A movie which got released on Amazon prime yesterday, streaming online directed by Mathew Lopez based on a best selling novel written by Casey McQuiston . It is a light hearted movie touching the deep rooted problem of society, featuring the perfect cast Nicholas Galitzine as prince henry and Taylor Zakhar Perez as Alex the president son , it has a lot of beautiful and heart touching scenes, which did justice to the novel , my personal favorite is that of cake on the ground and the dance in the museum , shows the human love goes beyond the body and gender. It also reflects how a royal family deals with the public eyes and the pressure , identity crisis, struggles etc. which can be associated with the real prince Henry struggle and controversies that comes to the forefront everytime. The cultural differences are stark with the American and British family reaction to coming out . It also shows an important role of journalists as in breaching the privacy of famous and popular people, the hacking of the emails shows that clearly which indicates that sometimes the reporters cross certain lines which need to be kept intact. Overall , this rom-com is receiving great love from the fans and you should watch it too for a good laugh.
