Like the book off which it’s based, the film centers on Alex Claremont-Diaz, the Mexican American son of the U.S. president and his royal counterpart Prince Henry. The plot kicks off when the two feuding political progeny, and longtime rivals, get into an altercation, and the tabloids get hold of a photo of the incident, prompting their handlers to “devise a plan for damage control: staging a truce.” Their fake friendship soon evolves, and then hurtles, into a secret romance that threatens to complicate Alex’s mother’s re-election campaign.
The film’s trailer, which dropped in July, unveiled a first look atTaylor Zakhar Perez’s portrayal of Alex,Nicholas Galitzineas Prince Henry of Britain, and Uma Thurman as the U.S president (with a thick southern accent). The adaptation also stars Stephen Fry, Sarah Shahi, Ellie Bamber, Clifton Collins Jr., Rachel Hilson and Thomas Flynn.
