After a lot of anticipation, the adaptation of the hit young adult novel Red, White & Royal Blue finally premiered on Amazon this month—and it was worth the wait. The film’s young cast immediately received a horde of fans online, but do you know where they went to school before starring in this hit rom-com?
Taylor Zakhar Perez

Rachel Hilson
