Prime Video’s adaptation of “Red, White & Royal Blue” not only capitalized on the ongoing popularity of the beloved book but also thrust its lead actors, Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez, into the spotlight. Following the release of the film, audiences found themselves eager to delve deeper into the lives of these two actors, particularly Galitzine, whose portrayal of the closeted British prince, Prince Henry, left a lasting impression.
Galitzine’s portrayal of Prince Henry was met with admiration for its authenticity and finesse, leading many to ponder about the actor’s own sexual orientation. This curiosity was fueled by the fact that “Red, White & Royal Blue” was not Galitzine’s first foray into LGBTQ+ roles on screen. Prior to his role in the film, he had portrayed characters like Conor Masters in “Handsome Devil” and Timmy Andrews in “The Craft: Legacy,” among others.
Moreover, Galitzine’s upcoming role as George Villiers, the lover of King James VI of Scotland and I of England, in the drama “Mary & George,” set to premiere in April 2024, added to the intrigue surrounding his portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters.
The question of Galitzine’s sexual orientation, amplified by his undeniable chemistry with Perez in “Red, White & Royal Blue,” has become a topic of discussion among fans. Despite speculation, Galitzine has not publicly addressed his sexual orientation. In an interview with L’Officiel in October 2023, he discussed the challenges of dating while navigating fame, hinting at the complexities of his personal life.
Like many celebrities, Galitzine values his privacy and has chosen not to divulge details about his romantic relationships. Regardless of his sexual orientation, he has garnered a dedicated fanbase, many of whom are members of the LGBTQ+ community, drawn to his talent and representation on screen.
