King James III (Stephen Fry), Princess Beatrice (Ellie Bamber), Prince Phillip (Thomas Flynn), and more, all making appearances.
Director Matthew Lopez is spotted too, casually hanging out with the cast, as if he wasn’t responsible for every tear we shed during the movie.
And those tears? They’re back in full force as fans everywhere have taken to social media to express their over-the-top joy.
One person, clearly speaking for all of us, tweeted, “WHAT DO YALL MEAN YOU’VE JUST BEEN GATEKEEPING THESE THE WHOLE TIME?”
Another fan, summing up the collective emotional meltdown, wrote, “Screaming crying and throwing up.” Honestly, same.
For anyone unfamiliar, Red, White & Royal Blue is based on Casey McQuiston’s novel of the same name, and it tells the heartwarming and occasionally heart-wrenching love story between the son of America’s first female president and a British prince.
This queer fairy tale not only won over fans but also critics, shattering streaming records for Prime Video and even snagging a nomination for ‘Outstanding Television Movie’ at the upcoming Primetime Emmy Awards.
And in case you missed it (but seriously, how could you?), at a special screening earlier this year, Lopez hinted at more FirstPrince content coming our way.
Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine are set to reprise their roles in a sequel that promises to give us “another slice” of that irresistible UK-US romance.
While details are still under wraps, we’re already polishing our crowns and practicing our curtsies in anticipation.
So, whether you’re reliving your favorite moments or discovering new ones, these unseen images are the anniversary gift that keeps on giving.
Grab some popcorn, a tissue or two, and maybe a Cornetto, because this ride isn’t over yet.
Here’s to more royal rendezvous and all the drama, love, and laughter that comes with them! Cheers, darlings!
