The look exchanged in Alex’s party

Following their cake-based altercation, Henry is invited to the party at the White House. Amid the dancing and drinking, with Lil Jon’s “Get Low” playing over the speakers, the pair is standing at opposite sides of the room. As all the other guests drop to the floor, Henry and Alex remain standing. They catch each other’s eye, the music slows, and it becomes clear that a spark has been set off between them.

The soaked stairway reunion

After months of being separated, when Alex bashfully crosses the ocean to meet with a locked-up Henry, England welcomes him with a torrential downpour! Standing soaking wet on the doors of Buckingham Palace, Alex and Henry rush across to embrace each other, and most would lie if they say they did not clutch their hearts to see those two have a sweet reunion.

The museum hideaway date

Following a rain-soaked altercation in the Buckingham Palace about their future, Alex takes Henry to his favourite museum, a place where, at night, “no one else is around to gawk at you or try to take your picture.” The prince explains: “When I was younger, I would dream of taking somebody I loved here, and he’d love it just as much as I do. And we’d dance right here amidst all these statues, just a daft pubescent fantasy.” And as they dance away to Perfume Genius’ chilling cover of ‘Can’t Help Falling in Love’, it truly melts your heart to see them together.

Alex & Henry against the world

After their raunchy emails get leaked and Alex and Henry’s relationship is reluctantly ousted, crowds of thousands form around the UK in support of the power couple, providing Henry with the courage to “no longer be the prince of shame and secrets”. Alex and Henry subsequently face the world together as a couple, one that refuses to be restrained by the archaic rules of the monarchy.

Alex’s speech

After Henry and Alex are outed to the world by a journalist, the pair attempt to grapple with what their relationship means for their families, their countries and their roles in public life. In one of the film’s most poignant moments, Alex gives a speech to the press and to the people of the US from the White House, in which he professes his love for Henry, and emotionally condemns the forced outing.
