A 2023 American romantic comedy film, Red, White & Royal Blue stars Taylor Zakhar Perez and Nicholas Galitzine in a story about a developing romance between the son of the president of the United States and a British prince.

Based on the 2019 novel by Casey McQuiston, it features supporting performances from Clifton Collins Jr., Sarah Shahi, Rachel Hilson, Stephen Fry, and Uma Thurman.

Critics responded favorably, and it earned a nomination for Outstanding Television Movie at the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards. This film marked the final release under the Amazon Studios name before the studio rebranded as Amazon MGM Studios one month later. A sequel titled Red, White & Royal Wedding is currently in development, with Zakhar Perez and Galitzine confirmed to reprise their roles.
