Prime Video’s adaptation of “Red, White & Royal Blue” not only reignited the fervor surrounding the beloved book but also catapulted its lead stars, Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez, into the limelight.
After watching the film, it’s nearly impossible to resist the cosmic pull to learn more about these two actors, particularly Nicholas Galitzine. He has hearts swooning as Prince Henry and minds buzzing with curiosity about his real-life sexual orientation.
Galitzine portrays the closeted British prince with such finesse that fans can’t help but wonder if he shares his character’s sexuality in real life. This curiosity isn’t new territory for Galitzine. “Red, White & Royal Blue” isn’t his first LGBTQ+ role, prompting even more speculation.
What other LGBTQ+ roles has Nicholas Galitzine played?
While many fans might recognize Galitzine as Prince Robert from 2021’s live-action “Cinderella,” his devoted followers know him for his numerous LGBTQ+ roles. He played Conor Masters in “Handsome Devil” and Timmy Andrews in “The Craft: Legacy,” among others. Additionally, he is set to play George Villiers, the lover of King James VI of Scotland and I of England, in the drama “Mary & George,” slated for release in April 2024.
Given Galitzine’s impressive track record and his undeniable chemistry with Perez in “Red, White & Royal Blue,” a question has been circulating quite frequently…
Is Nicholas Galitzine gay, and is he dating anyone?
Galitzine wouldn’t be the first actor to take on LGBTQ+ roles regardless of his own sexuality. However, as speculation continues, it’s worth noting that Galitzine has addressed this question publicly. In a candid interview with Deadline in May, he stated:
“I identify as a straight man, but I have been a part of some incredible queer stories.”
He also spoke about feeling a sense of guilt for portraying queer characters as a straight man, emphasizing that the characters he plays are more than just their sexuality. Regardless of his own orientation, Galitzine has cultivated a devoted fanbase, many of whom are members of the LGBTQ+ community.
“Red, White & Royal Blue” is now streaming on Prime Video, offering fans the chance to witness Galitzine’s compelling performance and perhaps even fuel a bit more curiosity about this talented actor.
