Amazingly Embarrassing Parents: Ellen is completely accepting when Alex comes out to her... and then starts giving him detailed instructions on how to avoid STIs if he's having anal sex. Including what specifically pertains to him if he's bottoming. Alex is utterly mortified. | |

Heroic BSoD: Played for Laughs when Zahra discovers the half-naked Henry in Alex's hotel closet and realizes they're sleeping together. Her ensuing meltdown has nothing to do with homophobia and everything to do with the PR nightmare Alex just dropped in her lap on the day of his mother's nomination speech. A more serious example is Henry, after his and Alex's emails are leaked, outing both his sexuality and their relationship to the world against their wills. The montage during Alex's speech shows him depressed and on the verge of tears the entire time and his mood only starts to improve when Alex and him are finally reunited. | |

Love Ruins the Realm | |
| Red, White & Royal Blue / int_147996f2 | comment |
Love Ruins the Realm: The biggest obstacle to Alex and Henry's relationship is the fear of the public backlash it could cause were the two to go public. In addition to potentially sabotaging Ellen's reelection campaign due to the political ramifications of her son dating (and potentially marrying) a foreign head of state, Henry's family believes that having a homosexual heir will cause irreparable damage to the monarchy's already shaky reputation. In the end, it's subverted. Alex's efforts in Texas counters whatever negative backlash might have come of their forced outing and ensure his mother is reelected, while Henry receives a massive outpouring of support from the public, giving him the courage to come out for real and finally be himself. | |

| Red, White & Royal Blue / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: When Henry finally confronts Alex over why the latter dislikes him so much, Alex reveals that during their first meeting at the Melbourne Climate Conference, Henry looked at him like "[Alex] had head lice", then turned to his equerry and told him to "get [Henry] out of here". An ashamed and apologetic Henry explains to Alex that his rude behavior was due to the fact that he didn't want to be there at the conference at all, as it was right after his father's death. What he actually said was "I need to get out of here", which he insists meant something else entirely. It's later revealed that this is because he had fallen for Alex at first sight and wasn't able to handle those feelings at the time. | |

Intertwined Fingers: When making love for the first time in Paris, there's a close up of Alex and Henry's lacing their fingers. After they're publicly outed in the last leg of the movie and no longer have to hide their relationship, they start holding hands more often in an open, if subtle display of affection. | |

Adaptation Deviation | |
| Red, White & Royal Blue / int_23a1e2a9 | comment |
Adaptation Deviation: In the book, the emails are leaked by Richards. In the movie, it's implied Miguel did it. In the movie, Alex already seems to know he's not straight and has hooked up with a high school friend and a journalist before Henry kissed him. In the book, Alex had fooled around with his best friend from high school, but still thought he was straight until Henry kissed him, after which he had a bit of a sexuality crisis. In the book, Alex and Nora join Ellen's campaign in DC a little after New Year's, with Alex later being removed because his romance with Henry could jeopardize it. In the movie, Nora is already a part of it, while Alex joins a couple months after New Year's and is stationed in Texas since it was his idea to campaign there. Ellen keeps him on after learning about Henry because Alex has become the face of the Texas team. | |

Mythology Gag: At the lakehouse while he and Henry lie in a hammock, Alex has a paperback copy of Casey McQuiston's One Last Stop in hand. When Alex comes out as bisexual to his mother, Ellen wryly notes that if she'd had more warning, she could've made him a PowerPoint presentation about his situation with Henry. In the book, she actually does. | |

Adapted Out | |
| Red, White & Royal Blue / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: Alex's older sister June doesn't exist in the movie. This means that the plot about her briefly pretending to date Henry when people are getting suspicious is also cut. In the movie, Alex's parents are still together. In the book, they are divorced and Ellen is now married to Leo, who doesn't exist here. They also cut out Rafael Luna, a gay Latino politician Alex looks up to. In the books, he betrays the Claremont-Diaz family by siding with Richards, which turns out to be a ploy to expose his sex crimes. Henry's mother is mentioned, but never actually shows up during the film. In the books, she actually shows up at the end to stand up for her son after the emails are leaked. Bea's former cocaine addiction is not mentioned in the movie. Henry also doesn't talk about it in the leaked emails here. Liam, Alex's best friend from high school, also didn't appear. Alex does mention fooling around with a high school friend, but does not name him. | |

It also becomes very obvious early on that the two of them are just fooling themselves and that they were probably already halfway in love with each other before their first hook-up. | |

Their First Time | |
| Red, White & Royal Blue / int_4e3dee88 | comment |
Their First Time: Alex and Henry's first time having anal sex in Paris is treated as this. While neither of them are virgins and they've already had oral sex at least twice at this point, it's nonetheless a big step in their relationship, especially since it's the first time Alex has been with a man in such a fashion. Henry describing the act as "making love" only emphasizes it. Alex is initially very awkward and nervous due to his inexperience, causing Henry to promise he'll properly guide him through it. | |

Unknowingly in Love | |
| Red, White & Royal Blue / int_5062bd9d | comment |
Unknowingly in Love: It is not until he's forced to put up a friendly front with Alex after the Cakegate Incident that Henry is willing to acknowledge that he's in love with Alex, and probably has been since the day they first met. Similarly, Alex is both oblivious to Henry's feelings and his own feelings for Henry until their kiss at New Year's. The self-deception runs so deep that even after they finally confirm their attraction toward each other, they try to keep their relationship as Friends with Benefits, even though they both know their feelings for each other run much deeper than that. | |

No Bisexuals: Averted as Alex is bi, but he and his mom discuss this when he comes out to her. She specifically asks him what title he chooses for himself, and after he says "bi", she mentions that the B in LGBTQ+ isn't silent. This is a reference to "the silent B in LGBT" which refers to Real Life bisexual erasure. | |

Eating the Eye Candy | |
| Red, White & Royal Blue / int_68424916 | comment |
Eating the Eye Candy: The movie starts off with Nora and Beatrice remarking on how attractive Henry and Alex are, respectively. The latter two, stuck very much on the "belligerent" part of Belligerent Sexual Tension at that point, naturally react negatively to their remarks. Alex while watching Henry at the polo match. Helped by the fact that the camera focuses pretty blatantly on Henry's uh, assets, as he plays the game intercut with Alex staring appreciatively and grinning. | |

Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap! | |
| Red, White & Royal Blue / int_69cce3dc | comment |
Explain, Explain... Oh, Crap!: A non-verbal example that is Played for Laughs when Zahra realizes Alex has hooked up with someone the night before his mother's nomination speech. She's understandably angry, fearing Alex didn't bother with an NDA and has jeopardized campaign security. She furiously searches through the hotel room, expecting to find a half-naked woman in the closet...and instead finds the half-naked Henry. Zahra is at first visibly confused...and then confusion gives way to horrified (albeit still comedic) shock as she processes the scene and realizes the son of the American President and the third in line to the British throne are sleeping with each other. | |

Belligerent Sexual Tension | |
| Red, White & Royal Blue / int_75d6bf40 | comment |
The movie starts off with Nora and Beatrice remarking on how attractive Henry and Alex are, respectively. The latter two, stuck very much on the "belligerent" part of Belligerent Sexual Tension at that point, naturally react negatively to their remarks. | |

Played for Laughs when Zahra discovers the half-naked Henry in Alex's hotel closet and realizes they're sleeping together. Her ensuing meltdown has nothing to do with homophobia and everything to do with the PR nightmare Alex just dropped in her lap on the day of his mother's nomination speech. | |

Uptight Loves Wild | |
| Red, White & Royal Blue / int_79729e6d | comment |
Uptight Loves Wild: Proper, reserved British royal Henry and extroverted, fun-loving Alex fall head-over-heels in love with each other. Somewhat subverted in that, when he's with people he truly trusts, Henry is significantly less proper than he first appears, with a witty sense of humour and a writer's sensitivity and gift with words. Meanwhile, seemingly-frivolous Alex is also incredibly driven and intelligent, with an ambition to hold political office one day and change the world for the better. | |

Didn't Think This Through: Miguel's fateful mistake when he leaks Alex and Henry's emails on Reddit and publishes his exposé. Specifically, Miguel is so quick to "break" the story and get all the credit and glory for himself (not to mention getting back at Alex for rejecting his advances) that he neglects to consider one key factor: The window of time between the Reddit leak and his article's publication. Rather than wait just long enough until he could've plausibly read through all 70+ emails and then written his article, Miguel instead published his exposé almost immediately after the Reddit leak. This comes back to bite him later during his interview with Joy Reid (who notices the incongruity, picks it apart, and exposes Miguel's role in the hack on live television). | |

Subsequent events prove out that they do indeed "feel 'forever'" about each other. | |

Living Out a Childhood Dream: A downplayed example. As a child Henry's father would frequently bring him to the V&A museum at night so they could look at the statues in private, while the crowds weren't around to bother them. Henry dreamed of doing the same with someone he loved some day and dancing with them amongst all the statues, which as an adult he dismisses as a "daft pubescent fantasy". Immediately after he confesses this to Alex while they're visiting the V&A, Alex takes out his phone, starts playing "Can't Help Falling In Love", then sets it down so he can go dance with Henry. | |

In addition to being permanently stuck in the closet because of his position and being unable to affect any real change due to the monarchy's political neutrality, he finds the entire idea of royalty in the twenty-first century to be pointless and frivolous, ironically a similar opinion to one Alex expressed earlier in the film. | |

Spotting the Thread | |

Spotting the Thread: This is how Miguel gets busted by Joy Reid on live television after he publishes Alex and Henry's emails. Reid notices that Miguel's exposé was published almost immediately after the emails were originally leaked on Reddit. As she then realizes and points out on the air, there's no way that Miguel could've read through all 70+ emails and written his exposé in such a brief window of time. The obvious inference, of course, is that Miguel must have had access to the emails before they leaked — meaning he was either behind the hack, or at the least was an accessory. | |

| Red, White & Royal Blue / int_f5f79e56 | comment |
Hard-Work Montage: After he's sent to Texas, a montage is shown of Alex campaigning hard throughout the state to help his mom win her reelection. When the polls finally meet his target, he goes back to his hotel room, so exhausted (but happy) that he throws himself onto the bed and immediately falls asleep. | |

Master of the Mixed Message | |
| Red, White & Royal Blue / int_fb7cc1ff | comment |
Master of the Mixed Message: Henry insists that his relationship with Alex remain casual because of the press. Then he arranges multiple clandestine rendezvous to hook up with Alex and literally asks the other man to make love to him while they're staying together in Paris, the City of Love. Therefore, Henry only has himself to blame for letting Alex assume their relationship is far more serious than Henry originally intended for it to be, eventually leading to Alex falling in love with him for real. | |
