Background
The film is a sequel of Red, White & Royal Blue, which itself was based on the 2019 novel Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. The 2023 film was an enemies to lovers romance between the fictional third in line to the throne of the United Kingdom, Prince Henry, and the son of the fictional President of the United States Ellen Claremont, Alex Claremont-Diaz, as they navigate their private lives with their public ones as figureheads for their respective countries.In May 2024, it was confirmed that a sequel to the film was in development. López revealed the news at a Q&A after a promotional screening of the first film, followed by a teaser image with the caption "fancy another slice?". Unlike the first film, Red, White & Royal Wedding does not have a book it will be directly adapted from as the original novel was a standalone work. In October 2025, the project was officially greenlit and the title was released. Julie Rapaport, the head of movies at Amazon MGM Studios, added "we can't wait to bring fans an unforgettable new chapter in their love story."
The title, Red, White & Royal Wedding, triggered speculation that the film would be about the wedding between Prince Henry and Alex, drawn from a chapter exclusive to the Red, White & Royal Blue novel collector's edition which was about the couple planning a wedding. In a short clip released in January 2026, Galitzine and Zakhar Perez denied this and claimed the wedding was of Princess Beatrice, Prince Henry's younger sister.
