FACT CHECK: Is Nicholas Galitzine Gay?

As the Red, White & Royal Blue movie dropped on Amazon Prime Video yesterday, fans have been intrigued by Nicholas Galitzine’s brilliant portrayal of a queer British prince, Henry. The film follows the secret relationship between Alex Claremont, played by Taylor Zakhar Perez, and Prince Henry.

The romantic comedy portrays Alex and Henry as bisexual and gay characters. Director Matthew Lopez explained that it was important for fans to acknowledge that it’s not a movie about two gay characters, as one of them is bisexual.

“They are in love, and they are a same-sex couple, yes, as in the novel, and as in the movie, the B in LGBTQ is not a silent letter. That was really important to me because it was important to Casey [McQuiston].”

However, this is not the first queer character that Nicholas has played. He has played a sequence of LGBTQ characters, and all of them have received praise from fans and critics alike. Naturally, many are curious to know Nicholas’ sexual orientation and his dating life.

Read on as I explain everything that has been revealed about Galitzine and all his previous queer roles.

Is Nicholas Galitzine Gay in Real Life?

The world keeps speculating if Nicholas Galitzine is a member of the LGBTQ community, owing to the many homosexual characters he has played. However, the actor has never confirmed his sexual orientation. Very little is known about his personal life as he liked to keep his private life undisclosed.

Galitzine has always avoided discussing his personal life in interviews and on social media. His dating status is also unknown. However, the decision is probably best for a celebrity to keep their loved ones away from prying eyes.

Are Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Perez Dating?

Both Nicholas Galitzine and Taylor Zakhar Parez like to keep their personal lives away from the prying eyes of the media. None of them have confirmed their sexual orientation and are most likely not dating. There have been no reports of the actors linking up during the filming or promotions of the Red White and Royal Blue movie.

Their on-screen chemistry might have led you to believe there is some real-life spark between them. However, they are brilliant actors, and their characters should not be mixed with them.

Taylor is vocal about his support for the LGBTQ community, but keep in mind that he only supports the community’s rights and has never admitted to belonging to it. He has never publicly discussed his sexual orientation.

Galitzine commented on the intimate scenes with Perez, “It’s a crazy thing to be intimate in that way with your friend, and we want people to fall in love with these characters because their love has to be real.”

Perez also added that their guards were down during the rehearsals, but as soon as someone would yell “CUT!” they would throw stupid comments.
