RWRB Movie Analysis: Henry's Seclusion and Perception-Part 1

“They used to call me the prince of England’s hearts, but now it feels like everyone hates me.”

“Hey, they still love you.”

“They love the idea of me. And now they are faced with the reality.”

These three lines stuck with me for some reason.

The time gap between the email leaks and Alex flying to London is significantly longer in the movie. In the book it was almost immediate, I think in the span of one or two days? But in the movie, it was a week.

In that week, Alex wasn't shielded away from media or news about the matter, seeing as he watched Miguel's interview on his laptop. We already know that his parents are ultimately incredibly supportive of both his sexuality and his relationship with Henry. The White House Staff, his team, are implied to be supportive as well, since I don't think the press conference and his speech was solely his effort, plus Zahra said she's proud of him. Him getting outted before he was ready was a terrible thing that happened to him, but amidst the chao and pain, he had a support system, and he wasn't limited to seeing a single side of the public's reaction.

Henry though? Henry and Bea, the only other person who supports him (I do think Shaan does care about and support Henry, but he's also a palace employee under orders), had all of their electronics, their tools to access the internet, outside information taken away from them. He was stuck with a brother who was endlessly berating him, a grandfather who was giving him the cold shoulder, and a neglectful, absent mother. Bea loves him, but when the rest of the family is crushing down on him there's only so much one person can do. Even in meetings, even if the situation is entirely about him, about his sexuality and relationship, he's not involved in discussions. There's a heartbreaking shot during Alex’s speech, where although he’s in the centre of the frame, although he's at the head of the table, the other people aren't facing him, they’re talking among themselves, not talking to him. And Henry looks like he desperately wants to be part of the conversation, but he can't cut in, and you can see his eyes drop and him giving up. I don't know if anyone has had that experience, of wanting to join in a discussion but constantly getting cut out or ignored, but I can tell you, it feels fucking awful.

So in that horrible, horrible week, Henry was forced into an information cocoon, where all the information he received was how bad this thing that was forced onto him was for the crown's image, how awful of a person he is for being gay and pursuing a relationship with Alex/ letting a “mad infatuation” ruin the image they made him create, and how others in the palace are dealing with this for him in a way he doesn't agree or have a say in. That's all he could see, and when that’s all you can see, it starts to feel like the definitive truth.

That's why it feels like everyone hates him. Because within the space he was confined in, save for Bea and Shaan, everyone did act like they hated him. No Alex, No Pez, No. Oscar, no public opinion. He was forbidden from seeing any support. That's why he feels so lost.

So when finally, he gets to see a sea of rainbow outside Buckingham Palace, he's so overwhelmingly glad and determined, as he realizes that he's still the Prince of England's heart, he is still loved by his people, perhaps even more so now, because he's one of them. He's their rainbow prince.

He's finally confident, as he takes his love's hand and steps out onto the balcony, greeted by howling cheers and applause, an ocean of support that he didn't get to see before, but was always there.

Alex was right all along.

"They still love you."

Hi! I’m new to your blog and bruh… I finished reading Falling and wow. My heart was IN PAIN. I was holding in my tears and I don’t think it was a good idea because my heart is in pain right now lol.

I want to know about the tattooist’s story. Was she in the situation as oc and jk? Is she with her first lover? Soulmate? No one? I wonder what she went through. When she said it occurs a lot, I want to believe there are more people like them. Who don’t have a soulmate and fall in love with someone who isn’t them. The idea of soulmates sounds beautiful and romantic, but when you think about it. Not so much. There will never be a perfect society where everything is perfect. There will always be a ‘defect’ per se. It gives you a glimpse of what could be if this happens in real life. I’m in love with the idea of finding your soulmate but I think in your own terms. For example, Jimin and Taehyung. They are each other’s soulmates in real life meaning they come to this understanding and love for each other that you rarely find. Something so beautiful and profound. They found each other and didn’t need a mark to reveal that. I might sound contradicting but I hope I explain myself well lmao. I feel like life leads people to find their soulmates and not gives them a mark on who it will be. People fall in love with whom they connect. Just like oc and jk. They are the prime example of not needing a mark to have a bond. One can even say that they are each other’s soulmates in a sense of them connecting each other so strongly. I like the fact that we don’t have this in real life because you get to fall in love naturally and not need a mark. I would hope to find mines like the way oc and jk did. I wanted a part two, but thinking about it, I think they way it ended is best as it is. I believe they are together because the love jk has for is so strong than he will ever feel for Rose. I love this story so much and I believe they are together and in love. 🖤

hi bestie!!! welcome to my shitshow of a blog hehe

i love your analysis on falling so much! i totally agree with you when you say that ideally, predetermined soulmates sound like such a great thing, but in reality i think that having free will in choosing a partner is so much better.

i definitely wrote the falling universe with the intention of sprinkling in that yes, there is the possibility that jungkook and oc could still be together despite what happened to them. like you're saying, a soulmate is someone who you just happen to connect with and fall in love deeply. i was hoping that people would pick up on what i was alluding with the tattoo artist & jimin/taehyung's relationship, so i'm glad you did! i get a lot of asks about a part two for this story but i personally love the ambiguity of the ending - oc & jk may be together, but they also may not be! in my head i've chosen my ending (but i'll never tell y'all that 🤣😌).

thank you so so much for reading & sending this in to me!! i love reading stuff like this from you guys🥺🥺 i hope you continue to stick around my blog despite how flaky i can be sometimes💘
