## Timeline (In the Book)

### Chapter One

During the Royal Wedding Nora, June, and Alex are commenting on the Henry's looks and Nora asks "'You gonna ask him to dance, then?'" Alex rolls his eyes but later Nora says he is blushing. Later on after June is asked to dance by Henry, Alex is upset at Henry for asking his sister to dance. Later after Alex has had a few too many drinks he walks up to Henry and starts a conversation. During the conversation Alex tries to irritate Henry by asking about his fake profile his gives. After Henry has had enough of this he tries to walk away, Alex grabs Henry back towards him. Henry pushes Alex off of him and in result Alex starts to fall backwards, he falls into the table that holds the huge wedding cake and tries to grab Henry to stabilize himself but in the end drags both of them falling into the cake knocking it over.

### Chapter Two

After an article about the cake incident comes out, Alex is summoned to a meeting with his mother and discusses how Alex is going to be sent to England for the weekend despite his protests. Zahra informs Alex that the story he is going to have to go along with is that him and Henry are actually close friends for the past years. This is to cover up the incident and make it look like a "homoerotic frat bro mishap" and not a rivalry so that Alex's mother Ellen Claremont still has a good chance at her re-election. Alex is told by Zahra that he is to act like Henry is his best friend and he needs to sell it to the press as well. He is going to spend the weekend doing a charity event with Henry. He is then given a paper called HRH Prince Henry Fact Sheet. Zahra then gives him a piece of paper that says;

`Minimum two (2) social media posts per day highlighting England/visit thereof`

`One (1) on-air interview with *ITV This Morning,* lasting five (5) minutes, in accordance with determined narrative`

`Two (2) joint appearances with photographers present: one (1) private meeting, one (1) public charity appearance.`

He later on makes a list in his head,

One. His mother needs good press

Two. Having a shitty record on foreign relations definitely won't help his career

Three. Free trip to Europe

Later on the White House Trio (Nora, June, and Alex) are playing a game with the HRH Prince Henry Fact Sheet and are all making fun of his choices. They turn it into a drinking game.

After Alex arrives in England he meets up with Henry and they talk through smiles with things like "Let's get this over with'" and "'I'd rather be waterboarded'" while photos are being taken of them.

Later on that night Alex can't sleep so his is in the kitchen connected to his room and is sitting talking with Nora about his day, he hears something down the hallway and hangs up the phone as Henry walks in. Alex described Henry is a grey t-shirt and plaid bottoms looking un-princely. Henry takes out his earbuds and mentions to the fridge saying "'Cornettos'" Alex asks him "what" and Henry pulls out ice cream cones from the freezer. Henry tries to talk with Alex asking if he was ready for the interview the following day and Alex responds dryly with saying that Henry wasn't the only professional at this. Henry asks if he wanted to rehearse and Alex shoots him down. Alex then types out an Instagram post (you can see the Instagram set up for the movie here: @theagcd ) Henry then starts to walk away but not before saying "I didn't know you wore glasses" to Alex and walking away.

While Alex and Henry arrive at the interview Alex notices Henry swallow a pill before exiting the car. Alex puts his arm around Henry and says "Act like you like me!" and they smile to the photographers as they walk in. Nearing the end of the interview Alex says, "And of course, it's always great to see this guy." and goes to give Henry a fist bump, Henry hesitates then returns the gesture.

Him and Henry are doing a charity event at the hospital with kids with cancer. Henry introduces Alex to the kids as the president's son and he gets asked questions about America. Alex loses Henry when talking to the kids and after the kid he is visiting falls asleep he go looks for Henry. He hears him talking to a little girl and listens through the curtain. Alex ease drops on Henry's conversation with Claudette about Star Wars. He listens to Claudette get told to address Henry by his title instead of just Henry but Henry goes to her aid saying that "Rebel Commanders outrank Royalty. After the nurses tell Henry she needs to be checked on, Alex pulls him aside and congratulated him on actually having feelings. Then things turn. There is screaming and something that sounds like a gunshot and they are pushed into a utility closet. While in the closet (haha puns.), Alex trips into Henry and Alex falls on top of Henry. To this Alex says, "we have got to stop ending up like this" while on top of Henry. Henry tells him to shut up and after a bit of fighting he pushes Alex off of him and Alex is now between Henry and cleaning supplies. Alex asks if Henry could move over because he prefers not to be the little spoon and after listening to the outside noises, they decide that they are going to be in the closet for longer than expected and they better get comfortable. Henry answers Alex's earlier remark saying that this is the first time his life has ever been threatened as well and sarcastically adds that this is exactly how he imagined it, "locked in a cupboard with your elbow inside my rib cage". Henry obviously sounds annoyed and Alex,wanting to play with him, elbows him, hard. Henry makes a painful sound and drags Alex under him by the shirt and pins him down with his thigh. Alex taunting him tries to buck up his hips to try to get Henry off but Henry stays on top of him and instead grabs his collar. Henry says, "are you quite finished. can you perhaps stop putting your sodding life in danger now?" to which Alex replies, "aw, you do care. I'm learning all your hidden depths today, sweetheart. Henry gets off of Alex and then Alex tries to start a conversation, they talk about how Henry's life isn't just training for being king but that he does get some free time. After than topic passes Henry brings up why do you hate me so much. Alex has a flashback of that day remembering the Olympics and he tells Henry about how he introduced himself to him and how Henry started at him like he offended him somehow. Then how Henry turned to Shaan and told him to get rid of Alex. Henry admits that he didn't realize that Alex heard that and Alex points out that it was still a douchey thing to do. Henry tells him that he apologizes and that his father had died four months before and that he was affected by it for a while. Alex then realizes the meaning for being in the cancer ward. Henry's Father, Arthur Fox died of pancreatic cancer. To ease the tension Henry changes to topic saying that *Return of the Jedi* was his favorite Star Wars movies. Alex tells him his opinion was wrong and that *Empire Strikes Back* was the correct answer, they end up have a playful argument of *Return of the Jedi* and *Empire*. The door then opens and Cash (a secret service agent) opens the door and tells them that it was a false alarm (someone had brought a firework into the hospital and set it off) and says that they looked cozy together on the floor. Alex says that they were bonding and they both walk out of the closet.

Outside of Kensington Palace, Alex takes Henry's phone and puts his number into it, saying that if they are going to have to continue this fake-best-friend things then they should stay in contact. He jokes "no booty calls" and Henry laughs at that

### Chapter Three

Alex scrolls through the news on his phone and sees the article of his and Henry's "Bromance" He texts Nora and asks what the probability of them two getting into a sex scandal before the second term and Nora replies with a 94% chance. and sends him a screenshot of a GIF of him and Henry's fist bump with a comment saying "omfg make out already"

Alex talks with Rafael Luna about the whole thing with Henry and Luna (btw Luna is openly gay) comments on how attractive Henry is. Alex replies with "only if you are into fairy-tale princes" Luna askes if he is and Alex replies with no (liar). Luna then comments on how Alex practically has a Prince Henry voodoo doll or maybe it was a picture he through darts at. Then Alex says, no it was just a magazine with his face on the cover. Luna says that he stared at it for over an hour but Alex denies everything.

Alex gets his first text from Henry, the words `This looks like you,` with an image attached of Chief Chirpa. Followed with `This is Henry, by the way.`

Alex add him into his contact naming him HRH Prince Dickhead 💩 and later responds by sending a picture of Henry on a beach in Australia saying `you have a lot of moles, is that a result of inbreeding?`

Henry responds two days later of a screenshot of *Daily Mail* which reads "*Is Alex Claremont:-Diaz going to be a father?"* attached with the message `But we were ever do careful, dear.` which causes Alex to laugh so hard Zahra to make him leave their weekly debriefing.

Alex talks about how he is fond of his and Henry's conversations and arguments over text. He talks about how Henry likes to text when he is travelling between appearances or sitting through meetings or getting a spray tan (which Alex finds funny). Alex admits to checking his phone for texts from Henry whenever he is bored, stressed, or in between coffee refills. He continues to learn about Henry's life online and learns that the HRH Prince Henry Fact Sheet was incorrect but seemed informal to put it down. He talks about how he learns about Henry's sister Beatrice who goes by Bea and they share their experiences with their sisters. Henry talks about his best friend Pez.

Nora comments on Alex's faces saying, "that's not your emails-from-zahra face. You keep doing that stupid smile every time you look at your phone. Who are you texting?" Alex responds saying he has no idea what she is talking about and then she asks if he is reading fanfiction about himself again and he threatens to call Taylor Swift and say that Nora would not like to attend her party. Nora leaves it alone and Alex goes back to his conversation with Henry and he says that he wishes Henry would stop proving him wrong and making him not hate him as much.

In a text conversation between Henry and Alex the two talk about several things, starting with:

* A: I hate that tie
* H: What tie?
* A: the one in that instagram you just posted
* H: what's wrong with it? it's only grey.
* A: exactly. try patterns sometime, and stop frowning at your phone like i know you're doing rn
* H: Patterns are considered a "statement" Royals aren't supposed to make statements with what we wear.
* A: do it for the gram
* H: You are the thistle in the tender and sensitive arse crack of my life
* A: thanks!
* (Seventeen days later)
* H: I've just received a 5-kilo parcel of Ellen Claremont campaign buttons with your face on them. Is this your idea of a prank?
* A: just trying to brighten up that wardrobe, sunshine
* H: i hope this gross miscarriage of campaign funds is worth it to you. My security thought it was a bomb. Shaan almost called the sniffer dogs.
* A: oh, definitely worth it. even more worth it now. tell shaan i say hi and i miss that sweet sweet ass xoxoxo
* H: i will not.
