Characters Reading: Prince Henry (Red, White & Royal Blue)

In this scene from the movie Red, White & Royal Blue, Prince Henry at night was reading the classic novel, Howards End by E.M. Forster. Henry is a total bookworm, he reads a lot of books and seems to enjoy talking about them and references them. Anyway, back to this scene, Henry didn't get a chance to finish reading because First Son Alexander Claremont-Diaz unexpectantly showed up to Kensington Palace. Henry had been ignoring Alex's calls, so Alex got on a plane and flew out to see him. He not only wanted answers to why Henry was ignoring his calls but to also declare his love for him even though he didn't think Henry would do the same. Which set up a very important and passionate converstation between them which highlighted how complicated Henry believed his life was. And although he loves Alex, he may not be able to live the life that he wants due to his royal status.

I love this movie, it's been a while since I've seen it. Maybe I'll rewatch it sometime this week or the weekend. And at some point I'm going to read the book Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston
