Nicholas Galitzine Says Shooting ‘Red, White & Royal Wedding’ Was a ‘Nice Reset’ After World War II Movie ‘The Mosquito Bowl’
Developing story first seen 1 hour ago
Galitzine has revealed that filming the “Red, White & Royal Blue” sequel was a “nice reset” after five months on the World War II drama “The Mosquito Bowl”, where he said bombs were blowing up around him. The contrast reflects the very different tone of the projects: he describes the war film as an anti-war story showing the brutality of combat.
“Red, White & Royal Wedding” reunites Galitzine as Prince Henry with Taylor Zakhar Perez as Alex and adds Lena Headey as Henry’s mother. Plot details remain under wraps; the film reportedly centres on Princess Beatrice’s wedding, and Prime Video has not announced a release date. In “The Mosquito Bowl”, Galitzine plays real-life football star John McLaughry, and the film is due in cinemas on 30 October and on Netflix on 25 November.

Explained simply
Nicholas Galitzine is a British actor whose roles include Prince Henry in the romantic comedy Red, White & Royal Blue, based on Casey McQuiston’s novel. Taylor Zakhar Perez plays Alex, an American official’s son; the story follows their relationship and the strain it places on their public lives.
Red, White & Royal Wedding is a sequel to that film, continuing the story of Henry and Alex. The Mosquito Bowl is a separate war drama in which Galitzine plays John McLaughry, a real American football player who served during the Second World War.
The projects have very different settings and tones: one centres on romance and royal life, while the other depicts wartime combat. That contrast helps explain why moving between the two productions could feel like a change of pace.
