As A "Red, White & Royal Blue" Super-Fan, Here Are 15 Book-To-Movie Differences I Noticed

The movie is really fun, but I think we all know that no book-to-movie adaptation can please everyone. Needless to say, a few things have been changed in the movie version of Red, White & Royal Blue.

So, here are just a few things that I noticed – as a big fan of the book – are different in the movie, for better or for worse...

Note: This post contains MAJOR spoilers for the movie, so if you haven't seen it yet, maybe bookmark this and come back!

1. The most glaring change that's been made is that Alex no longer has a sister.

2. June being axed also sort of affects Pez's role in the story.

3. The whole book is written from Alex's point-of-view, which changes how we see Henry A LOT.

4. Instead of a formidable queen on the throne, there is now a king.

5. Alex's parents are divorced and he has a step-dad in the books.

6. Bea is a much smaller part, and her addiction issues are completely missing from the film.

7. In the book, Alex gives Henry his number, instead of Henry "finding" it.

8. The turkey bit goes on for agessss, and sort of represents a breakthrough in their relationship.

9. The Wimbledon excursion – complete with secret bang – has been cut out.

10. Alex doesn't give him his necklace in the book, he takes Henry's signet ring and adds it to the necklace.

11. The song that Alex plays in V&A is "Your Song" by Elton John, not "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley.

12. The bit where Alex flies to London to win Henry back is so much more dramatic and amazing in the book!

13. Alex and Henry's emails are leaked by the opposition, not a scorned journalist.

14. Henry's mother is the one who stands up for him at the end, and helps convince the queen to let Henry be with Alex.

15. And finally, they don't go out onto the balcony in the book (although you really want them to!!!)
