Hello, Prince Henry!
Over the past few years, actor Nicholas Galitzine has cemented himself as a heartthrob with roles in Red, White & Royal Blue, Bottoms, and The Idea of You. Now, he’s showing the world how he’s prepping for his next big movie, and the internet is having trouble catching its breath.
